A Bevy Of Awesome Relationship Advice

If you like a girl/guy talk to them. If you are friends but want to be more – show them you like them.

If your relationship makes you unhappy more than it makes you happy for quite a while, and there is no thing or attitude you could change to make things better, then leave.

If someone treats you badly or doesn’t respect you, leave.

If you are pining for someone, you need to get up, do other things and meet new people. Just because you had a bad experience with ONE person does not mean it will happen again; do not carry baggage from the past forward even one more day.

There is no secret to life/love. Everyone is as clueless as everyone else in the beginning, its just that some people hide insecurity better than others. Improvement comes at the expense of hurt, that’s the cost of entry to the relationship game.

If your SO cheats on you then you have to either leave or genuinely forgive them. If you choose to stay, you have to dismiss it and not use it as a club for the rest of your time together.

Everyone fucks up. Allow for that in others and forgive it in yourself.

You can’t choose who you fall for, or stop loving someone by act of will; it just takes time. Conversely, you can’t make someone love you.

If they hit you, they don’t love you no matter what they say. Leave.

If you need to take drugs or drink to be with someone leave.

If you do long distance long enough sooner or later one of you will cheat.

Avoid jealousy. If someone is with you, it’s because they want to be. If they leave, its because they don’t.

Talk. Always let people know what you want, be it sexually, emotionally or even just what you want for dinner. Being in love doesn’t make someone a mind reader.

Be sane and demand sanity from your partners. 90% of the issues on here stem from crazy. Yes, we know the crazy ones are best in bed, but eventually that doesn’t matter.

Trust your intuition or gut feeling, if something seems wrong it probably is.

It’s not your partners ‘job’ to make you happy. No one is responsible for your happiness but you.

Don’t over-consider the opinions of others. No one knows the truth of your relationship as well as you.

Beware, too, that many others have a personal agenda, which may not be in your best interests; the ‘friend’ who secretly wants to be with you, even the genuine friend who just misses you as a wingman, etc.

Don’t let external influences ruin your relationship. It really is the two of you against all else.

If you decide to break up, do it. Don’t be a jerk or asshole to them, hoping they will just crack and leave. You can never be mean enough to someone to make them leave, you just mess them up for later.

Avoid being clingy. You don’t have to be together all the time, maintain your own interests and don’t neglect your friends.

Once you have the girl/boy of your dreams do not become complacent, show them you love them every day and work at improving yourself in every way, so they can constantly fall in love with a better you.

If you have a need to know something in your relationship, ask your partner! You can learn a lot about someone by talking to them.
