Enjoy face to face dinner, no electronics or distractions.

Actually be present.

DamonK · 11-20-2012, 05:55 PM

Don't forget to date.
Remember the reasons why you fell in love in the first place.
Know that hard times happen, and be willing to wait it out.
Know your limits and boundaries.
Even when upset at one another, make sure your love is still known.

I'm no relationship expert, but one thing that I feel is pretty important
is to just keep your attitude in check. If your always down on something, spewing judgementalness, and just have a generally bad attitude towards others or life in general, it's a complete turn-off.

The more you nurture the negativity, the more negative you become.

This is SO true. No fun to be around someone like this. Thank you for the reminder!

Honesty, Honesty, Honesty, and Directness. And get it, Honesty.

Then a relationship with me can begin, in friendship, real friendship, then we'll see. I don't do the "masks", life and friendship is too precious to waste time with anything less.

So, what to do in a relationship? Start with Honesty.

Expectance is good too, as long as you communicate that..

Freudian!

Yes, and so are the majority of things in life.

Laugh until you cry
Be there for the other
Make sacrifices for the other
Love with all you are

Random · 12-17-2012, 10:25 AM

Scritch their head, or their back, or what ever spot makes them go... oh...yah...

Encourage them to cry if they need it... Sometimes everyone needs a good cry...

Support them... how ever they need that support...

Blue_Daddy-O · 03-16-2013, 01:13 PM

Communicate. Communication is THE key.

I use to interview couples when I was lots younger, who had been together for over 50 years or more. And I would ask them, how did you make it.

The majority of them replied:

Number #1 - Communication. We listen to each others opinions. And we can agree to disagree.

Also, I often heard, "I married my best friend"

These couples still smiled at each other in that loving way when looking at each other and talking about each other.

Communication, is the road to success or failure in ANY relationship. It definitely has been in mine.

whispers in the dark are amazing (in their place) but seldom mean as much as what is said & done in the cold light of day. It's just my opinion that it is only in this light you will perhaps see what you truly have and what you do not
