I've been to so many boyfriend girlfriend relationship. In fact in my 27 years of existence on Earth, I've been to relationship with 10 different guys. Most of them never last that long. I mean some of those relationships last only for months or even days. Right now I am proud to say that I have a relationship with a single man for more than a year. In fact, we will be celebrating our 6th year anniversary as partner (boyfriend girlfriend thing)this year. At first, I thought I could not keep a relationship that last for a year. Now I am convince that I am capable of having a relationship for good. My secret for a longer relationship are the following, to wit: for girls, better say yes to a man who has bigger love to you than you to him; be honest all the time; never cheat; always keep communication open; be open minded; treat your girlfriend or boyfriend like yourself; and make each other like the first day of your relationship.
How about you guys, I know you have more secrets for a longer relationship. Lets share so that we can help those who wants to have a relationship for good.

hi, before we get married of my husband, i think we are 3 years of the boyfriend/girlfriend life. I think the secret of that is open communication to each others. You have to always say what you feel and what you think. For us, it is the best tool for our relationship. And now we will celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary next month and hoping for it to last until the end. We make time to each other to talk about things and we share opinions and we always love to do what others want and vice versa. it is a like of a give and take relationship.

To be honest, you have to be compatible with that person. You can't just walk into a bookstore, find a single guy/girl, and expect to have a long relationship with them.
I like to think that you and your significant other should be best friends. It doesn't have to be "friends first" - my boyfriend and I hardly knew each other when I first liked him. but through the course of the relationship, he has become my best friend. And he will always be one of my best friends.
but don't expect to be dating someone who you can't even be friends with. That probably won't work.

Yes, I totally agree with you. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years now. And same as you, I chose him because his love towards me is bigger than mine. It makes me feel secure and less worry. Never cheat is a must. And yes, open communication is a solid key for a longer relationship. Talk to him when you are happy or not happy.

If you want a lasting relationship, you have to be empathetic. Don't make everything about you. Consider your partner's feelings. Never let things go that bother you. Always communicate. Let your little light shine. Love yourself first before you desire the love of someone else.

If women want their boyfriend girlfriend relationship to last long they need to stop acting like if they are insecure and needy
