Why is it when you meet someone and things are going great it messes up when you start telling people?

See related link "On Gossip" on left..

People tend to put pressures on the relationship...either by gossip which can get back to one or both of the people involved or by jokes, suggestions as to what should happen next, and generally sticking their noses into something that they shouldn't. This is different to wise advice that is sought out, or obviously necessary.
