The honeymoon phase! The period of a budding intimate relationship where energy is abundant, patience are copious, cornucopia of emotions are being appreciated and the 'honeymooners' are getting fresh dosages of each other and can't get it fast enough. They just can't get enough of one another. Despite this being the biggest strain to the average male dater's pocket, he is happy to do anything to make her happy. Women like this for obvious reasons and they accommodate the possible dirty laundry which is attached to him and ignores any flaw that he may have.
The honeymoon phase, which lasts ideally for a year (although sometimes only a weak in the Bahamian culture), is exactly a phase. It is a short-term rushing surge which flows throughout the body of the relationship, only for a short period of time. Lovers who built their relationship on the grounds of equality, friendship, respect and esteem of the personality of each other, will adjust to the newer, more challenging phase of their relationship after the honeymoon.
There are a few reasons why most people, being either one or both partners, don't stick around after the ecstasy cease existence. Such people are :
1. The Passion Slaves
These people are those who are addicted so much to the excitement of the amorous honeymoon, they sub-consciously perceive it as being a drug. Like every junky, passion slaves merely are looking for the next hit, so they become serial daters, bailing out when the fire isn't as big as the explosion. Something they want and believe they need, this fire is what they expect to be present in every relationship for it to be a long term success, clearly not understanding honeymoons are only so great because you haven't gotten time to see his/her flaws.
He is like a new toy which stimulates high fascination to you until you reach the point of being conditioned to it's 'wonders'. At this point, you have to ask yourself whether this piano's a toy or a love to you. Only if it's the latter, you can continue in the second stage of relationship with good promise.
2. The Commit-a-phobe
These people are simple, as people say, "scared of commitment". Because of this, commitaphobes abort the relationship when they feel the connection is growing to an extent of them becoming vulnerable or emotionally strong; all signs of a long term relationship outside of the honeymoon phase. This may be due to the commitaphobic person being hurt in a previous relationship or because the commitaphobic lover is afraid that the only thing next to long term relationship is marriage, and that's enough to make anyone second guess their moves.
The commitaphobes differ from the passion slaves because passion slaves want to graduate pass the honeymoon level and commitaphobes don't. It's possible to be both.
3. The Can't Graduate----rrs
Have you ever noticed that you're with someone and the relationship seems to stay floating on the surface. In other words, you both haven't submerge into your relationship fully. You know he's a nice person however you don't know why this honeymoon stage is lasting so long... and the next level doesn't arrive. Well you might be one of the many who have a problem graduating to a higher level. Passion Slaves don't graduate because as the relationship matures, they lose interest in the lackluster love. Commitaphobes don't graduate because of the fear of commitment. 'Nongraduaters' don't graduate because there's an unknown factor which leaves them on the level of a relationship with no dept.
Sometimes relationships merely don't work and the partner calls a quits not because he/she is a passion slave, commitaphobe nor a 'can't-graduater'. He/she calls a quits because he/she is sagacious and is being perspicacious in leaving before it gets too hard.
If you find yourself being anyone of the aforementioned personality types, be certain you know what you want. If what you want is a long term relationship, come to the realization that life and love isn't a constant climatic climate. It is a personal interaction between you and others where trails take place which normally are followed by bliss. Also, realize that when you're in a relationship which is solely measured on how you and the partner relates to one another. remain being yourself and date and like the frog, don't go looking for flies, let the flies come to you (I got that from Hey Arnold!). Stay being yourself and you'll find someone who will take you to the next level and beyond!!!
