It's not healthy nor good for the relationship to always be in contact with each other all day, and every day.
Allow yourselves to miss each other. Don't stop focusing on other areas of your lives. It's okay to enjoy things without the other person.
Don't neglect your friends and family. Although you're happy and want to gush about your new partner, careful not to place them on such a high pedestal. Remember that not everyone wants to hear about your new relationship all the time.
Don’t let them pressure or guilt you into staying in a relationship or doing things you’re not comfortable with
That sometimes the other person stops being the one you want romantically but can still be a great friend to you
Don't go straight into the relationship at 110%. By this, I mean don't try and force the happy, sunshiney best version of yourself around them all the time. The day will come where you settle into the relationship and you start acting more like your normal self: then they'll think you're unhappy because you aren't beaming all the time 'like you used to'.
That people evolve. Don’t expect to be with the same person 20 years later. In relationships, you grow together and that is the challenge of staying together.
Whacht out for manipulative peoplea
Don't mistake great sex for love. There's nothing wrong with FWB, or booty calls (is that still even said? Sorry, I'm an old man), just don't be conned - by your partner, partners, or your hormones - into thinking it's something it's not.
Make sure you love yourself before you get into a serious relationship.
Love and know yourself. You cannot come in half and hoping to find another half. Be whole yourself first.
When you first start a relationship that usually is one of best moments of that realtionship enjoy it as much as you can. Things will change over time. If you keep working at it cause it is never easy you have a very good realtionship. Also try to find out as much info on the person your in a new relationship with just in case they are not who you think they are that way it won't hurt as bad when you find out a yr or two later
Immediately evaluate your (1)reasons for being in this relationship; (2) have you both entered it on equal footing; (3) and do you mutually benefit by becoming a better person and having a better life because you have each other.
If you can answer all three favorably, then it is a relationship worth working on. Otherwise break it off and move on.
Never lose yourself so quickly and completely that you give way more than the other person. And sometimes, people come into your life to ultimately serve as a learning lesson so you know what you want in a partner and what are your boundaries.
how people act under pressure or when their mad or anxious
This is for females: Ladies beware if he sweeps you off you feet with from the jump. Flowers, expensive gifts, romantic gestures. If he says things like, he feels like he's known you forever. Please don't take the bait. There's a good chance he's an abuser and he'll reveal that as soon as you marry him.
