Once it Gets Serious

Keep the fire burning. Don't forget how it was in the beginning. You can keep a good relationship going by remembering to do the nice little things you did on the first few dates.

Don't stop flirting with your partner. If these things turned you on in the beginning when you were nervous and didn't know what to expect, just think what they will do now.

Don't forget to get romantic once in a while. Now that you settled into a lifestyle with your new partner, it's easy to fall into a dull trap. Don't let your life together get boring. Remember the romantic tips you used in the beginning. Use them now. Turn the TV off and plan some time together.

Meet the parents. No one likes being judged but you know when you meet your new partner's friends and family for the first time, you will be scrutinized. They have to make sure you are the right choice for their son, daughter, friend. Just be yourself. As hard as this will be, it is best to act naturally. Don't try to impress anyone. They will like you much better if they don't think you are trying to put on a show.

Enjoy your new life together!
