It happens to all of us.
We develop a crush on someone whom we assume feels the same electric shock of passion that we do.
But they don't.
It isn't until our hearts crumble like a dried out chocolate chip cookie that we realize we were in a Mono-lationship aka the only one in the relationship. So, when do you let the expectations taught to us by romantic comedies, fiction love stories and other's experiences play a role in your relationship?
I have learned three vital things through the tap dance recitals on my heart since my younger years:
1. Unless he/she lets you know they are in it to win it, they really aren't into you ( as cliche as it sounds)
2. Most people do not leave their emotional baggage behind so easily. If there is baggage, expect to help them carry it.
3. There really are plenty of fish in the oil-polluted sea.Grab your rod (no pun intended) and start fishing

The truth be told. Women tend to create the "automatic relationship". We start treating them as if they were our boyfriends before the discussion is even brought up. Awwe, the fun of dating and relationships. Key is communication, which most people lack in fear of being rejected. Bottom line, keep a few fish around, you never know when one needs to go back in the water.
