Lines: 22 In reading the responses so far, I agree with the consensus that honesty (without insensitivity) is an important requirement in a relationship for (hopefully, mutual) growth in that relationship. I also believe that a little gentle persuasion might also act as a good shot in the arm. Although I haven't had any long-lasting relationships with MOTOS, I've always appreciated experiencing new things in them. Everybody gets into a rut once in a while, and I think it would greatly help a relationship if the persons involved came up with new ideas (for things to do in their free time, conversation topics, or whatever) when they thought of them. Even though every date can't be a first-run show (given the fact that the 2 people don't have EXACTLY the same tastes and interests), a little variety can add lots of life and enjoyment to the relationship. I guess this argument can be added to the list of sub-topics for honesty in a relationship, but I want to emphasize the importance of COMMUNICATION for growth in the relationship. I think it can work wonders for both parties involved. Trying to communicate better, Bob Paveleck ihldt!paveleck
