Mine is when going out for food and/or drinks, sit next to each other not across from each other.
We’ve all seen it. Couple facing each other on a date or date night where there’s more silence than talking.
Sit next to each other, you’ll more often than not have something to talk about 🙂

Don’t let yourselves go or take each other for granted.
She’s gorgeous, I want to look at her.
Understand that both you and your partner’s needs can change over time. It’s important to be open about how your needs are changing and getting the same from your partner.
Date someone you actually like. I feel like too many people are just with someone because they don’t want to be alone. If she’s not someone youd get along with as a friend, she’s not right to be your gf/wife
Keep flirting even on boring days. It’s the small stuff that keeps things feeling alive.
Less communication, not more.Â
She doesn’t want to hear every little thing that goes through your brain. She thinks she does – but she doesn’t. At best it will annoy her. At worst it will inspire anger and resentment.
There’s a reason you have two ears and one mouth, listen twice as hard
Don’t stop hand holding when walking together when you are older. Also…it’s ok to touch hair, arms and back in public places. Nobody has complained about it. Although we have gotten a few dirty looks!Â
Help out with house chores, don’t be lazy.
I will talk less if I sit next to a woman at a restaurant. I can’t see her facial expressions and I can’t see her lips so understanding her will be almost impossible until we leave. Also we will constantly be bumping elbows and it’s extremely uncomfortable.
The most surefire way to destroy a relationship is to make it uncomfortable.
she is right, you are wrong. just accept it. oh, and always let her have the last word.
Especially when having difficult conversations, it is important to use “I” language instead of “you” language.
I feel, I perceive, I believe, I desire. Own your feelings without accusations or projections. It can prevent so much misunderstanding and unnecessarily hurtful communication.
When I was younger and people used to tell me “pick your battles” I’d scoff. It seemed like quitter talk, and I thought that if you and your partner couldn’t see eye to eye that you probably shouldn’t be together anyway.
As I’ve grown I’ve learned that not every fight matters. Some of them are not about anything material, or any expectations of you. Sometimes the whole thing really is just about how she feels about something, and even if you go balls to the wall and come out on top, you don’t really get anything other than the satisfaction of convincing your partner that you’re right. There’s nothing to be won, so until something that actually matters is at risk shut up, nod, and move on. She won’t feel invalidated and you both won’t have wasted time and energy arguing over nothing.
Calm down first. Screw whoever said never go to bed angry. It’s better than trying to have a rational and empathetic conversation at 3am.
If it’s an especially touchy conversation. Let one side talk. Leave it for a few hours. Other persons turn. Leave it for a few hours. Now try.
“A ship doesn’t sail on yesterday’s wind”
Don’t carry negative things into the next day and nothing positive you did yesterday means nearly as much today (if anything)
