A Word From Mario & Diane
Indecision. The word is often defined as "a wavering between two or more possible courses of action." However, as benign as it may sound, we really look at "indecision" as an affliction. Why? Because if we never confront it, it can be paralyzing.
One of our daughters readily admits that she has the hardest time making the simplest decisions. It's been one of her personal traits since her early days. If you ever eat out with her (or worst...wait to her) you'll know what we mean... The restaurant menus just offer tooooo many possibilities!
"Can I have a few more minutes? I really don't know what to have..."
Over the years it's become a running joke in the family. Of course "indecision" in that context is not harmful. It's either just testing your patience as an accompanying guest or... make you starve to death before she can finally make up her mind!
But as we said above, in the context of a sentimental relationship, it can be paralyzing. It can stop you from taking the necessary decisions needed to be with the right person. We see this a lot. In fact, the single most question we get from indecisive people and their relationship is this one:
How can I be sure if he or she is the one for me?
Well, the plain truth is, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE SURE! Although SURE does not always equate to error-free... And there will be bumps on the road whether he turns out to be Mr. Right or not. It's just the way it goes.
Sadly though, too many of us get blind folded in a relationship. We get stuck too long in the infatuation phase and we simply refuse to look at the signs that are ALWAYS there for us to see IF... we are willing. For that reason, if you are of the "unsure" type and are afflicted by "indecision," not knowing if he or she is The One, we hope the Top 2 advice we share below will keep it simple enough for you and will help you move forward with confidence.
