Romantic Advice

Love. Can’t really explain it, can’t really understand it, but we try our best to make it work. Like all things, sometimes you just need a little help to work things out. So that’s exactly what I decided to do, compile a guide on relationship advice. 

Fights

They’re ugly, they’re mean and they’ll tear you apart if you let them. No matter what it’s about, don’t be bullheaded enough to just assume that you’re right from the start. Instead, be mature about it and try to see the situation from their perspective. This allows you to find a solution, and let you get back to normal with each other. Try not to give in to the urge to hurt the other person emotionally, because that will only make the fight meaner, messier and even harder to resolve, as well as making them hurt you right back. Save time, and explain the problem to each other to make it easier to understand and fix. All relationships have fights, but the ones that go on anyway are the ones that had the effort and love put in to them.

Compliments

These are a must in pretty much every relationship. Without compliments from either sides, then you’ll get nowhere. Compliments make them feel needed and loved, and also tell them what you like. If, for example, you really like the way a certain shirt looks on them, tell them and odds are that they’ll wear it more often. Simple things like their smile, their hair or the way they hold you make them feel special. On the other hand, it is possible to go overboard on the flattery, and end up acting clingy, dependent and slightly stalkerish. Be sure to have a comfortable balance between not caring and being overly attentive. 

General Advice

Both men and women are very romantic when it comes to dating. Dates don’t have to be to movies, restaurants or fancy clubs. A night under the stars eating a home cooked meal is just as romantic as going to a dim ritzy steak house. Holding and just whispering to each other is maybe as romantic, if not more, as making love. Music is always a great conversation starter, and can create a mood between you and your partner that just screams love. Always remember to say that you love them, at least once a day, or whenever you see them, if you’re in a long distance relationship. Always be truthful, honest and true to the person you love, and you’ll see them respond in kind.

Relationships take work, and my advice can’t help everyone. Sometimes, it’s better to end a relationship if it isn’t worth your time and effort, and only hurts you. This advice only really works in a real relationship, where both parties are deeply in love and wish to be for quite a while. I hope that my advice helped, and that we all find love.
