During the beginning of a typical relationship, it's common to come to agreements and understandings when it comes to the basics of your partnership. Though conversations and effective communication, you'll learn if you are intellectually and emotionally compatible, according to communication coach Preston Ni in his article "7 Keys to Long-Term Relationship Success" on the Psychology Today website.

Some described holding hands, family introductions, going on trips together, cuddling by the fire, and even having sex, as friendship. Others categorised those exact behaviours as romantic. But they were hesitant about getting romantically involved. Heather told one friend at work that she was dating Alex, but they waited a few months before disclosing their status to HR.
Eventually, though, they were upfront with HR in part because they were at different levels of the organization and wanted to do it before any conflicts of interest arose. What should we do? Once they had that support, Heather told her boss and a few other colleagues.
We kept working hard and rose above it. We would go out for coffee, but we always met by the elevator. Heather left the company about nine months into their relationship for unrelated reasons, and she and Alex wed several years later.
While they no longer work together, they are still happily married. After getting to know one another over several months, the two women started dating. I thought it would look really bad to my team if they knew I was dating someone who was at the same level as them.
They chose to keep their relationship a secret. It felt like going back in the closet. They dated for close to a year and were able to keep the secret that whole time. Becca feels like the secrecy ultimately broke them up.
While Becca and Meryl remain friends, Becca says that the whole experience has made her want to steer clear from having another relationship at work.
