1. Listen to what your partner has to say. While you might not share the same beliefs or interests, you will discover what makes this person tick and what he loves most in life. In addition, showing that you are a good listener will pave the way for deeper, more meaningful conversations down the road.
2. Give your significant other a lot of space. You two might be head over heels in love, but that doesn’t mean you should spend every second of the day with each other. Hang out with friends and don’t be upset if a friend event up-ends some couple's time you had planned. Roll with the punches.
3. Surprise him once in a while. Now that you have been carefully listening to his interests, you’ll know what he likes. Apply that knowledge to fix a favorite meal or take your date to a special location or plan an evening focused on your date's idea of fun.
4. Share in the decision making. You shouldn’t let the other person walk all over you.Try to make all decisions a little more even. Letting the other person make some choices and dictate the relationship from time to time is a great way to instill confidence in him and feel like he is expressing himself around you.
5. Make the other person in your relationship feel wanted and not jealous. Some girls get a special feeling when their date gets red faced with jealousy. Avoid flirting in front of your boyfriend.
