I agree with Cynderella and Kartagane about the courtesy thing. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I vision some guy dressed up in a medieval sword-fighter costume, saying Shakespeare stuff to me. I mean I want to be treated POLITELY, but that is hard to come by, these days.

Another thread on here got me to thinking about expectations. I am thinking beyond simply: What do you "expect" from a partner?

Well, what do you expect?

But also how do you think expectations change as the relationship changes?

I think they do change and that they should start out very small until we know each other well enough to communicate about what our expectations are & try to make sure we keep them "fair"


is it possible to have a relationship with "no expectations?"
