Sometimes we can look back at the beginnings of our relationships and wonder if we truly got to actually date each other. Peer pressure, hormones, everything can really speed up our relationships and leave us forgetting about the old ways of courtship. Where we courted our prospective love interest with gifts, affection and wide eyed love. Where has that concept gone? The intrusion of alcohol plays a big part in the formation of some relationships and we are left scratching our heads wondering what just happened. My gift to my taane for June is date month. As it is Matariki which is our Maori New Year, it's a new years resolution that I want to instill in my relationship. To start this New Year in a way that reminds me why I fell in love with him in the first place. I love what he brings to my spirit and I love the way I feel happy when we are together, that I feel we need to take it back to that as often as possible.
I feel myself often moving into selfish mode, where I restrict him of my affection because my inability to take crap. I am fussy about quality and my relationship is no different. I look forward to updating you all on my date nights.
