But I couldn\u2019t force myself to have the talk. That is one of the things I ended up regretting the most. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n El tiempo se me pas\u00f3 volando mientras retrasaba la charla y \u00e9l se fue volando de mi vida como alguien que significaba el mundo para m\u00ed, aunque nunca supe si era enteramente m\u00edo.<\/p>\n Ca\u00ed en la trampa de una casi relaci\u00f3n de la que nunca quise formar parte.<\/p>\n Siempre quise la coherencia y la estabilidad que proporciona una relaci\u00f3n comprometida.<\/p>\n Ten\u00eda tanto miedo de lo que pudiera decir, ten\u00eda miedo de perderle a \u00e9l y todo lo que ten\u00edamos.<\/p>\n Guess what? I lost him anyway, the only difference being that it hurt so much more when he left than it would have if we\u2019d had the talk in the beginning.<\/p>\n As\u00ed tuvimos la oportunidad de crear recuerdos, compartir momentos inolvidables que duelen mucho m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n Sus besos quedaron impresos en mi piel, echaba de menos su olor en mis s\u00e1banas antes de dormirme, echaba de menos nuestras peque\u00f1as charlas, le echaba de menos, nos echaba de menos.<\/p>\n I was broken regardless of any labels but from this perspective, now that is all behind me, I wish I had confronted him and asked him, \u201cWhat are we?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n It wouldn\u2019t have made any difference to my brokenness but it would have made a difference to my mind.<\/p>\n El tiempo que compartimos habr\u00eda sido mejor si hubiera sabido que era su novia.<\/p>\n Su ausencia me habr\u00eda dolido menos si hubiera sabido a qu\u00e9 atenerme desde el principio.<\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t have lost my energy, my time or my emotions on someone who had no intention of staying.<\/p>\n Comet\u00ed un error al no aclarar las cosas con \u00e9l desde el principio.<\/p>\n Lo positivo es que nunca volv\u00ed a repetir ese error y estoy aqu\u00ed para ayudarte a que t\u00fa tampoco lo cometas.<\/p>\n Before you can ask, \u201cWhat are we?\u201d make sure you have covered all the basics.<\/strong><\/p>\n You can\u2019t ask a man you barely know to label your relationship. There has to be a certain dating period. But never allow it to last too long.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t rush the conversation and before you have the talk make sure you are on the same page and want the same things.<\/p>\n \u00bfC\u00f3mo hacerlo? \u00bfC\u00f3mo saber que quiere ser tu novio? <\/strong><\/p>\n Habr\u00e1 algunas se\u00f1ales evidentes, s\u00f3lo hay que saber leerlas: <\/strong><\/p>\n Siempre sac\u00e1is tiempo el uno para el otro, mucho m\u00e1s que para otras personas.<\/p>\n No importa lo ocupado que est\u00e9s ni lo que tengas entre manos, algo le atrae hacia ti y a ti hacia \u00e9l.<\/p>\n Hoy en d\u00eda, las redes sociales lo dicen todo.<\/p>\n If he is the type of guy who posts a lot on his social media accounts and he doesn\u2019t mind posting a photo with you, it\u2019s a good sign he is ready for the next step.<\/p>\n Al hacer eso, est\u00e1 haciendo saber a otras mujeres que tiene algo entre manos y que est\u00e1 fuera del mercado.<\/p>\n La qu\u00edmica entre vosotros es tan fuerte que los dem\u00e1s tambi\u00e9n la perciben. Se dan cuenta de que sois algo m\u00e1s que amigos.<\/p>\n Also, if he gets confused when introducing you to other people, it\u2019s a good sign to have the talk and see if you are at least headed toward the same goal.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t spend time together, you at least text, Snapchat or call one another. Keeping in touch is very important to both of you.<\/p>\n If he doesn\u2019t allow a day to go by without hearing from you, he is letting you know that he is already hooked.<\/p>\n You make plans together and they can be short-term or long-term but the important thing is he doesn\u2019t run away from them.<\/p>\n Quiere hacerte saber que eres una parte importante de sus planes de futuro, por min\u00fasculos que parezcan.<\/p>\n Of course, you won\u2019t skip the other steps and meet each other\u2019s parents right away but friends are a must.<\/p>\n If you know each other’s friends, or at least his friends know of you and send you their hellos when they speak to him, you are somebody important in his life.<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 hacer si no hace nada de lo anterior? <\/em><\/strong> Habla con \u00e9l de todos modos. No hay nada que temer.<\/p>\n If this is a guy you\u2019ve been dating for a while and he is sending you mixed signals and driving you nuts with them, put your mind at peace and simply ask him, \u201cWhat are we?\u201d<\/p>\n Sea cual sea su respuesta, es mejor saberlo que no saberlo.<\/p>\n Si lo \u00fanico que te impide hacer la pregunta que quieres hacer es tu miedo a perderle, preg\u00fantate si hay algo que perder y si esto que ten\u00e9is entre manos va por buen camino.