Q

Why do most relationships end in the Experimenting stage? Why does this make sense in relation to what the experimenting stage is?

A

Most relationships end in the experimenting stage due to:

  - Lack of common interest
  - Not wanting to put in the effort
  - Do not see the relationship going further

This makes sense because:
-You find more information about the other person and you analyze the relationship with each new information you receive.
