Step 1
Hold doors open for anyone behind you, regardless of their sex. You’ll score points with your partner for being thoughtful, and you’ll also help strangers out.
Keep details about your previous relationships to yourself. Sharing info about your ex undermines your new partner’s status in the relationship and can quickly lead to serious problems.
Be honest. Avoid telling tall tales and little white lies, no matter how insignificant they seem at the time. Especially when it comes to communication in relationships, honesty’s almost always the best policy.
Go out of your way to help someone in need. Not only will this do your soul some good, it’ll show your partner that your caring and respect for others goes beyond the confines of the relationship, making you seem more trustworthy and genuine.
Plan your dates with your partner. When you suggest a potential activity, ask her what she thinks, even if she agrees immediately with your idea.
Show respect by refraining from sharing informamtion about your hook-ups and dates with your buddies.
