Share Relationship Tips: People, I am just out of a relationship. It [was bad]. It was a relationship of about 7/8 months, in which I gave all my power to the girl.

Thats a no no. I learnt now, amongst other things, that probably the most important thing in a relationship is to be yourself!

I need you all to share your tips for a succesful relationship. (I am willing to date again...)

trust

Not in any particular order:

1. Be yourself
2. Be honest
3. Be open for communication
4. Pay attention to the other's likes/dislikes
5. Laugh together, a lot.
6. Share common goals and values
7. Share common interests

There are other things that I'm sure others will point out.

I'm so glad that you are willing to date again.  Keep that positive out look and you'll be fine.

its funny vexxy said laugh 2gether,....this guy even found it 2 llaugh at my jokes...why its because i wasnt my self round her..so i found it hard 2 b me.........i`m a very funny dude ..lol( come over i`ll crack ur ribs sometime..)

buhahahahahahaha. that last post was funny.
just be yourself. ha

I think that having a sense of humor is very important.  I'm sorry you didn't get to share that with her.  

I love to laugh so in any relationship I'm in be it friendships, co-workers, etc., there must be laughter

i love to laugh. even at the unfunniest things and it can be embarrasing sometimes but who cares.

hey wes..if u really like laughing so bad...theres this guy u shud meet..damn! this guy laughs at any lil thing..u see, me am more of makin ppl laugh than laughin myself...this guys name is ACHO..my real cool dude..huge sense of humour. And in my last post lil error... i meant gurl..not guy..i dont bark up the wrong tree...(apologies 2 u if u do)

acho. hahahehahahhahaha . . reminds me of the sound you make when you sneeze. haha . is that his real name?

go ahead laugh..lol..u really are askin 4 it.. he`ll make u fall in love wit him he will.His my mentor in this whole tryin 2 win chicks over game..I`ll tell him u was askin 4 trouble...lol

Wesley, I do that.  I laugh when I'm embarrased.  But you can tell that I'm embarrassed because it's more of a nervous laugh than an all out "that was funny" laugh.  Also, my face turns red.

aww.

i remember this one time my teacher said something about ribosomes and i made up the picture in my head and started laughing. everyone was looking at me like what's wrong with her. . . .

hey are any of my two darling girls shy by any means? Please don't hold it back; I call shyness the silent killer. And you girls are lucky to be talking to a guy who was once shy and overcame his shyness (serious) If you are shy tell me now or forever live with your disease.

i'm shy. but i don't think it's a disease if it's not a serious "need help" shyness. it's hereditary. my mom passed it to me and i'm going to pass it to my daughter (if i get one)  . . .

I wouldn't say shy. I'm more reserved when I'm just meeting someone, depending on the vibe I get from that person.

yes. i'm not shy with my friends/ family. just strangers and some teachers.

hun!..wes u dont know the half of it..i cud tell u in not so lil wuds why shyness is a social killer and a silent disease..but i fear seun the moderator mite kick me outta here 4 marketin my proffesional help...but wen u are 40 with no man 2 hold and tell u he luves u...u`ll look in vain 4 the guy who offered his help..

  . . . . did that happen to you? are you 40? you really need help then.

ok gurls b like that if u want ..but i know wat this shyness thing can do 2 ppl...for me things like walkin into a crowded classroom was hell...if i was walkin and i felt someone was lookin at me ..damn i`d freeze up.Was actually tryin 2 write a book abut shyness..and how 2 overcome it..still in its draft stage though...cheers lil more sugar pls.

that's not shyness. that's something else. and you need to get over that to get into a sucessful relationship.

shyness is when you're kind of reserved, not loud e.t.c. i think

That sounds more like social anxiety than shyness.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to over come that.

hey thanks a lot gurls..hey can i give ya`ll some advice any job that has 2 do wit counselling..i want u gurls 2 keep away frm it...how can u both just tell me my problem isnt shyness..and who said social anxiety?......BACK 2 SENDER ..thunder fire my enemies...

Looks like I must change my major!

nah. i don't share private info with strangers. i'm a "privacy freak"  

what's going to be vexxy's new major?

wat am i ever goin 2 do wit u wes..oh i thank GOD 4 ur life...this isnt a porn room..no one wants 2 hear those kind of details..i just mean..things u learnt frm past relationships...vexxy u too..........

It was counseling. . . . .L.O.L.!  I think I'll stick to it, I'm enjoying it.

All of the things I've stated in my initial post are things that I've learned from previous relationships.

i'm thinking you need to counsel caliber about relationships.

don't go out with you crush. that's what i learned.
high school relationships don't last long that's the other thing i learned.  . .  are my answers too vague


don't try too much to please whoever you're going out with  . .. that's another thing.

trust

Those are all good ones, especially the trust issue.

trust..its so had 2 find a gurl u can trust..once upon a time it was a male problem but now..ladies are as hard 2 trust as men...
