Tip #7

Ignore the roles.

It's very easy to get caught in the relationship roles you see in all over the media. The guy brings the girl flowers. The girl gets annoyed when the guy talks to other girls. The guy pays for dinner. The girl wants to get married.

Screw that. Buy him flowers for once. Don't get trapped into thinking relationship duties are divided into his and hers. Both partners need to be attentive, loving, and honest with themselves and each other, but aside from that, anything goes!

Being in a relationship should never mean changing who you are to fit the role of "girlfriend" or "husband."
