The three types of romantic relationships

There are basically three types of relationships:

1. Emotional

2. sexual

3.Financial

That’s all. There are relationships for emotional gratification, sexual gratification, and financial gratification. If you are in a relationship with a person, it will be for at least one of these three reasons. Problems arise when the two parties have different relationship agendas. A woman may be dating a man because he is paying her bills, and he may be dating her strictly for sex. Or a woman might be dating a guy she’s emotionally attached to, while he’s dating her because she gives him a couple of bucks now and then. In the ideal relationship, the two people dating are on the same page emotionally, sexually, and financially. If there is a deficiency in any of these areas, and the deficiency has not been remedied, the relationship will be temporary.

So ladies, when you start dating a man, you first need to get real (especially with yourself) about what your real agenda is. If you are dating a man strictly for his financial contributions, acknowledge that. Don’t try to justify his agenda by becoming superficial with the person and deluding yourself into thinking that he can learn to appreciate other qualities of the person. You also need to find out what the other person’s real agenda is. Don’t let them tell you.

In any game, you should at least play good defense until you’re absolutely sure the other person is willing to be on the same team as you. When you meet a person for the first time, you can’t tell if he is with you or against you. And if someone has plans to outdo you, or to get what they can from you without reciprocating, they sure as hell won’t tell you up front. More than 90 percent of all communication is nonverbal. So it’s up to you to watch and listen very closely to a person’s non-verbal language (and not your own hopes and expectations) so you can figure out where they’re coming from.
