How to Keep a Girlfriend

After getting a girlfriend you like, how do you keep her? Maintaining a relationship can be harder than initiating one, but with effort you will be able to thrive with your new girlfriend.

Instructions

1. Listen to what she has to say. Good listening skills are important. Try to stay tuned in to what she says. Chances are that she is telling you something that will come up later or is useful information.

2. Make time for her. This time needs to be separate from everyone else and should be private time. Make her a priority, even if it means changing her schedule.

3. Take an interest in her interests. Be sure not to blow off activities that are important to her. When you pay attention to her likes, and dislikes, and treat the things she likes with equal interest and importance this will keep balance in the relationship.

4. Respect her boundaries. Never push too hard on things you know she stands firmly on. Constantly trying to push her to the limit is a sign of disrespect for her and her beliefs.

5. Be a positive influence. Although you may not always want to walk the straight and narrow path, wanting the best for her will show her that you care about her. Being a positive influence will also show that you will invest in her future well-being.
