Communicate

You are in a relationship with another person and their thought process matters as much as yours. You can’t slow down the speed of your relationship when only you know that things are moving too fast. Communicate this to your partner.

Ask Your Friends Opinion

If you are close to your friends and don’t mind sharing things about your relationship with them then share your feelings with them. Maybe they might be able to tell whether what you are feeling is right or not from their point of view. Friends are the best option to talk to because they are pretty blunt in giving their opinion. They wouldn’t mind telling you when and where you are wrong.

 

Take A Break
