Can Networking damage a relationship?
I think that networking is a must, in any field, or career that you may be in. I feel that there is a fine line of course to the level of which the interactions are with any given person that you may come into contact with, be it male or female. I find that in my field, the majority of my interactions are with females, over 75%. I believe that although they are female and I may need their information for business purposes, the need for futher contact is not really needed. I think that you have to know your limits within your relationship, as well as the business world. Although there maybe several attractive persons that I do business with or come into contact with, the need to exchange personal information is not a necessity. I feel that any woman in their right minds would question the receipt of any other woman's phone number and or pictures. So with that I believe that it is good to be open about who you are involved with in business ventures and so forth. I feel that there should be a certain level of trust that 2 people have for one another. I think that there is no way possible for me to live in my everyday life and day to day responsibilities, if I am some how concerned with whom my woman is meeting, who she is networking with, or who is trying to take her from me. I feel that as long as I do all the things that are required of me as a boyfriend, within reason, than I would have to put my trust in her that she would not disrespect me in doing something out of line.

I feel that a relationship has to be completely open. You should be able to talk to this person about anything. The only time I would say a person would hold something back is if they have a mind on something or someone else, and that is a whole other matter in itself.

I think that a man gives signs as to the woman that he wants to spend the rest of his life with. He begins to make references to your futures together without being prompted to do so. He is more tolerable of things that that temporary boyfriends seem to get annoyed with. He also builds solid relationships with those people in your life whom you love the most. I feel the last comment is the most important. If a man can care less about those family members and friends whom you love so dearly, if he does not care to meet them, greet them, and make his presence known in your life as your man to them, then his long term thoughts with you, do not really exist.

These are just my opinions, take them for what you will. I am not a psychologist, just a young man in love, trying to do his best by the will and grace of God. I hope that this helps.
