tips on how to make it last?

Hey all!

I am not very experienced at all when it comes to relationships. I really love my boyfriend and don't want to make any silly mistakes in this relationship. Any one have any tips, regardless of how obvious, on what to avoid doing/what to do to make sure it lasts?

Don't try to make sure you have a perfect relationship. Things will go wrong, you'll fall out and you'll probably piss each other off but that's just how it goes. As long as you really love him you should be able to work through it, and making up after an argument is always fun :wink:

^ I agree, however you don't have to be trying to make a relationship perfect, by trying to keep it stable

Just a few little things =]

1. Remember to comprimise. Your not always gonna agree, but that doesn't mean you can't balance things out a bit.

2. Petty jealousy for no reason may irritate him. If he didn't want to be with you he wouldn't be, remember that.

3. Being affectionate and making sure he knows you care is always important :smile:

Of course no relationship is perfect, just enjoy it and i'm sure you both will be happy for a long time ! =D

Never take problems out on him. Its been the problem of every woman I've been with and it's just not cool. Good luck! :smile:

You want my advice? Don't take anyone's advice. As contradictory as that sounds. :wink:

Every couple's relationship is different. Sometimes it feels right for things to go really quickly; other times it feels right to take things much more slowly.

Who cares what's normal? Just trust your instincts. If you think you're doing the right thing for you and for your relationship, you probably are.

Be yourself, be honest with each other, keep the relationship stimulated - dont fall into ruts, don't have too much sex (IMO anyway; others may disagree!), accept that its not always going to be perfect.

You cant really give anyone else tips to make their relationship work. Every relationships different, different things will apply to different relationships. Be yourself & If its going to work it will- and if it doesnt- then he wasnt the right one for you.

Be yourself, don't rush, just enjoy your time with him. Most of all just take it as it comes really, you can't predict too far into the future.

Don't be too clingy as mentioned above. And don't try and be somebody you're not.

I have been in a relationship for 4 yrs. Here is my advice:

- be yourself
- be spontanious once in a while, e.g. buy a random gift or I like to bake a random pudding

For the people who say do not be clingy, I am a v.clingy gf and my bf loves that about me!

its not always as easy as saying do this this and this because different things work for different people and relationship structures. just listen to one another and be willing to compramise. look for signs of hurt and remember what actions cause what responce.
you want to do it so your part way there already
