I agree with you. Relationships are all about trust. If there is no trust, a good relationship can't be established.srm628 wrote:I think trust and commitment are definitely big parts to a good relationship. In order to have a good relationship, relationships require being about to trust the person and knowing they are going to come through on what they say.

I support this. Sometimes, we can not avoid to have negative impressions but we need to see the brighter nature of others. The next challenge is, how to sustain this newly established relationship.Aimy wrote:I try to be polite and welcoming. More importantly, I try to think positively about others and find the good in them. It keeps me calm on the inside and friendly on the outside.

Never fighting. Seriously. Disagreeing is inevitable, and hurt feelings happen--we talk through them. We speak up when something is bothering either of us.
But we keep treating each other like allies, even when we're hurting. When you started treating your partner like an opponent, trying to win by making them lose--then you've lost your relationship.

Trust is important but understanding and respect are also important. If someone is different or makes a mistake, knowing that this will not come between friends is a blessing. Being persecuted or blamed or belittled is a fear that most people have and being comfortable in a relationship gives you that person that you can talk to or go to when everyone else seems to be against you.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:Kitten Kailey and the little bunny Sammy are good friends despite the differences. The have an amazing relationship. How do you establish a good relationship? To keep a good relationship, I strive to keep the trust. Because trust is important in maintaining a good relationship.

I think we have the same case. I do not know how to start a conversation with strangers but I am a trustworthy and loyal friend.Amiinatu wrote:I don't know but I think am the worst when it comes to establishing new relationship not that am not jovial or anything, am just not good with new people but I keep the old ones really well

What people say is not limited to the words that come out of the mouth; language is crucial too. So while technology offers us the electronic means to reach out to others, the face-to-face encounter is always best, especially for our more treasured relationships.
I so agree with your first few statements! It's very important to be upfront about a situation if there's a misunderstanding. Over the years I've found, like you said, misunderstanding is the key factor in how a relationship develops.
But I differ about online relationships. I've never dated online, but my best friends have all started from online communication. I think it depends on if it's medium that works for you and the other person involved. Also on your comfort level, I share a lot of photos and events happening in my life with my friend in the UK to the point where we're even on speaking terms with each other's family members. It's all about who's using it and the individual's specific needs in a relationship. It works for some people, not at all for others.
