All these new couples walking around all in love, let me give you some advice from a single persons perspective. Firstly they involve lots of communication about the tiniest things, now this may seem very simple at first, that is until someone gets annoyed by something trivial once that occurs, may the lord have mercy upon your souls. Emotions are something that can never be suppressed because at one point at another it will come out, it's better to talk about all the problems right off the bat, it's better to go to sleep without any quarrels than to have them become brawls in the future. The only thing more annoying than a small discussion about a trivial problem is better than and argument weeks later about a trivial problem. Besides discussing problems it is important that you always tell your partner about anything that bring you down. Why? Because believe it or not they care enough about you to the point where they are considering you as a potential long term partner so it's good to be supportive of one another in your times of need right from the start this also means be supportive of their dreams and decisions even if you hate the idea, as long as it's illegal, waste of income, dangerous or has a high risk with little gain or high risk in general. It is also highly recommended that you always express your joy and happiness. Of course all of the mentioned above have a time and place when one should share them. Secondly we have investment. That's right you are investing when you are in a relationship. I'm not talking about giving expensive gifts to get in their pants, I'm talking about investing time, money and being emotionally invested. If before you had a lot of empty time on your hands, expect some of that time to be taken up by this new relationship, for those who frequently did things either for work, school, socializing or other pass times get ready to sacrifice some things you do for your relationship, you can probably continue doing everything you used to do, but expect to do some less frequently. While your spending time with your partner expect to invest money in the relationship, dinner, gas and other commodities aren't free so make sure you have some cash for when you decide to go on dates or decide to socialize outside the home. Lastly in investments there are emotions, you are making yourself vulnerable when you date someone, it's expected that you and your partner become intimate so you will put your emotions out there where they may or may not be collateral. Be prepared but don't avoid becoming intimate because that will damage the relationship ending the same if you had placed your emotions out there. Thirdly and most importantly don't be an assholes. Don't be that annoying couple that ruins everything for others who were kind enough to invite the both of you to a social gathering, also don't ruin other people's days by being overly displaying affection, we single people start to feel sad and lonely because we have emotions as well. Remember most things are good in moderation. Also never invite a single person as a third wheel, that's just cruel.
