My question is similar to the OP’s. How do you increase a connection while in a relationship?
Like Chase said, after deep-diving, inspiring, and escalating on the girl, I have a really good grasp about who she is. If the connection is good, my attraction for her hovers about the same level. In the relationship I’m in now, conversations are around the same topics that brought us together in the first place. The only time when I use deep-diving if she brings up a topic bothering her (that’s serious to the relationship) or something interesting.
I’m in my first exclusive relationship and feel like there is more work to do after connecting, having sex, and setting relationship boundaries (once she pushes for it). I followed Chase’s advice for linearly investing in the girl as time passes. Currently, I’ve been seeing the girl for 4 months with 3 months dating and 1 month being public/exclusive.
