INTER

PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP
The concept of interpersonal
relationships involves connections, or
affiliations between two or more people.
Such persons may interact overtly, covertly,
face-to-face; or may remain effectively
unknown to each other
Over 90% of all failed relationships result
from a lack of honest communication and
awareness.
The ultimate source of interpersonal
relationship in intrapersonal
communication.
What lies within each person and how
each person communicates internally
provides the source of meaning, of
self-definition and of self-presentation
in interpersonal relationships.
Stages in interpersonal relationship
1) Contact:
a) Perceptual: noticing how parties look at each
other and their body-language.
b) Interactional cues: nodding, maintaining eye-
contact, etc.
c) Invitational: encouraging the potential relationship
(for example, suggesting a later meeting involving
some social lubricant such as coffee)
d) Avoidance strategies: if one person discloses and
the other does not: minimal response, lack of eye-
contact, etc.
2) Involvement:
a) Feelers: hints or questions
b) Intensifying strategies: furthering the
relationship (for example meeting an old friend,
bringing the other to meet family, becoming
more affectionate, etc.)
c) Public: parties seen in public together often (if
in a romantic relationship, may involve holding
hands)
3) Intimacy: parties very close; may have exchanged some
sort of personal belonging or something that represents
further commitment. (For example, a promise ring in a
romantic relationship or a friendship-necklace identifying
two people as best friends)

4) Deterioration: things start to fall apart. In a romantic
relationship, typically after approximately six months,
people move out of the so-called "honeymoon stage", N
limerence and start to notice flaws. The way they address
this determines the fate of the relationship.
