Start That New Relationship Off on the Right Foot

 I am sure there are many of you that will be able to relate to what I have to say in this article. If you have not experienced any of this, pay attention!  From the time we are little girls, we form friendships with other little girls. Some of these friendships are carried through the rest of our lives and sometimes these friendships sort of dwindle away for one reason or another. Until we reach the dating age that our parents have set for us, most of us spend our  time with our  female friends.  Regardless of your age, you want and need female friends. Here is where a lot of us make a mistake.  Prior to us reaching dating age or we are older and are between boyfriends and husbands, we are spending time with our female friends. Then what happens? Along comes some boy or man that we think is finer than frog hair and what do we do? We put those friends on the back burner. We now have have something new and fresh in our lives and for a while we want to spend our time with this new fellow. When we become comfortable in this new relationship and feel like it may be going somewhere and possibly the new has worn off a little, we  are now ready to get back on track with our friends. We miss the shopping days, going out to the movies, out to eat or just hanging out together. At this point, you may have a potential problem. This is how a jealous man will think.  You have not been doing this so you must be seeing another man.  If you see that this makes him mad or jealous and he starts trying to control you, the best thing you can do is to let him go. if you do not you are in for a miserable existance. I am telling you this because I have walked in those shoes.  The best way to start a new relationship is to keep doing the things you normally do from the very beginning of the relationship. It is also not right to dump your friends when a man comes along.  A true friend will still be there long after he is gone.
