After riding for 2 and half hours we still had stuff to talk about. Amazing. So I continued to call and meet her out or invite her to come with me places. The boring details I won't go in to. Then it happened the seminal moment in our relationship. A friend of Kelly's family, who just so happened to be a pledge, came up to me and Kelly at the bid party. I rolled the dice not knowing that they already knew each other, I introduced Kelly as my girlfriend. Yeah, it was brash and the awkward moment followed as soon as the tool of my announcement walked away. Instead of asking her I simply stated what was happening.
Practical application.... Take a prospect to the limit. Announce your intentions and be clear about what the relationship is before you are too deep. I prefer not to waste time with beating around the bush. I also prefer to know the answer before I ask a relationship question. I admit I do not know everything so I ask informational questions but once I get a read on the situation it is time to fish or cut bait. Are you "hanging out" with too many people or are you announcing/protecting your current relationships.
This is my Girlfriend......
