Guys: Chivalry may be dead, but your lady secretly hopes that you’ll be the one to revive it.  No need for jewelry or a fancy dinner.  Small things count.

Examples: 1) Remember something she told you 3 days ago.  2) If she likes milkshakes, get one on your way to see her.  3)  Better yet, watch her favorite show/movie with her.  Take her to see Sex and the City 2, or watch an episode of Gossip Girl with her.  Girls always try to get into stuff their guys like (watching sports, drinking beer, eating certain foods, etc).  It’s your turn to do the same.  At least once.

And you should ALWAYS hold doors open, let her walk first, etc., and just treat her like a lady.  Every type of girl wants this.  Even if she doesn’t say it.  Tough girls, prissy girls, punk girls  – they all want it.

Ladies: You don’t have to spend ALL of your free time with your guy.  In fact, you shouldn’t.  Clinging to him too much will make him feel smothered, and make you feel dependent on him.  Stop being needy and do your own thing.

Both: DON’T FORGET YOUR FRIENDS.  They are part of your “happy” health.  You should see your friends weekly, or at least biweekly.  Surrounding yourself with your friends helps keep you happy and in a good mood.  As does spending time with your mate, but too much time together will exhaust the relationship.  Keep a little space and time apart from each other, so neither of you feels smothered, and you don’t get sick of each other!
