Making romance work!

You're still reeling from your last romance, but this new guy seems so special. Should you take a risk?

Before you even let yourself get excited at the prospect of a new romance, figure out who the hell this guy is. Do it by watching him carefully and by asking him questions.

Get to know his attitudes and history and let him get to know you. The longer you hold off on sex, the better.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Arlene Kagle offers this metaphor; "walk in the way you'd walk into Bosnia. There are land mines here and you don't want to step on them. Take a step" Don't see him every night after you first met and if that works out, take another half-step."
If you start to feel addicted,talk to your friends. Pull back.
