3 Relationship Myths to Forget

1. Love means never saying sorry. Saying sorry and admitting that you're wrong when you really is would help to build trust

2. They should read my mind. Don't just assume that your partner knows your need even without saying it out loud. You need to speak your needs and do it kindly like “ I feel lonely”.

3. Fighting is a bad relationship. The truth is, conflicts, if handled well, strengthen the bonds so greatly.

7 Steps to Build Stronger Bonds

You should always put your phone down when in a discussion to show that your partner matters and always make Make eye contact.

There is no perfect relationship and no relationship without arguments. What matters is saying sorry after the argument like “I’m sorry I yelled at you”. Always hug each for at least 20+ seconds as it helps to strengthen bonds.

Building a relationship requires mutual respect and patience from those involved. In my opinion, we should learn to be open, to be honest and to listen to one another. Nobody is perfect and that's why we need to accept each other’s differences because that is what makes the bond stronger.

Introduce yourselves properly with "Pleased to meet you." – get to know one another by maybe sitting down to a cuppa and have a talk sharing personal interests and see if anything in common.
Gain trust first and know each other well enough before thinking about a date.
After the first date you don't kiss yet – just the handshake.
Then maybe from the second date onwards you may consider sharing a kiss.
It doesn't really matter whether it's a male and female (straight), or if it's two males (gay), or if it's two females (lesbian) – all depends on feelings of interests and we all gotta respect that.

If interested – you can consider moving onto the next steps while creating and developing the relationship further as you go along.

If not interested – respectfully call it a day with "Okay, you have a nice day, see you." then move on.
