Relationship Coaching: 6 tips to go from dating to in a relationship

If you are dating and want to get into a relationship you must follow these 7 tips. And if you are already in a relationship some of them will still apply too.
1. Give one bite at the time. Let me explain. Don’t tell him what you like… don’t tell him your full life story… let him figure you out by spending time with you by dating you by investing into you. Let him ask questions and see for himself how you respond to different situations, places, music and restaurants… dating is a process of learning about each other. Therefore keep it there don’t blab it all away and then completely take away, mystery and fun. Relationship Coaches see this occur frequently, where women go all in on the first date or two and tell them everything, and there is no mystery left. Remember men like putting pieces together they like figuring you out. Give it bit by bit so he doesn’t over eat the cake and gets sick.
2. Stay patient don’t push it… if you are talking to him and you are clicking, enjoying the conversations. Don’t suggest the dates. Don’t imply that you want to see him. Don’t go over to drop by in his area. Don’t hint that you are into him so he would ask you out. Just enjoy the conversation and let him take the lead by staying patient. Because if he likes you, he will make it known and he will ask you out. Just wait… as a relationship coach, we see time and time again women being too pushy to get there man to commit. Trust the process, and take your time.
3. Unless he says you guys are together you are not. Unless he puts the pics of you both on social media, unless he introduces you to his friends and family unless he calls you his love, girlfriend, the one and only your relationship is invalid. You want to know if a couple is in a happy relationship just watch how a man treats a woman.
4. Control your emotions . Believe in yourself but not in your emotions. A lot of times women don’t believe in themselves and think they are unworthy but believe in their emotions and completely act on them. That way they end up losing in relationships. Instead believe in yourself have self value and worth but don’t believe in your emotions( assumptions, overthinking, imagining things etc…).When you feel upset and are about to lose emotional control reject your emotions make them in your head invalid and follow the right thing to do ,follow your head, follow the logic. Thats how you will always win in love.
5. Ladies when a man tells you he is not ready for a relationship. You stop allowing him to kiss you, hold your hand or do any other naughty stuff. If he says let’s just have fun. Say oh I have tones of fun in my life. But I do not kiss my friends. Or even better step back and stop entertaining him all together… leave the games for the kids.
6. Ladies when a man asks you for space. You do not go after him asking what’s wrong, you seem so emotionally closed off, you need to open up more. Let’s talk it out. You do not call or text… as this way you are behaving need and disrespecting his request. Instead behave like you trust him, and show him respect by giving him space. And the less you will bother him the quicker he will be back. Women will come to us and tell us that they’ve been ghosted or ignored. As a relationship coach we constantly point out that you need to allow them to have their space. This will make him want to come back even sooner.
