Heading into a new relationship comes with uncertainties but applying these rules will help you avoid some stupid mistakes you might regret later.
Below are basics about relationships you should know
1. While it’s important you don’t let your family and friends choose whom you date, it’s important you consider what they say about your prospective partner before heading into that relationship. It’s easy to get blinded by emotions.
2. A relationship shouldn’t be like a cage. You should be able to do the things you love and hang out with friends you care about while still in your relationship.
3. Sending nude pictures to your partner might appeal to you now until you get to face the consequences later. The question you should ask yourself before sending someone your nude is what will happen to your nudes if the relationship crashes? If you don’t want to be blackmailed with your nudes in future, avoid sending nudes.
4. Define your relationship with your partner from the onset of the relationship. Don’t head into a relationship believing your partner ought to know what you want. Your partner should know what you expect from the relationship before you head into it.
5. Don’t get into a relationship just because everyone around you is in a relationship. Avoid making this terrible mistake.
6. Getting into a relationship because you are bored or lonely is something you shouldn’t do. Learn to wait for the right one. Jumping into several relationships just because you are lonely and bored is just a waste of time.
7. When someone isn’t interested in you, stop wasting your energy and time trying to get his or her attention. The more you force yourself on someone, the more you make yourself look stupid.
8. Avoid taking your relationship problems to social media. It solves nothing and no one feels sorry for you even if they pretend they do. Your relationship should be private.
9. A relationship should be a two-way street. It should be about two partners eager to make sacrifices for each other. Do not remain in a relationship in which you are the only one making sacrifices and compromising.
10. Never regret a failed relationship. See it as an experience and move on.
