How to Keep a Boyfriend

Finding the right guy to start a relationship with takes time. Once the relationship solidifies, you'll probably want this new person in your to stay. Keeping a boyfriend takes some work and a strong sense of self.

Instructions

1. Give him some space. He needs to enjoy time with his male friends and you need time with your female friends. Most boys don't like clingy women.

2. Respect his interests. Try doing some of the things that he is interested in so that you have more in common. And invite him to participate in activities that spark your passion. If you don't share the things you enjoy, you'll probably grow apart.

3. Take care of yourself. Guys like a woman who takes pride in her appearance. Remember that a positive attitude is part of being attractive. However, never forget that you have every right to demand the same of him.

4. Tolerate his friends. You may think that they are childish and immature, but they are his buddies. Just remember to enjoy the time you are spending with your boyfriend. And if he complains about your chums, remind him that you don't complain about his.

5. Learn to compromise and be honest in every situation. You and your boyfriend will disagree about some things during your relationship but if you both are honest and willing to compromise, you can find a mutually acceptable solution to any problem. However, if you find yourself compromising continually, you're probably not right for each other.

6. Support him in every situation and demand the same of him. Sometimes, he may do things that are immature or just plain stupid but he is still your boyfriend.

7. Make up after an argument. Be sure to apologize for your wrongdoings and accept his apologies for his mistakes.
