Question
Relational Stages & Expectations: How were the "stages of relationships" evident in a relationship that you are in currently, have had in the past, or are familiar with? You should be thoroughly analyzing at least 3 - 4 stages (within one relationship). "Set the scene" by giving at least a little background on the relationship or relationships, but may also choose to observe family dynamics, friendships, or work relationships instead. Did/do you two share the same "appropriate" behaviors and attitudes for each of these stages, or were/are there distinctly different expecations? How are these communicated in the relationship? What did/ do the relational partners (lovers, friends, family members, coworkers) have as influences? Is your (or their) cultural background a factor?

Explanation / Answer
We both shared a great chemistry together amoung us. I was working for a multinational company in dubai and she was 2 years junior than me. She was on the same floor as mine in the office but was in the different department. We often had a formal talk regarding work as we had to share work amoungst us. But her behaviour really touched me and somehow indirectly i knew she also started to like me.
This stage of our relationship was the connection stage. We immediately got connected but it took long to experss my feelings to her though she knew that i liked her. It was an important part of the relation as i often used to hepl her and we only use to spend time a little what we had in the office together. Next was understanding stage, we already knew about each other and now we started to exchange the ideas and our family background and the personal as wel. She had the past which i accepted and i had the some which she understood and we really gotr along. Every hour we use to call n chat to each other about something or the other, abourt work, family and friends.
Now started to have really have connection with each other as we wanted to know what other person is doing and we now started to have some arguments but the sweet ones. By now we started to make plans on off days and we often use to go movies or shopping. We really started to understand each other personally. It was the happy stage of our relationship. We shared similar caring and loving relation between us. She liked my helping nature and i lliked her outgoing and sweet personality.
We came from different culture and religion but shared a same values. We both had a very difficult childhood so we got along nicely i believe. I had a chance to meet her brother and mother and they also got along very well with me but they did not knew that we were in a relationship.
We never had a lot of expectations from each other other than small fights between us. We had a wonderful time together and i will never going to forget the time that we have spend together.
Now comes to relationship the communication shuld be direct and simple as possible. Whatever we want to express we should express it openly and clearly. Understanding is key in any relationship.
