"Dating & Couples"
Need help with dating or the relationship you now have?

Let's be honest:
1) you want someone attractive
2) you want to find maturity
3) you're open to someone who doesn't have a lot of money, (as long as they have a job.) But it's just as easy to love someone rich.
So ask yourself two questions:
1) What type of person have you been drawn to in the past, and have they brought out the best in you?
2) Do you want to build confidence or fine-tune how you present yourself?
"Sometimes, investing a little in yourself can mean a lot for your future."

Did You Ever Stop To Think?
that the less time you invest. . .
that the fewer feelings you express. . that the less you are affectionate. . .
that the less you listen. . .
that the less you talk with (not at). . .
that the fewer questions you ask. . .
that the less you do . . .
that the less intimate your emotionally intimate relationship becomes - every day!
The path to a successful relationship:
1) be present, pay attention, and listen - for real
2) your partner needs to know you well enough to value you
(you can't value what you don't understand or know)
3) no manipulation or abuse
(most abuse is in the form of anger and blaming)
4) be encouraging and supportive
(of what your interests, goals,
and ambitions are)
5) consistently work to understand you
(without this there won't be any forgiveness)
Make a more
caring
connection
with me:
1) Don't assume I always know you love me, show me with your talk and your actions.
2) Don't be so quick to criticize; I didn't set out to fail.
3) Sometimes I forget that your feelings and insecurities (or fears) aren't the same as mine.
4) Touch me, hug me once in awhile - it connects to what I feel.
5) Be sincere - don't say something if you don't really mean it.
6) Respect me - pay enough attention to me to know what's special about me.
