Midweek Motivation
How is it only Wednesday? Below we have some questions answered from our Sunday Scaries Q and A to get you through. Followed by a cocktail, of course.
Q. I met a guy who love bombed me intensely, and after i fell for him, he disappeared. Was it just a game?
Apart from the term ‘love bombed’, this is really nothing new. We’ve heard, time and again, the tales of people who were distant and keeping their space all until someone wore them down with their undying passion and inevitably convinced them to open up, thereby leaving them vulnerable. Once that was accomplished, the game was over and it was on to a new conquest. Of course, this is not a ‘rule’ by any means, but it’s a pattern, and more often than not, it’s not a conscious one. Love bombing can happen for a myriad of reasons! It can be as simple as it being a psychological challenge of sorts or something more complicated in their childhood that made them incapable of processing love in a healthy way.
If you’ve been love bombed and are unsure of how to feel, or process it, maybe take some distance. Space can often open your eyes to a perspective not readily available to you as you’re too close to the situation. Because it seems innocuous, we don’t take seriously the ramifications of love bombing and how it can psychologically take a toll on you, so the best course of action is to either confront your partner, or try to extricate yourself from the situation.
Q. After how many dates can I bring up exclusivity? And should it be me or the guy?
There is no archaic rule that dictates how you approach exclusivity, or when. If you feel like you are ready, and that your partner may share the same sentiment, you can broach the subject and see where their head is at. If you’re seeing each other daily, or more often, it won't be the same as a couple who can only see each other once a week, so it makes a specific time-stamp rule obsolete. Do you know the person well? Do you trust them? Those are the kind of questions you should ask prior to making the leap into unknown territory.
Q. How do I know if my partner is The One?
The theory of ‘the one’ is a frightening, overbearing idea that one person is your end all and be all, and that’s who you should constantly be on the lookout for. It’s daunting. If you love your partner and choose to settle down with them, and down the line something went wrong, were you wrong in your choice of your ‘the one’? Soulmate, the one, love of my life: these are all ideas we cling on to that all essentially tell us there is one person out there for you, and only that one will complete you. There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to finding a person’s soulmate. If you are with someone who makes you feel safe, secure, and loved, that could very well be your ‘the one’. Look for those qualities, and those traits, as opposed to the soul crushing magnitude of finding one person to spend the rest of your life with.
