You can’t sustain the first and original feeling you both got on the first few dates, it is a very unique feeling. You can however sustain the unending love for each other which is its own unique feeling. This also includes appreciating the one you decided to be with for (hopefully) ever. Always take time out to praises, appreciate and compliment your loved one. They need to always feel that love. It doesn’t matter if you do it on every date or at least ONCE every time you two are together, just make sure you do it. Taking the person for granted WILL make them feel used. It is plain and simple. When a person feels used they WILL begin to look for someone else that can appreciate them like you couldn’t. For this reason, always compliment your lover at least once a day. But, for the record, don’t over do it. Everyone loves feeling special but too much can start pushing them away thinking you are a loony, not the loony they fell in love with. So avoid over appreciation but make sure you still keep the appreciation going daily. Like buying them a card or flowers or even a snack while giving it to them saying you love them or something cute but not over the top.
Once again, this is one of those tips that are connected, this one applies to the one above that I just got done saying. Well, typing. Just, try to avoid the calling every minute, demanding to see each other and trying to get more attention and all that junk. Don’t hound your date like some sort of dog. You don’t need to make a competition for you and his/her friends. This will kill your relationship if you keep the hounding and nagging up. Who wants to spend all of their life and energy with someone that wants all the attention on themselves? It is mentally exhausting. Don’t be that annoying nagging boyfriend or girlfriend and give each other some space so that way the time together is that much better before you two move in together. And, that is a whole article on its own.
So, there you all have it! Some great tips for past the first few dates. Some of those I made sound as if the two of you lived together as well. I did this because nowadays that seems to be normal, where as wwwaaayyy back in the day that was unheard of. Times change, and for that reason so do the tips. They were designed with the idea that you got past the first few dates and the two of you are now going steady.
