Relationship Advice From A Single Person
Hi. My name is Cambria Evans and I'm single. My friends are always coming to me and talking about their boyfriends. Somehow, I like to think of myself as an expert on relationships, despite the fact that I've never been in one before. But in all seriousness, single people are the best to get relationship advice from because they are more observant of people. So, just for fun, here is some of my advice.
1. Take It Slow
Don't start talking about moving in together and marriage when you're only been dating for less than 3 months. Don't start planning for a future that might not even happen. You're young. You guys are still getting to know each other. It's way too early to start talking about these things.
2. Do Your Own Thing
It's important that everyone has their own thing to do. Writing, photography, filmmaking, etc.I personally believe that couples shouldn't get involved in each other hobbies. If one person is a YouTuber and the other is not, I would recommend not getting involved until you've been in a relationship for a long period of time or if the other person asks you to get involved.
3. Don't Talk Everyday
I don't know about you, but I'm really not a fan of talking to people every day. I don't care if you're my mom or my best friend. Talking to someone every hour of every day can be exhausting. I honestly recommend not talking to each other every day, but that's just me. How can you have anything to talk to each other about if you're talking every day?
4. Trust Each Other
Don't freak out if your partner doesn't want to give you their phone or passwords to all of their social media. I'm not a relationship expert, but I'm pretty sure that there isn't a rule that says that you have to always see the other persons phone. Trust each other. Unless the other person is beginning to act shady, then yeah, you should probably be investigating that.
5. Don't Talk About The Ex
This should be obvious. Do not say stuff like, "Well my ex did this' or "My ex would never have done that". No one wants to hear about your previous boyfriend or girlfriend. If your ex was so great then get back with them, but that probably won't happen because the two of you broke up for a reason. Don't compare your current boyfriend or girlfriend to the old one. This will just make them feel insecure and they will feel as if they're in a competition. Focus on the person that you're with now.
6. Talk To Each Other
Girls (and guys), if something is wrong, say something! It's really not that hard. Don't say that you're fine when you obviously aren't. It'll just make matters worse. Believe me, you will save so much time and energy if you say what's wrong when you are asked. No one can read your mind.
7. Be Yourself
This is obviously the most important out of the list. You have to be able to be yourself. If you aren't able to be yourself with your boyfriend or girlfriend, then they are not worth your time or your energy.
This is my relationship advice. Let me remind you, that this is my own opinion. You don't have to take it to heart, but if you do, that's great
