You might want to re-evaluate what you label a "relationhip". If you barely know this person, is it really a "relationship"?

Because feelings are exciting! Jumping into a relationship quickly can sometimes be scary and reckless but it doesn't have to end badly. Relationships, no matter how long you've known the person, are all about trying to be happier. If people think maybe they can make each other happy they often try .

I believe we are always in the process of finding out if a determined person is "the right one" and most of the times it's venturing on a relationship where we find so many "unknown" factors that we truly start to understand our partner without so many misconceptions.

We get our hopes up and/or we think the stuff we do know about them will say something about the rest of them.

Sometimes we just need that attention we strive for, and for someone to care about us. Humans are already full of emotions and need others to feel protected and loved. It's crazy because some people can date others they barely know just to feel affection.

There are many reasons to go into a relationship with somebody you do not know well. Some people require companionship and support regardless of compatibility, others are codependent, some just do not want to be alone. As humans, we require companionship and it is often easy to relax your standards in order to get it.

In my experience, my life was not fulfilled. I needed excitement, that rush of "Oh, someone is interested in me" then I started making plans for my life and didn't need a man to make it interesting. I recommend that you ask what you want out of life

There could be multiple reasons for this but the most common reason is that we crave the love, comfort and the appreciation of others. To feel like we're needed and special. Most of all, to feel like we're not alone.

There are many things that draw us into relationships, despite if we know the opposite person only a little, or a lot! Forming relationships is essential in pursuing a productive and effective lifestyle; it happens natural, each and every day. Its okay to engage with those that we appreciate, that acknowledge us, that understand and lend a helping hand; its important to be cautious and rational as well; trust is a significant aspect when it comes to relationships; we find things in others that we like, that we admire, that we commend and idol; relationships are born instantaneously sometimes, and flourish into bigger and better moments; be positive and open, accepting and courageous; other have a lot to offer: insight, perspective, and many other truths.
