Never ask me for a relationship advice.
I mean, I'm happily married to a girl I love, but I don't think I figured it out. I feel I have no clue how this whole "love" thingy works.
Well… maybe there's one thing I DO know about relationships. It's more about what NOT to do.
And it has to do with the "Who has the upper hand?" concept. You might have realized it by now – a healthy relationship has a good balance. You neither want to have the upper hand at all times, nor that the other side will. Giving them the feeling that they control you; that you admire them; that you would do ANYTHING they ask you to – well, this is a HUGE turn off.
Most people don't want to date a puppy. (Unless you're one of the rare people like the Marquis de Sade. Then you can forget about this blog post. Don't read further on.)
We want someone on the same level like us. Otherwise it doesn't last for long. One side becomes resentful or bored, or both.
