Successful date

I have many successful dates from this site and others dating websites. I have a very healthy and happy marriage as a result of this site. I am forever grateful to this site for allowing me the chance to meet my husband. Who would have guessed that the man of my dreams lived only a few miles from me, and I never even knew it. Prior to getting married I did have one or two bf/gf relationships from this site, but they didn't last very long as I quickly discovered they weren't what I was looking for and I moved on. Anyhow, I don't know that there r any magic ingredients out there, but there a few common sense ones.

Common sense ingredients for a relationship:

Good communication skills- if u want something ask neither party is a mind reader (in most cases) If something is bothering u speak up, again most people aren't mind readers

Trust ur partner- even if u have trust issues this can be very hard to do especially if u have been hurt in the past, but try to understand that ur present partner isn't the one who hurt u so badly before and u need to give them a fair chance.

Go with ur gut- If ur gut is telling you something isn't right go with it. Communicate ur feelings to ur partner, and then work out whatever problems there might be.

Be HONEST- Don't lie to ur partner even if u think it will save them pain and heartache. Sometimes knowing u were lied to hurts worse than what the lie was or what the lying party felt u needed protecting from.

Respect ur partner- Don't argue with them or air ur dirty laundry in public. If u have a problem with something they said or did don't talk about it in front of friends or family. If ur partner tells u something is bothering them make every effort to stop the annoying or bothersome behavior. No matter how difficult it might be.

Listen to your partner- it's hard to learn things if ur jaw is constantly flapping. If u ask ur partner a question listen to their answer without interrupting. U wanted to know so now respect them enough to listen to them.

Love your partner- Do kind things for them or tell them that you love them. More importantly show them that you love them.

Respect yourself- Don't do things just because your patner wants you to. Don't do things that you might regret in the future whether that be the next day or ten years from now.

Take care of yourself- Don't slack off in your upkeep just because you are in a relationship. You may feel your partner to be shallow in wanting you to look a certain way, but they fell in love with you because of how you were when they met you not because you can be lazy. If you have gained weight it's normal, but if it's excessive exercise do it together it may be fun. Dress up for your partner you just might like the results.

I think that is some pretty commonsense advice. I hope it helps you to find and develop the kind of relationship that you want to have.
