When a relationship is fresh, you can get caught up in the moment. But even when you start to feel like the relationship is going somewhere, don’t let your guard down too soon. Being too available, clingy or getting physical too quickly can ruin that promising relationship.

Relationships on Female First

When you are in the first stages of a relationship, it is hard to not get caught up but make sure you still have your own life. Instead of cutting yourself off from your friends and seeing your new man at every opportunity, make plans and keep in contact with all of the people nearest to you. You don't want to be that is always available and rely solely on their man to provide social interaction and entertainment.

If a man calls you at 7pm on a Saturday night asking if you are free, say no, even if you are just staying in with a tub of ice cream. Plans for the weekend should be made during the week or at least a day before. If he is calling you and asking you to dinner or drinks with half an hour notice, the chances are you are an afterthought. Make him make the effort. Every woman deserves to be wooed and so make sure you demand the respect you deserve.

Be positive. Sitting for a couple of hours eating dinner with someone that thinks rainbows are just a sign of previous bad weather and moans constantly about their neighbours, job or friends is almost as bad as sitting through a math class when you are 13. To be honest, it is dull and brings down the mood of both you and your date. People like to be surrounded by happy and positive people and so even if your boss is the worst boss in history and your neighbours play music until 4am every night, smile and talk about what films you like and all the good times you have had with friends. Keeping the conversation flowing and laughter at the front of the dating formula, you should be getting that offer of a next date in no time.

Don’t rush the physical part of the relationship. It isn’t just men who are working out if they like you at the start of a relationship, you should be working out if your date is potential boyfriend material. When women have sex hormones are released that can make them feel connected. This connection can cloud your judgement on if the man in question is potential boyfriend material. Also if you don’t have sex at the start of the relationship and it doesn’t work out within a few weeks, you can walk away with no sexual, hormone induced attachment.
