How To Overcome Problems With Open Communication

Talking really does work.

In my previous post entitled “How To Have A Better First Date, The Evolution of Relationship Building”, I discussed how my girlfriend and I went on a date and asked each other a ton of various questions on a multitude of topics.

But what I didn’t mention was that one of those questions that I answered, I answered with….a lie.

To this day I am not 100% sure why I answered it with a lie. But I did nonetheless.

It was a question that was asked very early on in the night. I knew I liked her a lot. But I didn’t 100% know how everything was going to work out with us. So a lie came out. And it would come to bite me in the rear down the road.

Somewhere in me I knew that if I had told the truth then, it would have been over for us right then and there. And that scared me.

Let me state that I do not believe in lying. Lying is NOT ok at all. I do not condone it, nor do I tolerate it.

But mistakes do happen. And I made a HUGE one on this one. And a few months later it happened. She found out I had lied.

I was terrified it was over for us. By this time, I was hands down in love with her. More than I have been with anyone in my life. Yes I loved me…
