LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP ADVISE
If you want to succeed in your love life, try these
1 Don't sleep with a guy on the first date if you want the best shot at
some kind of future with him. Yes, plenty of relationships do start that
way, but you risk being put into the one time-fling category.
2 Never pretend to be into a guy's hobbies. Your true colors will come
out.
3 Enjoy the moment when you're on dates. That means no discussing
the future with him or worrying Is he The One? by date four. For the
first month or so, your only job is to have fun.
4 Focus on your own pleasure in bed. If you're too busy showing off
your skills, you'll forget to enjoy yourself (and rob him of the pleasure
of driving you wild).
5 Sit or stand side by side with your man while doing things together
whenever possible. Men typically feel more relaxed and intimately
connected in this position than when you're directly facing each other.
6 Spend equal — if not more — time with your friends in the first few
months of dating. Guys often rush into a relationship, then suddenly
cry, “This is moving too fast!” You have to apply the brakes.
7 Keep your options open for at least three months before deciding to
be exclusive. You need a minimum of 90 days to even begin to know
what someone is really like.
