I have identified the following rules to change the approach:1. How fun is it to hang out with someone who only puts themselves down?

If men aren’t interested in you, it probably isn’t because you aren’t a supermodel, it is probably because they can see how you feel about yourself.

Get in the kitchen and whip up a romantic at-home dinner for your woman.

A couple who can respect each others dreams and chase them together is a couple that will have a strong, lasting relationship.4.

I realize that my past experiences have made me who I am today, but I still wish I could go back in time and have a sisterly chat with poor, clueless, "younger me."I could've written three novels, started a business and hiked the Appalachian Trail with all the wasted time and energy.

It's too late for me, but maybe you can learn from what I wish I knew then.1.

Until then, it will just be the same guy with a different name.3.

If you can work on your assertiveness and confidence, you will find a relationship with someone who respects you. A man who genuinely wants to spend time getting to know you will put in the effort.6. OK, this isn't a concrete rule, but the point is that you should not accept a date on Wednesday or Thursday for that weekend.

There's a difference between making something a priority and having an obsession.

They were too emotionally entrenched in the experience and could not see how they were creating some of the dynamics. You will probably see a difference in how people interact with you.2.

I myself was a victim of this until I recognized my part in this process and then I began dating and eventually married a man who treats me the way I deserve. Let go of the self defeating thoughts holding you back.

Here are just a few pieces of relationship advice we're pretty sure your mama didn't give you.1. You know that thing you've always wanted to try, but keep to yourself? Keeping your sex life new and interesting will make you and your partner happier in and out of the bedroom.2. Remember when you first got with your significant other and everything was fun and exciting?

Sex is an integral part of healthy and happy relationships, hence the stress on keeping lines of communication open in the bedroom.
