Pretty much everyone has a few dating peeves that start to get them a little annoyed over time. Most people push these peeves under the surface, ignoring them altogether, or decide to stop going on dates entirely with people that do said peeves. Communication in relationships allows us to express these what these peeves are; sometimes the person may not even know they are doing something. Not holding in the communication is vital. It is also important not to blame the other person and not to judge them either. Being aware of some of the peeves that are out there can help people avoid them, however. Think about if these are you, and if they are something you want to improve upon.
One of the negatives of technology is that people always seem to be connected. Whether it is social media, cell phone games, work, or that new television show, people letting themselves get distracted and failing to get quality time together because of it is a problem that many couples have. It has even been known to happen on phone dates with some on occasion, and that’s before two people have even met in person. Making sure that quality time is a priority, and void of unnecessary distractions is both respectful and essential.
Another peeve people have is when other people do not bring up issues or disagreements. Some conversations are difficult to have. Conversations can be difficult either because of the subject matter being about something your partner or potential partner disagrees with you about, or about other things that may instill fear and anxiety. The approach to conversation is vital. Be tactful, aware of timing, and keep the conversation in a tone that is more calm and open to back-and-forth discussion. If a disagreement or argument starts, stay on the conversation topic being discussed, and discuss feelings while taking care that your partner does not feel slighted or attacked by your words. Also remember, if you make a big deal about everything, the things that are actually a big deal may become lost in the noise.
Insecurities are another thing that should be addressed tactfully and respectfully. Many people get anxious when entering into a new relationship or taking further steps in a current relationship. Trust that you deserve a good partner who loves you and treats you with respect. You do. Having confidence in this can have a significant and positive impact on your phone dating success and relationship success.
