I've asked questions on relationships, I'm sure we all have, or we've at least tried to answer some of these questions.
But the seemingly endless flow of repeated and odd questions in the singles and dating category is astonishing!
With Valentine's Day fever everywhere, we all lose some of our cowardice, and take the big leap, we ask someone out. But, why, why are we so afraid of other people, and their reactions?
There are many stereotypical answers to this question, but what is YOUR personal opinion on it?

I have been in relationships and there are times, delicate times, when a small move may save the relationship, or lack of move, breaks the relationship. If an experienced soul, just gives the hint, the relationship is saved.
Yes, we are afraid that relationships sometimes break for a trivial reason, and sometimes are strengthened for a trivial reason. Our life (boat) gets stuck either on this river bank or the other. a little push at the right time, ensures the boat has a safe and sound journey, and reaches its destination, safe and sound.
I thank all the experienced souls, who have given geniune advise, and saved a relationship.

We all have fear. It's fear that keeps us from harming ourselves and other people. We're afraid of people and their reaction when asking or offering romantic relationships, to me, because :
We may be rejected and that's hurt.
It's risky, for you may lose his/her respect or even the friendship.
It's really painful if you find out she/he's already in love with someone else.
She/He can possibly tease you.
And there ,eventually, are endless reasons, and mostly due to the fear that you or other people be inflicted wounds you aren't take.

Instinctively, we all feel the truth of a certain proverb in the Bible that says it's better to communicate about a difficulty or a certain plan of action, than not.
That's what makes us different from the animals, who don't question things or wonder things, or work on the input of others.
