Think with me for a moment about social pressure. Social pressure is not a bad thing by itself because that is what we use to learn how to behave as children. We watch. We observe and we join in. We learn to line up as kids. We learn to wait our turn as children. Those are very important skills. However, someone who is planning to take advantage of you will use social pressure to manipulate you into making a decision that you are not really prepared to make. How many men have used social pressure to get the woman to agree to marry them. They have the family around. They have the crowd all focused on you and the moment and there is that pressure to not leave the man hanging. A number of women said, “Yes, I will marry you.” Then, two months later she breaks off the engagement, when she knew all along she was not ready.
