Our lives are made infinitely richer by our relationships. I love finding ways to strengthen them at home, at work, and with friends. Some of us female types have a way with words, knowing innately how to communicate with our boyfriends in a cute, flirtatious way. The rest of us have to work at it.

You can either text these lines to him after a date, or say it straight. Use these lines at the appropriate moment, when your guy does something sweet for you. As.

When you first start dating someone, it can feel like you want to tell each other everything. Whether you’re out on a date, or lying in bed texting until 2 a. But eventually, there will be things you should tell your new partner that don’t come out as easily, and aren’t as much fun to talk about. While it’s always OK to keep some parts of your life private, there are certain things you’ll need to share, especially if you see this relationship going somewhere.

You don’t have to delve deep during your first date, or even during your first few months together. But eventually, you should consider telling each other about the tough stuff, like health problems and family issues. It can be tricky at first, especially if you’re worried about your significant other’s reaction. But the more open you can be, the better your relationship will be.
