Take me out to the ball game….
First Base– This would be the first 3 months of a relationship. According to a good friend of mine, as “He” so called it, the honeymoon is over with after the third month.
“If a girl starts out all casual with a guy and she doesn’t tell him that she wants a relationship, it will never become a relationship. If you give the guy the impression that casual is okay with you, that’s all he’ll ever want. Be straight with him from the start. If he gets scared and runs away, he wasn’t right for you.” ― Susane Colasanti
Second Base– Is considered the 6 months into the relationship where things start getting serious. When this second base starts, it’s when women want more than just to be a “cool chic” to go out with.
“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” ― Peter F. Drucker
Third Base– By the time you reach this 3rd base, you should be 9 months into the relationship. The relationship should be fully established. Though you start to think if the past 6 months were worth it and if you can tolerate each other. Remember in this base that “Desire” is the key to motivation.
Home Plate– If you’ve made it this far, you have reached your full year, you are definitely ready to move on. At this point, you are both agreeing to share your lives together. Remember that connections are made with the heart. If you’ve struggled to get to this stage and the relationship has been like a rollercoaster ride, run and run fast. If you are not sure at this point, do not stay with him/her for all the wrong reasons.
“I didn’t think I belonged here in her world, a boy stuck between two lives, dragging the dangers of the wolves with me, but when she said my name, waiting for me to follow, I knew I’d do anything to stay with her.” ― M. Stiefvater
