Generic Relationship Advice

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

So here's the thing. I know advice is usually given per person, based on who they are, how much you know about them, ect ect...

BUT there isn't a thread on here (to the best of my knowledge, because I did a search before I posted this) for giving generic advice. Girls and guys can participate. I reckon this can be advice you give yourself, or to others who might date you, or things you have learned over the ages about the opposite sex, or even your own sex (and i mean gender, sillies) that you hate that they do/you do, or love that they do/you do.

SO with all that being said, what advice would you give someone, as far as relationships go? You can even give an scenario and then advice you'd give that person in response to that scenario. I'll post mine at a later date so that others can have a chance to post, and also it will give me time to get all mine together lol...

Have fun folks, and don't beat each other up for what they say. This is what you would give as far as advice. Not what you think others want to hear. SO play nice, keep your hands to yourself.... asking someone to clarify what they mean is totally different than saying that their advice is dumb. Everyone's had their own experiences in live, so no advice will be the same as someone else's.

If you meet somebody good, keep them

Forever.

Nowadays I'm lumping myself with guys meant to date older women, though not way older, maybe under a decade to stay somewhat conservative. I'm not even going to try to analyze it, I just think some guys were meant to turn the tables and date older chicks. I don't think all of maturity can be categorized by age after a certain period of mental development, but that's a difficult, multi-faceted topic.

when someone tells you you're too good for them, take them at their word.

there is nothing new under the sun, nothing that has not been felt or done before.

don't date another person while married and then think of leaving the person your married to and say that its normal that after being married ten years you do these things

[LittleMissLuckyCunt (1)]

If you can see yourself with that person in 20 years, be with them.

[CalicoKittyKat]

Don't compare them to the previous.

Don't go in thinking you'll change them or "fix" them. You won't. People have to do that for themselves, when they are ready.

..and especially, don't write a public MySpace blog all about it. Spare everyone your disgustingness.

If you find someone who will trust you, who you can cut through all the bullshit with and they still stick around...hang on tight.

But remember you don't have to sell yourself short to be loved.
