I think many of the troubled relationships have one party that is too much of a "Giver" and the other too much of a "Taker".

And similarly, when dating, there can be difficulty in getting a "Pursuer" and a "Distancer" to reach the next level.

Sleeping or pondering long on some detailed information is the best. It allows your emotions to settle and for you to talk next using a level head.
