Episode 196: The fundamental romantic misunderstanding

The fundamental romantic misunderstanding is the misunderstanding that tends to trip people up most often in the context of their romantic relationships. Very simply: it is the state in which one’s attraction due to circumstances has been mistaken for one’s attraction to a specific individual. This basically happens when you positively respond to the circumstances around a person, as opposed to the person himself or herself. I’ll discuss why this is a problem, and what to do about it in today’s episode. #romance #dating #relationships
