I think that it’s very important to get your expectations out there ... .
You can say, ‘I want this from this relationship. I want you to be with me every Saturday night’, ... and you may be making demands and having expectations that are totally unrealistic ... .
You were probably told that initially, but you didn’t hear, or pay attention, or you didn’t believe it.
So many people think they can change other people, and that’s just not what it’s about.
It’s about accepting people for who they are, and enjoying what you can when you’re with them ... getting to know them and see who they are instead of focusing on changing them. When you really are dating you want to know somebody.
And you want to be known.
