Meeting a new date is always exciting because of the potential and possibility of finding the right person for us. In fact, often we want that new friendship to succeed so much, so anxious for it to be 'perfect', we are likely to try to control its development by slowling it down as much as possible, and 'taking things slowly' to prevent any hurt or comflict. But is that helpful? And does it enable greater knowledge of each other between the couple? Does it really avoid hurt?

This podcast explains why trying to control a relationship instead of lettng it develop spontaneously often loses us what we are actually seeking.
