Document Summary
Attraction theory: 6 factors that try to explain why we are drawn to some people and not others, attractiveness, physically. Don"t just date someone because they have money: emotionally- they are there for us emotionally, stick by our side through the good and bad, hear you out and remember dates, treat you well emotionally available. A lot of relationships form when we are emotionally needy, in a bad emotional place, have gone through a tragedy: we set ourselves up for emotional connections = keep emotions in check, physically. Physical with someone early on in relationship clouds relationship and messes the relationship up, don"t realize all the other qualities they may or may not have, more often times not have. Wait to see if you actually like that person before going further. Social exchange theory: all of our relationships are simply a math equation revolving around rewards, quantifying relationships with rewards, cost is a quant, r-c=p.
