“Finally, it happened to me! I have a real serious relationship! And, in truth, it... drives me crazy" This is exceptionally truthful thought that inevitably arises in the head of everyone with whom a romantic relationship happens for the first time. But do not be afraid! Love is an amazing feeling! There are some important things you should know to make the first relationship successful. 

Everything is fine, even if you are not madly in love

Do you have a super idea that you can enter into a relationship only if your feelings have reached a degree of burning paper? Get rid of it! Do you feel interested and easy together? Are you okay with a person? Do you enjoy spending a lot of time together? Do you want to know this person better? Excellent! This is a healthy relationship. You do not have to lose your head to be with someone. Look at things simpler. If something goes wrong, you will feel it. In the meantime, take delight in the relationship you have.

Do not think about how long it all will last

Live the present! All good things come to an end some time, and not all romantic relationships last forever. And this is normal. Do not think about how you will live happily ever after and die in one day. Thus, you will miss the most important, the magic of the moment, enchantment of the minute, and life itself. Go to the cinema, eat pizza, blow dandelions into each other's face, and enjoy a loved one! There are so many joyful affairs for every age, especially things to do when retired and bored.

Make your dates fun and unusual, not stressful

No, you should not come up with an exact plan for a date each time. Just try to relax and swim along the waves of your mood. Listen to yourself and do not be afraid to seem stupid, ridiculous, and funny. Also, do not hesitate to take the initiative into your hands. It is better to take a walk around the city, instead of two hours of watching a movie that both of you do not like.

Do not start a relationship just because someone puts pressure on you

There is a guy who likes you. All your friends are in relationships. Mom always says that she already had a gentleman at your age. If you are going to start dating someone just for such reasons, stop. Nothing good will come of it. And, most likely, the relationship will end with emptiness and pain. Always focus only on what you feel. 

Be confident in yourself. But do not be afraid to show weakness

Self-confidence looks very attractive, even if you just pretend. But do not be afraid to open your heart to a person you love. Otherwise, you will never be able to become close to someone. In a healthy relationship, people are not afraid to show their weakness and vulnerability to a loved one.

You should not spend with a partner 24 hours a day

This is one of the most important tips on how to build a successful first relationship. You should not think that you need to be together with a loved one here, there, and everywhere. Seriously! It is normal if you go to a movie without a partner. At the same time, you should not run to the other extreme either. You should not constantly think that you are foisting yourself on the loved one. If your beloved invites you to go somewhere together, it speaks about the desire to be and spend time with you. 

Do not forget about your friends

They were with you before your relationship has started. And they remain there for you in case it ends. Of course, all you want now is to spend more time with a loved one. But remember our advice, do not forget about your friends. After all, if they left you, how would you feel?

Do not fall into a panic over trifles

And indeed, take it easy! Do not fall into panic only because a loved one does not answer your message for a long time. Or, in case the partner did not take your hand in the tram. Stop sweating because of stupid little things. This is not a reason for concern at all. Life is beautiful!
