From the different perspectives of a relationship the definition of "being vulnerable" differs wildly, so lets clarify it for the other side - shall we ?!

 

Girls; what things do you consider as being vulnerable yourself in a relationship ? What do you want/need to see from the guy to know you're being Mutually Vulnerable ? (and therefore open to more with him)

For me, it's the same for both of us: an ability and willingness to open up and share our past disappointments/successes, hurts/glories, and our hopes and dreams of who/where we want to be, knowing that we are in a completely safe place to do so and that the other person won't use this knowledge of who/how we are against us and without [negative] judgements or to make us feel less about ourselves.

 

In each of my LTRs, there's been a feeling that I am a better person within that relationship with them; whether they've been able to express those words, each of the men has felt the same way about themselves: that he is a version of himself, within the relationship he shares with me.
