Do expect him to pay…but dont let him do it every time.
God & Man
Its okay to have these old-school expectations in the beginning.
But understand eventually when youre in a relationship, it kind of just evens after a while.
You pay for something, he does.
God & Man
When youre a team whats yours is theirs and you go back and forth.
Thank youis themost importantword in every relationship.
Do have standards…but dont compare him to people from your past.
Dont make him feel like hes in a competition with some ghost from your past.
Do let him progress naturally…but dont ask him what are you.
I think a lot of people when it comes to dating is a lot more guarded these days.
We want solid answers.
We have dating apps that say yes I like you.
We are a generation that feeds off of immediate gratification but good relationships dont happen that way.
Do expect to be courted…but dont expect it to be so old fashion.
But I know today those expectations are rare.
The equivalent of that is getting a follow-on insta or maybe a like.
Do expect him to meet your parents…but dont drop that on him.
I dont bring a lot of people Iminterestedin around my parents.
To me, thats a big step even if its not to someone else.
But Ill always bring it up in a conversation first before springing that on someone.
Relationships are all about giving 50% and hoping the other person does too.
The second one person does more than that, the scale is off balance and the relationship wont last.
Do expect him to keep plans…dont let him get away with canceling.
Things come up all the time.
But there is a difference between an emergency and an excuse.
Do expect him to show up on time…but dont be late yourself.
Showing up on time is a form of respect.
Asking who every girl is hes talking to shows a deep-rooted insecurity.
Do expect him to listen….but dont be the only one talking.
You were given two ears and one mouth for a reason listen more than you speak.
Do communicate…but dont just text.
Keep your relationship problems between the two of you.
Do make time for him…dont make him the center of your life though.
Relationships should never be your whole life.
Do expect to meet his friends…but dont put them down.
Even if you hate his best friend dont make him choose.
It wont work out in your favor.
Do expect surprises…but surprise him sometimes too.
A relationship is never just about one person and what they want but fulfilling what each person needs.
Do forgive him…but dont let it become a habit.
No one is perfect.
Just like you will mess up he will too.
Do have high standards…dont lower them just because hes interested.
Hold those same standards you have from the start throughout the whole relationship.
