I am not an expert. This is just somethings that I have taken away from my current relationship that I feel is working. If this doesn't work... well you know.
Forget the toilet seat being up or down, clean the damn bathroom.
Pubes are nasty. Toilet paper rolls don't change themselves. Cleanliness is next to a happy relationships. Don't let a little mess go a long way. She/he does not want to clean the dishes all the time. She/he won't clean all the time make it day, you both can clean.
Social networks can be used for good or evil.
Keep messing around and not texting your boo back cause its cool. You gone be cold and alone. Get your priorities straight. Yes, your "talking", tweeting, or chatting with whomever, but they are not on the way to your house with a 12 pack of your favorite beer and chicken.
Do you know how cheap a date is?
Going to different places is easy, finding it is hard. Get groupons or living social make it happen. There are so many cheap ways to make her/him feel like you're doing something just for her. If not for him/her than for you. You can do stuff that you like, maybe she/he might like it. There's everything from paint ball to race car test drives and messages to pedicures.
Take a day off.
Get friends, do things by yourself. You being up under your boo ain't going do anything but annoy you. Relax you know that football you love to watch that she doesn't, watch it now, or that Housewives of Basketball in Hip Hop you can't live without watch it. Go out with your friends, pamper yourself, do nothing, just do it with out your other half. Too much of a good thing can be bad.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
No she will not LEARN how to play COD and he won't love reality shows. Get over it. You're not building a perfect spouse, let them have things that you don't like there's no way you're going to like everything they like. Try not to cry about it.
Don't put your feet up.
Getting comfortable is the number one mistake. Too soon and they will venture else where. You have to act like its the first date for the rest of your life. Don't get settled in soon as you're not paying attention she/he could be gone.
Have fun.
I think this is on every list I will ever do. It's not a job it's a lifestyle. Do with it as you please.
Be as weird as you want to be.
Inside jokes are great, who cares if her/his friends know what you're talking about. This will make you closer and build memories.
Take pictures.
Speaking of memories, take tons of pictures. I never like taking pictures but it is always good when you have a picture in your wallet (what is now your phone).
Do not train them.
This is not an ownership. It's a relationship. You can't make them into your dream woman/man.
