By nature, we women are more concerned about stability and whether or not a relationship has a future than men are. I guess, partly this is due to our innate desire to have a secure environment for offspring, but I suspect there is also a social cause.
Why Women Worry About Where a Relationship is Going
Unlike men, who can still ensnare attractive young women at the ripe old age of 87 and beyond, women are aware that attractiveness (along with their ability to have a family) is lost with the advancing years. Therefore, we feel a sense of urgency that men don’t really experience. In other words, we want to know that we’re not wasting our precious time in a relationship that’s not going anywhere.
Unfortunately, this causes us to ask questions of our lovers that will send them running in the opposite direction. For many men, the scariest words in the English language are, “so where do you think this is going?” This kind of question will put him on the defensive and could potentially ruin an otherwise great relationship. Now, I’m not suggesting that women don’t find out where they stand, but I do think we have to be smarter about how we broach the subject of the future.
