Relationships: How to avoid rushing into intimacy

Imagine going out to an expensive restaurant with someone you really like. The ambience is fantastic and it promises to be an amazing evening. Your date says he’d like to order for both of you and has a brief conversation with the waiter. You’re thinking secretly that you like his confidence!

When you later ask him what he ordered, he says that he asked for all four courses to be blended together. I mean who’s got the time to wait for each course separately, right? You’re sure he must be joking but sure enough when the food comes, there is your dinner all in one bowl with a straw. He proudly tells you that the unappetising green and orange suspension includes French-onion soup, Romaine salad, pork chops, sukuma wiki, and mango ice cream. Bon appetite!  More like ‘yuck!’
