4. Share Personal Feelings
Only solid friendships survive time to enter the fourth level of
communication. After building upon trust, finding things in common, and
listening to the viewpoints and opinions of others, you may be able to (safely)
share your personal feelings.
This is where an acquaintance becomes a genuine friend. You know that
despite having differing opinions and viewpoints you can trust your friend’s
judgment, and that you may even go to them for advice.
At this level, things of deep value to you can be shared without feeling
threatened. You listen closely to each other without the need to “solve” your
friend’s problem. You are happy to reflect their feelings back to them –
forming a bond of empathy and compassion between the two of you.
At this level of communication, it is important that you provide a little
distance between yourself and your friend. If the distinction between yourself
and your friend becomes unrecognizable, it is possible for your relationship to
go sour. If you know how to handle your own feelings, attitudes and
behaviors, while maintaining your friendship at this level, you will build a successful friendship that can last a
lifetime.
By using these four levels of communication with prospective dates, and while on dates, you will find that they will
become interested in you, and want to get to know you all the more.
