Before taking the Plunge
If you have been toying with the idea of getting into a relationship with the person you consider to be the one for you, then you should stop and give it a very serious thought. It is nice, a good feeling in fact, when you are close to this person, when you are suddenly reminded of him or her. When you are throwing signs that you wished to become a part of a new love, part of a new person. Most times we leap into a relationship without giving it much thought, and in this process we tend to lose out on some very important aspects, which then could lead to heartbreak. Consider these ten points before getting into a relationship.Image Courtesy: gettyimages.in
Question Yourself
This is very important so that you are clear about what you really want. Do not be misguided because your body is acting differently and you are thinking about him or her all the time. Do not be so smitten with your first kiss, just be sure of what you want at first. Can you handle a relationship at this moment? Do you have the courage to take this forward and go on till the end?

How Honest can you be?
Honesty is the bed rock of all relationships, this is what builds trust. Therefore, you should be able to be honest with the person with whom you are thinking of starting a relationship. If you have told him or her any lie, then you must come clean and say what the truth is. Do not ever start a relationship based on lies, no matter how white those lies are.
