Relationship 101

5

In today's society we all know that relationships seem to come and go quickly. When it comes to having your relationship last there are many factors.

1. You both have taken time in get to know each other.

2. There has to be respect between the two of you.

3. Keep in mind that sex appeal is very important. Men are more visual while women are more about heart.

4. When dating going to places that you and your ex went is NOT reccomended. Starting off any relationship is tough but adding in the element of your ex can bring about the end of your relationship before it begins.

5. Never enter a relationship without the mutual understanding of why you are together. Some people only want sex and others a full relationship. Always onsider the ups and downs. Can you handle them?

6 Be realistic about the type of person you want. Don't date an "adverage" looking person if you are looking for a "overly beautiful woman" or "overly handsome man". Settleling first then breaking up because they aren't what you wanted is damaging to you and the other person. It is a total waste of time and energy.

7. It is very important to not crowd the person you are dating. It is great to spend a lot of time together but a day or two a week apart keeps the relationship alive. Some people don't think that this is true but it is. Men love their women to be around but sometimes can become worn down if she is around all of the time

.

8. Don't jump to the conclusion that your mate wants to get married just because they say "I Love You". Many people are hurt when the subject of marriage seems to NOT come up. The truth is no one wants to feel like they HAVE to get

married just because their mate wants to.

9. If you do decide to get married make sure you decide together when you both are ready. It is best when you are both where you want to be in life: job and home.

10. If your relationship progresses and the two of you decide to have children make sure that you have spent at least 5 or more years being a couple. Dating traveling and growing before you add a child into your relationship that you will have to raise until they become an adult.

The bottom line on relationships is things are different now. The old way of dating no longer exsist and you need to change along with the times. What use to be boy meets girl, fall in love and get married isn't the norm anymore. It's people meet, find a physical attraction, have sex, find out what they like or don't like and stay together or break up. No matter what you decide to do give it thought. Saves you time and breakup trouble.
