Dating Tip: If you don’t understand something your partner wants or needs, ask them about it, to get clarity. You can never communicate too much.

Dating Tip: Don’t expect your partner to fill your emotional holes, and don’t try to fill theirs. Help them to do it themselves, and ask for the same.

Dating Tip: Each having your own lives is important. Maintain your own friendships and occasionally have a night out without your significant other.

Dating Tip: Mind your manners. ‘Please’, ‘thank you’ and ‘you’re welcome’, can go a long way in helping your partner remember that you love them.

Dating Tip: Make future plans together. Share what you want your life to be about, where you want to end up and what these things mean to you.

Dating Tip: Learn to listen to each other. If your partner wants to share something with you, take a minute to listen.

Dating Tip: Check in with your partner about decisions, even if they seem small. It’s important to make decisions as a partnership.

Dating Tip: Turn your phones off sometimes when you’re around each other. Connect with your partner instead of spending time on your phone.

Dating Tip: Get creative about the time you spend together. Surprise your partner every now and then.

Dating Tip: Make sure you’re getting enough ‘you’ time. Needing space from your partner is not a bad thing.
