What advice have you received about relationships? What advice do you wish you had received? What would you encourage a younger friend to keep in mind before dating?
 
Re: What advice would you give to a person who is new to dat

I've never been given advice, but I've certainly given it out.

Take things slow! These days, especially teenagers, feel they have to rush into the relationship. Start dating on Monday, and by Tuesday they're suddenly having sex and acting like they can't live without each other. You have plenty of time to date. plenty of time to find "the one" for you and settle down.

My sister is only a year older than I am, and has never been married. Lately, she has been having a panic attacks about growing old and alone and never having a family. I told her the same thing I said above. The more you try to rush love, the more you'll end up being alone for a longer time.

Love cannot be rushed. You cannot just meet someone and insta-love! If you and the other person are meant to be together, you'll both figure it out in due time.

I agree with you Drago

Everyone just needs to realize love will come when it is meant to be. People seem to rush 'falling in love'. It's mostly because as humans we don't want to be alone and that idea can be scary.

I haven't really been given much advice, but I feel like the advice I give is along those same lines. Many of my friends tend to think they are in love within a month. Several of my friends are now pregnant, not married, but they live with the guy. It sort of bothers me because in one situation - the girl and guy have been together, the girl never wanted kids, she acts so 'in love' but the guy is over on Facebook saying some pretty messed up things about women, not necessarily about the girl, but I think if you're an adult and having a great relationship why would you have to speak about women in particular ways?

Just know a relationship is a commitment. If you can't stand the persons quirks, or their attitude, guess what? It probably isn't meant to be. I think several married individuals aren't even with the one they should be, but they stick it out.

The main advice I can give - be patient.

My Advice when it comes to relationships and you are new to dating is

BE CALM AT ALL TIMES, also be happy by the fact you're spending time with someone you like and that you're enjoying their company, this will project across to that other person and if you can see them smiling ALOT then obviously it's a god send.

That's where you can start.

It's simple advice, though it's very effective, works like a charm and gives you a big sense of ease.

I would say be yourself, do not be manipulative, do not intimidate or be intimidated, and don't look for the 'perfect' person that you think you are looking for, go out and date someone you may normally think you aren't interested in. Don't over evaluate ... wow the list would just go on and on and on..

Well I have never dated before so I'll tell you these responses that I read to this topic were quite helpful.

Well, dating is not bad thing if you have good relation with your partners especially if you are not from Asia.If you are south Asian, then you have to prepare your coffin for your funeral.Avoid it as much as you can because the people around you are agents of intelligence agencies who will make a precise report to your parents which will make a end of you game.
