When entering into a new relationship and throughout the course of a relationship (since our expectations often change over time!), talk about whether you want a relationship that is:

1. Committed or non-committed?
Do you want a commitment such as marriage, long-term dating, raising children, sharing finances, and/or sharing a home, or do you want a less committed dating relationship?
2. Friendly or Romantic?
Do you want a relationship that is based on friendship, or do you prefer a romantic, emotionally intimate relationship?
3. Sexual or non-sexual?
Do you expect that you will want to have sex with this person? If you do, are there some sexual activities you want to do and others you do not?
4.Monogamous or non-monogamous?
Do you want your relationship to be only with that person, so that you each have sex only with each other, or not, so that you and your partner have sex with other people?


Remember to explore each of those questions separately. All combinations are possible!
