Let Your Intentions Be Known

People are always meeting others with hopes of starting relationships somewhere down the line. These relationships can vary from friendships to serious dating relationships. The question is what is it that each person wants and are their desires and intentions known to the other person.
I have a friend who recently got disappointed due to the lack of communication between her and a guy. They had been talking for some time, but they never really understood what they were or what was going on between them.
In the beginning stages no one wants to rush into anything so they may say something along the lines of "I don't want to be in a relationship right now". Well that right now doesn't mean that their mind wont change later. After a long period of time of hanging out and talking to each other, this guy pretty much met someone who seems to be of great importance. This is the problem, they didn't discuss their intentions more than once. Just because someone is not ready when you meet don't mean that they wont be after you hang out and get to know each other better.
Another situation that someone I know has come across is that they are interested in someone and from what they could tell that person also seemed to be very interested in them. But things seem to be backing off. Everything was all good in the beginning but like the previous situation it seems to be taking a turn. Now the question is up in the air on where they are going or if either one of them are actually considering being in a relationship.
It is important that we communicate with those that we have an increasing or decreasing interest in. If you have a change of heart let the person know so that if someone else does come into the picture, you wont get your feelings hurt and wonder what could have been had you actually opened up your mouth and told them how you feel.
I know that this blog probably isn't as intense as previous blogs but I feel that it is of great importance. I know that no one likes to get hurt, so keep a line of open communication. Its better to tell someone how you feel sooner than later. Especially when you are the one having a change of heart. Yeah it can hurt them at the moment depending on how they feel but if you told them you want to try to be with them then you change your mind to keeping them in the friend zone, even if you just have to drop a hint, let it be known. If you told them that you two were just friends but you catch yourself catching feelings then yeah its possible that you can end up being that one that is hurt but who is to say that this person didn't have a change of heart and may possibly feel the same way. You never know so let your intentions be known.
