 Dating & Relationship Tips
Enjoy the variety of dating and relationship building tips that follow. They are listed in no particular order.
Show Off - If you have a great body you're trying to show off and young physical appearance, yet worry because you still seem to have difficulty finding dates and establishing relationships, here are some pointers. Turn off the "ME" focus. Others tend to see that as boorish and think you only care about yourself, not others and certainly not them. Instead, turn the focus on outside interests that the other person
can relate to, even if it has to be the weather. For help, tune in to an online news source like CNN or subscribe to a national or other major newspaper or magazine like Newsweek or head to the public library for the latest news briefs. Online dating might be a good outlet for you, to as it generally offers a place to list all your great physical qualities as well as outside interests and more, presenting a more rounded dating candidate. Then those who are VERY interested in great abs, youthful appeal, etc. will be able to check you out. And those who are interested in the other interests can focus on those, too.
Sit, Don't Take a Stand - Instead of voicing your opinions over issues that you pretty well know cause heated arguments, don't take a stand. Just sit them out. There's no shame in passing up an argument. For example, if you both call yourselves "Christians," yet one of you firmly has a complete set of rules and regulations about what a "Christian" really is, and doesn't hesitate to voice this, skip over conversations about religion. If you have to, simply say something along the lines of, "This gets us too heated, so let's pass on if for now and move on to something else." Agree that it's okay to disagree. Because it is!
Traditions - Keep up with some old traditions from each family. Alter some; create new ones. The main thing here is to make positive memories that you can share and relive over and over, especially during rough spots when you can't remember why you are together. Traditions can be like glue and bind you with a common past.
Sex VS Love - Sex and love are not the same thing. Learn the difference and don't measure love by your hormones.
Negotiator - Forget "his" and "hers" roles and who "should" do what when
Learn to negotiate. What works one day may not work another when timing is off, kids are on the run and disaster strikes, for instance, when your mother-in-law drops by unexpectedly.
Love and Hate - Love your mate. It is OK to strongly dislike (or "maybe" hate) a behavior, like cracking knuckles or biting nails. But remember to love the person.
