WRONG CUES
Oftentimes, we find youths of puberty age in
our community getting hooked up and they call it dating/courting. Most of these
couples don't start their relationship life the usual way which is a boy
approaching a girl to tell her he ' loves / likes ' her.... Some of these
relationships start when either of the boy or girl thinks he or she is getting
some cues from the opposite sex though it might be right or wrong.
Cues are actions or events that signals
somebody to do something and when conceptualizing it to the subject of dating
/courtship, we can say that cues are the actions that opposite sexes give
themselves telling one another to make a move towards the other.
These cues are initiators of actions that
tells the other person what to do or gives the other person hints on what to do
in friendship /relationship situations.
Cues being initiators of actions can either
be understood rightly or wrongly depending on the individuals involved. One
might think the opposite sex has ' interest ' when it is noticed that the
person is being caring, loving and affectionate towards him or her. Though in
some cases, it usually comes out to be true that the person has feelings for
the opposite sex involved and wants he or she to make a move.
The reverse is the case in most cases ; at
times, it turns out that the girl or boy is just being caring and compassionate
towards the other person for the sole reason of friendship or comradeship and
not for the purpose of getting into a '
romantic relationship ' with the individual.
Getting or identifying the correct cue is an
Herculean task for most youths as most of them thinks anyone giving you
attention wants to be with you and ' go down with you ' - LUST! It is not easy
to determine what the actions of the opposite sex means in stark contrast just
the same way it is bad and inappropriate to misjudge a friend's action for the
lusty thing *winks*
Let's just continue hooking up with good
people that love us and be careful when it comes to deciding what kind of cues one
is getting from the opposite sex.
Stay woke fellas! Peace!
