Dear Kiara,
I hope you are doing well! With everything turning worse around us, I really hope you are taking good care of yourselves and your loved ones.
I’m writing to you today because I have so much to share with you. Actually, I have been dating this guy for some time, and now I feel like taking this dating situation to the next level. But I’m a bit confused with what to do and how to put it out there. Kiara, I really hope you help me with this!
Love,

Hello, Michelle!
Firstly, I am so happy to know that you are in that stage of your relationship where you can think of taking it to the next level. But yes, it does take a lot to get into a committed relationship. So, here is what you can consider before taking your next step.
#1. Be clear that you want this:
I think taking the next step in a relationship begins with you. In the first place, you need to take that time for yourself and decide if you really want that. While doing so, you will get the time to know your partner better and see to that if you can share about the way you think. Rushing into things might make your partner assume that you are not into something serious, so it would be great to rush into anything!
#2. Evaluate everything:
It is again about yourself. So, it would be helpful if you not allow your ego to play the game here! There are times when we think we want something that we do not actually want, and it becomes crucial to consider that it is not about winning a game. But it is definitely about winning a person’s heart.
#3. Try to Visualize:
Yes, it is equally necessary for you to Visualize how your life would be with the person. So, before putting it out, you should also know how it would look like with your partner. You need to try and picture this for yourself and then ask if this addition would enhance your life?
#4. Be ready for the changes:
As much as it sounds like a fairytale, your relationship will require you to make some adjustments too! So, to start with, you will have to ask yourself if you are ready for the changes. Are you ready to be part of their life? Because taking this relationship into a serious zone will ask for your contributions too. So, you will have to make sure that you like the person enough to make all tiny adjustments here and there.
#5. Communicate:
If you can tick the above checklist, then it is time to spill the beans! Look for communicating in a clear and direct manner. Tell your partner what you think about them and make them feel how you feel about them. You might be all clear in your head, but it is also necessary for your partner to feel the same way about you. Also, you need to make your partner realize that if they are not ready to invest in taking the relationship to the next level, then you are out of it.Â
