Falling in love is the most exciting time of a person's life. The early stages of a relationship are filled with passion, discovery, fear and hope. Love is a heady drug that can be as euphoric or devastating as any illegal substance you may try (I hear). Using that metaphor, it can also distort the way you see, think and feel. It is important to remember that the real substance of a relationship, the real test, is during the hangover, it is then when you can see things more clearly. (It generally coincides with you and your partner's willingness to pass gas in front of each other.)
The most important point I make in this lesson - Part I if you will - is to not make any major decisions before you emerge from the "love haze". Moving in, engagements, financial commitments...this all should wait until you are able to see and think clearly.
