Don't kid yourself,having sex IS a big thing and hence shouldn't be hurried into. While it is a physical act,it is not merely just physical. Emotions get mixed in the loop and if you're not ready to handle all that it comes with, you can end up very messed up. Sex and love may not always be one and the same and sometimes you end up going for it,thinking it's love or expecting the other person to love you more after,which isn't always the case. The worst part? You can't turn back.
Too many people use the "Maybe we should just break up" line every time they don't get their way. It's a terrible cheat and it shows that you don't respect the relationship enough that you're willing to use it for emotional black mail. Breaking up should be the last resort and only if you're absolutely sure the relationship is NOT what you wanted. Plus working through trouble spots instead giving up will only strengthen your relationship that much more.
We use the big L word pretty often these days- I LOVE those shoes,I LOVE Gossip Girl! The truth is,the L word is a pretty strong word and when used in a relationship can change the course of it. So I say WAIT! Wait till you're absolutely sure you've gone beyond infatuation to something more substantial. It's also best to get a feel of how the other person feels about you before you go blurting. Nothing hurts more than the silence you get after you've uttered those three words.
Rebound much? Don't go from one relationship into another.You don't allow for closure or for yourself to properly heal. Everyone loves having that someone special and sometimes we want so much to fill that void that we jump at the first sight of possibility. The problem is every time you put your heart out there,you run a risk of it getting hurt and if you keep making hasty decisions with your heart,you're going to need lots of band aids.
