Are We As Choosy About Relationships As We Think?
from The Relationship Guy
In this episode, John talks about how we, as human beings craving connection, we may not be as selective as we are led to believe when it comes to building new relationships and creating new connections. KEY TAKEAWAYS Studies show that people are not always selective when it comes to choosing a partner. During speed test studies, people said yes to 40% of their dating options. People often experience guilt-like feelings when making the decision to remain with a partner, which can lead to them simply staying put so as not to cause offence. Even after a relationship is dissolved, these decisions don't always stick, leading to an on-again, off-again situation, instead of us striking out and finding someone new. BEST MOMENTS 'Romantic relationships are a very emotionally charged aspect of people's lives' 'The path that leads to a long term relationship seems easier than the path that leads us to being single' 'It's hard to walk away for good' VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to be able to create healthy relationships in your life - why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy ABOUT THE HOST I am John Kenny, The Relationship Guy - Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.
