• How to Keep a Guy (or Girl) for More Than 10 Days

  

  I consider myself the kind of person who dates long-term and dates seriously. So, over the years, having been in and out of relationships, I have learned that the little things are more important than the big ones. The big fights might be the ones that get you into trouble and sometimes the big fights are the ones that get you broken up, but what leads up to those game-changing fights has to do with all the little things that build up inside you and make you resent each other. 

  I've come up with a few ideas that have helped me in the past get through the hardship that sometimes comes after the honeymoon phase is gone. While this list may be personalized to my own needs, I've found that a lot of people would agree. These are the kinds of little things that will help you appreciate your boo and, if you follow these steps, your boo will appreciate you, too: 

  • When you are free, ask to spend time together more often.
  • When you have to cancel plans, call-- don't text! 
  • Even when you are busy, remember to ask how his/her day was.
  • When you want something, don't play games. Just ask. He/she will probably give you what you want!
  • Follow through when you make a promise.
  • If you love him/her, say so! Often.
  • If you can't spend physical time together, find other ways. Video-chatting, phone calls, get creative. Make dinner separately and eat it together via face-time.
  • Wake up early and make him/her breakfast. (Even if it's just some toast, they'll really appreciate you and they'll feel appreciated.)
  • Surprise him/her.
  • If you think he/she is being dramatic, think again. It's probably not for entertainment purposes. He/she is more likely actually that upset about something.
  • Hold hands. It never gets old.
  • Leave each other little notes.
  • When apologizing, mean it. If you don't mean it, don't waste his/her time!
  • Complain to each other less. When you complain, it probably stresses him/her out causing strain on your relationship.
  • Don't take out your frustration on each other. If it's frustration from an external force, you're only making matters worse.

  What do you do to keep your relationship going? When you're upset, how does your significant other make it better? Or worse?
