How To Be A Good Partner In A Relationship

We all want to be a good boyfriend or girlfriend for our partner, right?

I have plenty tips and advice just for you that I have learned and picked up through the years. Pay close attention and don’t be afraid to take notes. By the way, I am not telling you what to do, I am just spreading knowledge.

BE HONEST.

I can not stress how important this is, honesty is crucial to have a healthy relationship and to being a good mate. If you don’t like the way they treats you at times, tell them. They may not always like or agree with what you say, but they can’t say that you weren’t honest. A lot of people appreciate honesty, be true to yourself and be true to your mate.

BE TRUST WORTHY.

Let it be known that your mate can trust you, by showing it though your actions and things you say. Also, give them a chance to gain your trust, if you see that they are not trust worthy bytheir actions or by the things they say, why are you with them? Its not wise to be with someone you can’t trust, you want to know that they’ll protect you in certain situations, you want to know that they won’t bail out on you. I’m not saying to trust them with your life, but have simple trust in them, you want to know that they’ll be there when you need them.

BE RESPECTABLE

Respect yourself when you are with them and when you are not with them. You represent the both of you, so it is important to present yourself respectfully. Don’t flirt or give out your number to other people when you are away from your mate. This not only makes you look sleazy (yes men too), but its disrespectful to your mate and to yourself. Remember that you’re in a relationship, so stay close to them emotionally. Just because they’re not with you every moment of the day, it does not give you the right to talk flirtatiously to others, you are not a free agent.

BE APPRECIATIVE

Appreciate the little things they do or has done for you. Be thankful for the time that they spends with you. Enjoy their presence, don’t nag in their ear all the time. Be happy when they takes you out on a date, or when they’d rather spend time with you than with their friends. A little “Thank You” here and there and doing sweet things for them will show that you appreciate them. Men and women both like to feel appreciated.

LISTEN & PAY ATTENTION

When they talks, listen. I mean truly listen to what they have to say, don’t just let it go over your head. When they talk, it should be important to you, they’re not talking to you for their  health. Sometimes people just need someone to listen. Let them know that you’re interested and that you are willing to listen. When their body language is telling you something, pay attention. Watch their body language when they talk to you and even when they’re not talking. If they see that you don’t like to listen or pay attention to them, they may think that you don’t care and they may stop caring as well.

BE YOURSELF & BE CONFIDENT

Don’t try to be someone that you are not. Just be you and feel comfortable in your own skin. They will appreciate you for being confident in who you are. It’s attractive to them and they’ll admire your confidence. Its good to be confident, but its another to be over confident. Don’t seem cocky or arrogant, but shine with confidence.
