Romance: The Betrayal: Romantic Suspense With A Bizarre Twist Read Online Free PDF Page B

dating. Just because you don't like certain things about a person during the early stages of your relationship doesn't mean that that person won't try to change once you have bonded.
    People who are in love try to accommodate each other and try to change for that special person. This is not to say that you or your partner should change into people that you aren't, but adjusting your behavior, or trying to make other changes to make your beloved happy isn't such a big deal, in most cases.
    The moral of the story here is to be patient. Just because you don't like something about a person in the early stages of your relationship doesn't mean that your disdain will carry on throughout the duration of the relationship. The person may turn out to be the finest person on the planet, which will cancel out any negative connotations you had about the person during the early stages of your relationship.
    My sister-in-law hated the way her husband acted at sporting events while they were dating so much, that she almost broke up with him. He was very obnoxious and loud, and was a distraction to the other fans. It turned out that her husband, who was her boyfriend at the time, hadn't realized that his extreme behavior bothered her. He thought that she enjoyed his enthusiasm and zest for sports.
    After learning that his girlfriend didn't enjoy his overzealous behavior at sporting events, he toned down his outbursts quite a bit once he learned that they embarrassed her. If there's something that you don't like about your potential partner, try talking to him or her about it rather than breaking up with them. Chances are, they haven't even realized the error of their ways, and may be happy to change their behavior for you.
    When my friend joined an online dating service, she assumed all her dating problems would be over. She was a self-proclaimed picky dater, and was certain that she would find someone who was perfectly suited to her high standards. She listed that she only wanted someone who was within 2 years of her own age and who lived only 3 miles from her home.
    Furthermore, her requirements mandated that all her dates have post-graduate degrees and that they all come from certain backgrounds. She wondered why, after six months, she only went on two dates. After adjusting her profile and changing her requirements, her dating situation brightened. She is now dating an older man who lives 20 miles away from her, who treats her like a princess. Had she not adjusted her parameters, she would not have found the true love of her life.
    I am a former picky dater, however, had I not changed my ways, I would have never met my husband. I had preconceived ideas on what I wanted my future husband to be. I didn't want to marry someone who was a sports nut, nor did I want to be married to someone who didn't know how to, or enjoy cooking. I've always envisioned my husband and I cooking gourmet meals together in our kitchen, enjoying interesting recipes that we saw on popular cooking shows. While on our first date, I realized that this person was not the man of my dreams.
    He was a sports fanatic, and to make matters worse, he didn't even know how to boil water. This was the ultimate turn-off, and if I hadn't already committed to going to a wedding with him the following week, I would have called it quits right then and there. The thought of going out on another date with him seemed like a waste of time, and I even toyed with the idea of feigning a cold so that I could get out of going to that wedding with him.
    I knew that faking a cold was not the right thing to do, so I hesitantly accompanied him to the wedding. There, I learned that although my date didn't know how to cook, he always wanted to learn how to. I also learned that the reason he devoted so much of his time to sports was because he didn't have a woman in his life to share other things with. With this knowledge in hand, I decided to hold off on my decision to break up with him, and give
