1. Explain the qualities that help people develop intimate relationships.
Qualities that help people develop intimate relationships include being able to share ideas, feelings, time and needs and to accept what others want to give us in return. Being able to share these qualities equate to having communication. Communication is key in any relationship. It takes two to make a relationship work, therefore when the relationship is only a one-way scenario, things are bound to fall apart. Rather than a relationship that is a two way, meaning going back and forth between the two persons. When we do not share ideas, feelings, times and reject what the other person has to say, give or needs things are bound to fall apart.

Though similar in the same areas, such as respect, trust, having things in common, giving and taking from one another, the level expected from one another differs when in an intimate relationship. Wanting time from a friend, is not the same as when wanting time from an intimate partner and being rejected. I learned this through person experience after being a seven-year relationship. Till this day I have friends that I have had almost my entire life, about 15 years which I consider to be my best friends. When I first got into my past relationship feelings were the same, mine towards my friends and mine towards the person I was in a relationship. As time passed, I wanted and expected more and more out of that person, and when I was not getting the time I felt I wanted or needed I felt rejected. On the other hand, when I could not give or get that time with my best friends, I did not feel that way. When you are in an intimate relationship, you’re bound to want more and see more in that specific person, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We all have expectations, and being that we expect to grow with this person and share a life with this person, we all want to be on the same page together to have a successful relationship, to reach future goals
