Timing is everything

If you want to be in happy relationship, there's a lot you can do to control that outcome. Unfortunately, you cannot control everything. For example, you can't control your partner- what they want or how they feel. We've all heard the phrase "timing is everything," but what does this mean exactly?

This refers to circumstances in your relationship, what the two people within the relationship want at this specific time. For example, my roommate is moving to New York at the end of May, but her boyfriend of 2 years is moving to D.C. Though they want to be together, the timing is not right for their relationship because they both want different things right now.

After dating many different boys for the past 7 years, it is my firm belief, based on observation, that all things being equal, timing is the most important ingredient to determining your relationships potential. When you're walking on campus and you see couples around you, if you ever wonder why those 2 people are together, the most important reason is they met and started dating when the timing was right for both of them.
