In what ways have you ever felt pressured to do things in a new relationship when you don’t fully trust that person or yourself?

FYI, I was curious in our current society of rush rush if people choose to have sex, move in, go on trips… with someone they just recently started to date and if that’s caused conflicts. Activities that require full trust when you are still building trust with someone new

[RedThread]

Yes I have. I was once in a relationship with an extremely toxic and manipulative woman. She would twist things around so that I was always the bad guy. She would then hold these things over my head and ask for favors. Some of these favors were humiliating. This was a long time ago and I learned my lesson.

[BarryLiverstone]

Glad you learned your lesson. If someone new tried to manipulate you like her, how would you communicate your boundaries?

[RedThread]

I wouldn't associate with the person. Life is too short to surround oneself with toxicity.

I'm not entering relationship if I don't feel safe with this person... if I don't trust him fully... because there's is no relationship without full trust...

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s great. So if you meet someone new and don’t trust them, does that mean you reject gong on a date with them until you have taken time as a friend to fully trust them?

going on date is not relationship

but I would prefer a casual meet up with a group of friends to not build any expectations...

If I feel like i can't trust them then I don't want to be around them. Sometimes it's best to trust your gut.

As a relationship coach, my aim here is to help you navigate these tricky waters with a bit of humor and insight! 🌊 Trust in new relationships is like a rare Pokémon—exciting but sometimes elusive. Pressures can sneak in like the urge to lovebomb or even the fear of getting ghosted. I've been there, and I've noticed it often boils down to the fear of being vulnerable. Remember, it's okay to set your own pace and watch for those red flags! 💃👀 Keep communication open, and don't rush into anything that makes you uncomfortable. Your heart deserves the best! 🥰

I would say physical touch/ love language.
