Let it be (B)eautiful: I find it really adorable when a person includes their significant other in conversation even when they are not around. Instead of saying “On rainy days I usually like to stay home and watch re-runs of ‘The King of Queens’ – they would say ‘On rainy days Joe and I like to stay home and watch re-runs’..” It shows a true partnership and pride in your relationship.

Let it be (A)uthentic: It is important that we learn to understand where others are coming from and why they feel the way they do as long as they have a valid argument to back it up. BAD girls don’t support an argument made just for argument’s sake. If someone is trying to combat you just so they can TRY and prove you wrong then you need to let them know it’s not happening. If you genuinely can’t see where someone is coming from because they have no substantial claim or evidence then its up to you to stand your ground. Tell them their argument is not valid and to prove it, provide examples, etc. They will most likely fail at this and guess what? You win!

Let it be (D)etermined to Last: If you haven’t done so already then you need to learn to C O M P R O M I S E. It’s essential for all relationships, but most importantly a male/female relationship. Clearly a guy and a girl will want to do diff things. So yes, you may want to watch BGC on Tuesday nights and he may want to watch Supercars- work it out so that you both can be happy. Rotate weeks as to who gets to watch their show first and who hast to catch a re-run.