<\/p>\n Conf\u00eda en tu instinto. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n En el fondo, ya sabes cu\u00e1l ser\u00e1 su respuesta; la \u00fanica cuesti\u00f3n es si es algo que quieres o\u00edr o no.<\/p>\n If his answer is something you don\u2019t want to hear, ask it anyway.<\/p>\n Mantener una relaci\u00f3n espor\u00e1dica cuando lo que quieres es una relaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s comprometida tampoco es la soluci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n You will only accumulate dissatisfaction and you won\u2019t be happy if the situation remains unchanged. So, there is no reason to stay.<\/p>\n Por otro lado, si su respuesta es algo que quieres o\u00edr, qu\u00e9 raz\u00f3n m\u00e1s necesitas para simplemente hacer la pregunta y saber a ciencia cierta a qu\u00e9 atenerte.<\/p>\n El momento oportuno lo es todo. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Si le haces la pregunta demasiado pronto, puedes ahuyentarle porque tendr\u00e1 la impresi\u00f3n de que le est\u00e1s pidiendo demasiado demasiado pronto.<\/p>\n Elegir el momento adecuado para tener la charla es tan importante, si no m\u00e1s, que lo que tienes que decir.<\/p>\n Give it a while and let everything develop naturally and if it doesn\u2019t, give it a little push. You won\u2019t be waiting around forever once you know.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to talk,\u201d is the worst conversation starter ever.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Esas palabras pulsan inmediatamente el bot\u00f3n del p\u00e1nico en la mente masculina y se muestra ansioso por lo que tienes que decir.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy enough for guys these days to freak out and pull away\u2014 they don\u2019t need any extra help.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to talk,\u201d creates a negative atmosphere and adds to the pressure of the whole situation. Avoid it at all costs.<\/p>\n \u00bfQui\u00e9n dice que esta conversaci\u00f3n tiene que ser seria? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n La mayor\u00eda de la gente espera una conversaci\u00f3n seria, en la que una parte exponga todos sus deseos y exigencias y la otra manifieste c\u00f3mo se siente al respecto.<\/p>\n Eso es un poco aburrido, presiona a las dos partes implicadas y es totalmente innecesario.<\/p>\n It would be so much better if you wrapped it up as something funny with a serious note\u2014e.g. \u201cWill we couple up or is this fabulous ass of mine still on the market?\u201d or, \u201cI want to know where we stand so I can tell all the boys lined up at my front door to buzz off or try harder; it\u2019s up to you.\u201d<\/p>\n S\u00e9 creativo e imaginativo, seguro que hay un mont\u00f3n de cosas que se te pasar\u00e1n por la cabeza o surgir\u00e1n de una conversaci\u00f3n pasada que te har\u00e1n decir las palabras adecuadas.<\/p>\n A simple, \u201cWhat are we?\u201d in a casual and laid-back context will have a greater impact than a forced conversation between the two of you, where you are nervous and pronouncing all the words wrong.<\/p>\n Dicho esto, hay una cosa m\u00e1s que tienes que hacer y es asegurarte de que ambos est\u00e1is sobrios mientras manten\u00e9is la conversaci\u00f3n. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Vale, quiz\u00e1 una copa para relajarte, pero ni un sorbo m\u00e1s. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Retrasar la conversaci\u00f3n sobre tu estado sentimental es uno de tus pensamientos constantes y, si has bebido uno o dos sorbos de m\u00e1s, puede que digas todo lo que quieres decir pero de la forma equivocada.<\/p>\n Words will just come out wrong, you will say some things you don\u2019t mean, he will follow your lead and everything will turn into one big chaotic mess.<\/p>\n Simplemente evita beber con \u00e9l hasta que sepas en qu\u00e9 punto est\u00e1is.<\/p>\n Whatever you do, don\u2019t even think about texting him about it\u2014have the talk in person. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s easier to look for an escape from a difficult conversation by hiding behind a screen.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easier to text than to talk face-to-face. It\u2019s easier but it\u2019s not the best option.<\/p>\n Texting won\u2019t give you insight into the whole situation.<\/p>\n You won\u2019t be able to see his face, monitor his body movement or hear the sound of his voice when he gives you the answer.<\/p>\n Algo se pierde entre las l\u00edneas escritas y nunca puede sustituir a una conversaci\u00f3n real entre dos personas.<\/p>\n Se pierde el v\u00ednculo que os une y esa sensaci\u00f3n de intimidad cuando os mand\u00e1is mensajes.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pensive-young-beautiful-woman-drinking-coffee.jpg\")
