The awkward period of love refers to the stage when two people first start dating. Because they don’t know each other well enough, some embarrassing and uncomfortable situations occur. This stage usually lasts for a while until both parties get to know each other and establish a more stable relationship.
1. Keep distance from each other
During the awkward period of love, both parties will feel a sense of distance. Because we don’t know each other well enough, we are not sure whether the other party treats us sincerely, so we will have a cautious attitude. This distancing behavior can cause communication between the two parties to become somewhat restricted and cramped.
For example, on a date, two people may choose to sit farther apart to avoid too close contact. They may choose to talk about lighthearted topics and avoid delving deeply into each other's inner lives. Such behavior creates a sense of alienation between each other.
2. Misunderstandings caused by trivial matters
During the awkward period of love, since both parties do not know each other well enough, it is easy for misunderstandings to arise over trivial matters. This is because the two parties have not yet established enough trust in each other's actions and words, so it is easy to guess the other party's intentions.
For example, when one person is a few minutes late, the other person may think that he does not value the agreement or feel that he is being ignored. In fact, it may just be late due to traffic jams or other reasons. If such small things cannot be communicated and explained in time, they will cause unnecessary misunderstandings between two people.
3. Don’t know how to express
During the awkward period of love, because both parties do not understand each other’s preferences and habits well enough, it is easy to not know how to express their emotions. This uncertainty makes communication between two people difficult.
For example, when giving a gift, a person may choose a gift that he thinks is good, but that does not meet the other person's preferences. Such a situation will make the other party feel confused and embarrassed, and at the same time, they will not be able to truly understand the other party's intentions.
4. Test each other
During the awkward period of love, both parties will try to understand each other's bottom line and principles. They will observe the other person's reaction through some small things to judge whether the other person is suitable for them.
For example, when dating, a person may deliberately bring up some controversial topics to test the other person's position and attitude. Such tentative behavior can make each other feel uncomfortable and awkward, while also increasing the tension between the two people.
5. Gradually becoming familiar with each other
Although there are some difficulties and discomforts in the awkward period of love, as time goes by, both parties will gradually become familiar with each other and establish a more stable relationship. . They will improve each other's understanding through getting along and communicating, thereby reducing embarrassment and misunderstandings.
For example, in the process of getting along, two people will find that they have something in common with each other.common points and hobbies, so as to find more topics for communication. They will also gradually learn how to express their emotions and understand each other better.
During the awkward period of love, both parties need patience and understanding. Only through mutual tolerance and communication can we gradually overcome embarrassment and discomfort and establish a more stable and healthy love relationship.
