Be Communicative About Sex

Once you’ve reached the point in the relationship where you’re both having sex, be as open as possible. Communicate your needs and desires, and be open to what your partner finds sexy in the bedroom.

Remember Important Dates

Remembering birthdays and anniversaries are a must. If it means setting a very loud alarm on your PDA or highlighting the specific date on a calendar that you put in every corner of your apartment, do it. Do you know what sort of hell will be unleashed if you forget someone’s birthday? It’s not good, to say the least.

Don’t Make Comparisons

No date you ever have is going to be perfect. If you and you’re new partner are having a date that’s less than exciting, don’t draw comparisons of other dates or times that were better or more fun. Enjoy each date for what it is and what it has to offer.

Keep Up Your Appearance

 Even if you’re settled into a routine with someone you’ve been dating for a few months, it doesn’t mean you have permission to be sloppy. Besides, people who look good usually feel good, too, and as we already covered, that does wonders for any relationship.

Do More Than Just Look Good

Don’t just look good, smell good, too. Attraction isn’t just about looks; it’s about how all the five senses respond to someone. So be sure to check your breath and armpits before stepping out on a date. And don’t empty the fragrance bottle in one sitting! Make sure you always smell good, if not great.

Don't Do This Too Soon

Don’t be too comfortable too soon. You know who pees with the door open? Couples who have been together for decades and decades. You wouldn’t want to freak out your date with some odd manners and kiss that person goodbye. Leave some things for your latter years together.

Advice For When Friends & Family Try to Set You Up on a Date

Date for you and nobody else. A lot of singles are bombarded by friends and family to date people they normally wouldn’t. Just because people keep trying to set you up, doesn’t mean you have to go out with anyone. The dating process is for you and you shouldn’t be dating unless you’re ready and with whom you choose.
