Perils of piecing - thread 8

[Ready2Change]

When we were headed on vacation, I made a point to ask each person what was important to them. I would express what was important to me. We all then had to be accommodating.


I think it is the same in a relationship. Ask a few simple questions. Listen to understand the other person. Express your needs. Listen to see if they understand.

W:"Would you like to spend time with me this weekend?"
H:"bla bla bla"

Translate his answer to Yes or no. Respond accordingly:
Yes(Keep probing): " What sounds fun to you?"
No(have an idea what you want) " " I think I will go to the beach. You are welcome to join me if you change your mind"
