How to have an awesome relationship
Want to have the best imaginable relationship with your girlfriend? Keep these five secrets in mind to keep that relationship fire burning bright.
Tip 1 - Don't stop dating her
Many guys are charming, interesting, and fun, and organize great dates at the start of their relationship - and then, after a while, they get completely boring. After a while the most exciting thing they can think of is ordering pizza and putting on a movie. Make sure you keep doing stuff together! Take your girlfriend to events, concerts, festivals, art-house movies, anything fun and interesting. Keep an eye out for fun things to do in your city and surprise her. Same goes for any special events. Valentine's Day, her birthday, public holidays....make the most of them and be as fun as possible.
At least once per week, I try to take my girlfriend out to a comedy club, buy a voucher for a nice restaurant, exercise or go on a road-trip or adventure with her.
Tip 2 - Don't be a couch boyfriend
Quite similar to the last tip, don't become the "couch boyfriend," who gets the girl and then goes lazy. It's common for a boyfriend to become progressively boring over time: doing nothing but playing computer games, getting fat, watching too many movies or TV, and avoiding social events. This is a good recipe to become an ex-boyfriend. It's why lots of guys are completely lost when their girlfriend breaks up with them - and most breakups in long relationships are initiated by the woman. It happens because these guys have lost their edge. Your girlfriend wants you to be hot, sexy, and popular. So make an effort!
Tip 3 - Keep improving yourself
Don't just work hard on your job or your relationship - work hard on yourself. Read books, attend courses, watch DVDs on personal development or self-improvement and make an effort to improve your life, make more money, and be happier overall. The happier you are, the happier your girlfriend will be with you, and the more rewarding your relationship will be able to be.
Tip 4 - Challenge your girlfriend
Girls really like to be challenged. Often, we choose to date people that have character traits that we want in ourselves, and relationships can be a tool for personal growth. Make sure that you support her in her goals and push her to grow as a person. Be a positive influence and build her confidence. Push her to chase her dreams and challenge her to meet your example by living your own life in a intense and positive way. Suggest things like learning a language together, taking dance classes, or anything that allows you to do things together and grow at the same time.
Tip 5 - Improve your communication
The most important skill you need to achieve a strong relationship is excellent communication skills. Work on your conversational skills with your girlfriend and other people. Perfect your people skills and your communication in general. Meet new people as often as you can. Consider taking a public speaking course such as Toastmasters. Taking an Improv Acting course can be one of the best ways to learn to communicate strongly.
A relationship with your girlfriend is a dynamic and constantly evolving situation that requires consistent investment effort - in a way it's like a mirror. You only reflect what is there to be seen, and the only thing you're going to get out of a relationship is what you put into it.
