How to make true love last in college
Making a relationship work is always difficult. During the college years, it is especially hard to find that special someone
with so many new and exciting things to experience. Here's how to make that true love last.
First things first, remember to take things slow. You shouldn't jump into a relationship until you know for sure that you're
ready to commit. While in college, there are many opportunities to date. Make sure that you get the dating game out of your
system before you settle down. . .
hold hands and just smile. Make sure he or she is aware that you enjoy his or her company.
Another helpful hint is to pay attention when talking on the phone. Men don't normally enjoy phone conversations so when
they do talk to on the phone listen up, ladies!
Until you're absolutely sure that you're going to spend the rest of your life with you partner, do not tell them everything.
Even if it makes you feel better to talk, some things can be left unsaid. If you have too many problems, your significant other
will get sick of listening.
Try not to be a jealous girlfriend/boyfriend. Don't worry if your significant other is a flirt. Some people love the attention
they get from harmless flirting. More than likely, they are just doing it for fun. Remember, they are dating you and only you.
Never forget to have trust in a relationship. If you don't have trust, the relationship will be uncomfortable. Neither one of
you will be able to go out with your friends and have a good time without worrying what the other one thinks. Without trust,
the relationship will eo nowhere.

This one's for the guys! Are you in love and not too sure how to express your feelings to your girlfriend? Well nothing
says "I Love You" better than roses. What if you're not quite ready to say those three little words? That's fine...here are
some meanings behind all the different kinds of roses so you can find the perfect color to fit what it is you want to say.
Next, when you decide to date, try to get along with each other's friends. It'll be much easier in the
long run if you can all hang out in a group. Warning: Don't give up your friends for his/hers. You
both still need your own space, and friends are a great outlet.
When you start dating do things you both enjoy. Even if you don't have a whole lot in
common, there arc still things you can do together. Try watching a
movie that you both like. If one enjoys horror films and
the other likes chick flicks, compromise on a
