Intimacy is, basically, a connection. It starts with self before it can be experienced with another human. You must be able to feel…feel emotions, warning signs, and attractions. You cannot set a boundary if you are not aware of what is happening. You must be able to feel.
If you are single, determine what you want in a relationship. Be intimate with the person that meets the criteria for the type of person you want to be with. 9 times out of 10, the people we find interesting, sexy, and fun typically are not the person for a long lasting relationship. Do not try to be the fixer upper. Overlook potential. You should not have to build up a man to be who you want them to be.
If you have already found someone, hold on to your individuality. Still be your own unique person. Take time apart from your partner, whether it is time in different cities or time in different rooms of the house. Time apart makes the heart grow fonder. Also, if you are already having difficulties with intimacy in the beginning, then it will only get worse. Do not think otherwise! With that being said, if things we great in the beginning but has now become a problem, then find different ways to spark the intimacy again.
