1. Know or Judge what the other person needs: One of the key things to look at, if one doesn't become needy and clingy in the initial phase, is to be aware of how much you and your potential partner want to spend time together. That means having some sort of conversation directly or gradually observing your other half. Different people are different in terms of how much time they want to spend time together. It depends also lot on knowing where your relationship might be heading. Are you just a casual friend whom you are happy seeing once every 3 months? Are you more of a girlfriend and boyfriend who would like to spend time together initially to get to know each other? 

2. Know that your relationship will change:  Relationships can be like waves. Somebody would need more emotional support when they had a bad day at work, somebody died, got laid off, etc. While some people would like to spend more time when the crisis hits. Some would rather spend time alone. Relationships in the beginning can be like every waking moment I want to be with you to ok we have some trust and we are ok being a bit separate. Always see what other people want and listen to their needs.

3. Have a hobby, friends and life without that person:  It is very easy not to put someone on a pedestal if you have hit right off especially when you think that this person might be the One. Have a life without that person. Go for dinner or lunches alone or even in the Cinema. Yes alone. It might be boring but enjoying your own company is crucial. If you can't bear yourself how would others do? Also have different people in your life like friends, mentors, therapists, coaches and parents. Avoid one person to be everything of you. As you would be highly disappointed when you realise they aren't that great. It would also be very exhausting for them to be all of the people you need. 

4. Do not expect instant gratification:  People are busy despite it hardly takes a few minutes to answer a text. Some people find it very difficult to write a few things and sometimes get paralysed while communicating on apps, Twitter or Facebook. Wait for sufficient time before communicating again. Have a maximum number before you contact them. 

5. They aren't into you as much as you are: This is a hard truth sometimes you aren't their priority. Maybe it can be the wrong time in their life. They are just not that much into you. You can't please everyone. Sometimes people would not like someone for irrational reasons. You weren't tall enough, you reminded them of their ex....etc. There can be many reasons.

6. Don't take it personally: It can feel heartbreaking when anyone doesn't see you the same as you see them to be. Sometimes you hit it and both are the same wavelength and later it fizzles off. They realise something about you wasn't their value. They think they wouldn't fit in your world. You both are in different worlds. It is best to do as much to keep in touch but be detached from the outcome. 


Firstly this generation means Millennials. Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.


I love being Millennial. Reason being we are simply cool ! 


We think about #YOLO and #selfies but at the same time we are pioneers in living a different world. 



Globalization v/s Nationalist  :  With cheap flights , internet and Skype being dirt cheap we can communicate with anyone within seconds. We are not only buying Chinese socks and German cars but we are also going to Beer Fest and knowing what is our Chinese Animal Sign.  While our previous generation had seen wars and cold wars we are real peacekeepers and understand bigger problems which are terrorist , environment, poverty,etc. which are no longer only one country problem.



Culture Exchange : Through easy movement of people, from our previous generation we are open to culture exchange and cross cultural exchange despite it does create lots of problems of it's own. It is indeed common to have different viewpoints and several point of views on same subject.


Collaboration at work place :   It is very common that people from different culture, race and gender work together hand in hand in various different work industry whether it is science, education, technology or medical. The collaboration helps to solve several problems.

Greater Understanding and Empathy : Due to proximity in distance and also intellectually it has made it possible for everyone to understand each other's perspective, position or circumstances.  Internet helps us to debate, argue, rectify and come to good conclusion about past. Sometimes there has been heinous and most tragic incidence has happened. Despite our generation hasn't incurred or witnessed this there is definitely associated guilt and associated pain.

Cross Cultural Friends and Families :  It is no longer understanding a person from another foreign country in far far land. There is a greater understanding as people who come from foreign country sometimes are the ones your friends and families whom you are married or spending most of your time with.


Identity Crisis : With so much connectivity and information there is a problem of identity crisis. How much do you adapt or not adapt in this diversity while being good human or good global citizen?  

Era of Social Media :  Our previous generations got their information on TV and told them what to think or who you are. Current generation is - let me tell you who I am and we have several ways to inform people about our opinions and our views whether it is social media,etc...etc... When our last generation thought that same knowledge and opportunities aren't given to everyone today with helps of google and facebook more open and easy communication has been among everybody.  

Greater Understanding leads to Greater Soul Searching : When our last generation celebrated war heroes. Our current and next generations would celebrate social entrepreneurs, philanthropist and peacekeepers. Our generation has been looking ways in which social justice is at forefront as there is in some ways understanding of previous mistakes.
