Am I Too Accommodating?

(Inspired by Dating Trooper's recent comment to Step #9 - Dating Deal Breakers.)

People who don't have any dating deal breakers may be too accommodating. Many people are so focused on finding a girlfriend/boyfriend that when they do finally meet someone, they become too accommodating in an effort to move the relationship forward quickly and without conflict. One should be considerate of their partner's interests and wishes without sacrificing their goals, aspirations, and dreams.

Being overly accommodating is a reason that a lot of relationships fail. If someone acts as a doormat, or makes their wishes subservient, the relationship is not viable. Eventually, a parasitic relationship leads to loss of respect, resent, and failure.

If having children or getting married is important to you, let your girlfriend/boyfriend know. When you are honest and up front with your dating goals, your girlfriend/boyfriend is aware of what you expect from the relationship in the future. It then becomes up to them to decide if they can (or want) to continue dating.
