    I've been married for almost 26 years so any information I might have had on relationships has been brain washed out of me. Even my relationship vocabulary has been pared down to two words......"Yes Dear"

    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    It seems best when one is the boss.Disputes should be discussed without violence or hollaring.Looks will fade,your and hers.Too much alcohol on either part is bad unless your both happy drunks.Self doubts will be sensed by the other and without confidence in yourself,one may get sick with jealously.Always call if your delayed ,help out with the housekeeping and cooking,Leave the tv off for a day or more a week,Go camping or some other activity you both enjoy often.Be sure your halfway compatable from the start.[Im an avid deer hunter so alot of woman couldnt live with that ect.Dont forget birthdays,anniversarys,and be sure they will provide all your perverted[or not] needs even though thatll probably come to a screechin holt when you say,I DO!

    What could possibly be more survival related than the survival of a relationship? Hey, remember the things you love about each other...remember that bearing a grudge is like allowing yourself to be stung over and over by the same bee.....

    I don't know...good luck
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Well this is my second go around. Still a newly wed with this one only knew each other for nine months then got married. Kinda learn as you go. We argue at times, get on each others nerves at times, don't agree at times, and have different hobbies. It takes work and as I said I'm still learning. It's all about give and take, compromise, and love. The good greatly outweighs the bad and even the bad isn't all that bad. I liked being single but I love being married. Good luck.

    I've never settled down and don't plan to for a while yet. However women always appreciate commonsense respect and chivalry. I've had many numbers exchanged by just offering my bar stool to a standing female.

    Relationships are the most important thing in our lives. What else is there that truly means anything? If you're willing to give more than take then you're ready. Of course, I've got about 9,000 more words on the subject but that's the most important thing I could think of.

    Uh, guys. Tacticalguy is only 13 years old. I don't think he's planning on marriage just yet.

    At the age you're at, I would suggest the following:
    Make her laugh
    Pick on her but make sure that she know your playing without having to tell her (keeps things fun)
    Chase her and then let her chase you (Romantically and etc... Keeps things fun and interesting)
    Do fun things together like bowling or walking around the mall (Movies don't really let you have time to talk to each other)
    If you look each other in the eyes for a couple of seconds, kiss her.

    It's easy to give this all of this advice that has been posted, but it can be hard to actually follow the advice.

    But most importantly, both of yall are still young. You still have a lot to learn but the journey may be by yourself. You still have a lot to grow into. That's life.

    TWO WEEKS??? That ain't a relationship, just an extra long weekend. I would advise all the variety you can become acquainted with, many, many ladies so you can have some experience before you get like me, don't even say "Yes Dear". After 44+ years I just go ahead and do whatever.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    First, set some ground rules. 1: Never go to bed mad at each other.
    2: No topic of conversation is forbiden. 3: Fell free to converse passionately without getting into personal attacks. 4: ask lots of questions of each other, find out what you have in common what you don't, what you are passionate about, what you are ambivalint about. 5: most of all , LISTEN to each other and HEAR what they are saying.
    You want to be friends as well as lovers. This way even if it doesn't work out you will still be friends.
    I know what hunts you.

    As RX said - Tacticalguy, while seemingly mature for his age, shared in his introduction
    Thanks, well I am 13 yrs old.
    Those that can remember what it was like to be that age may want to tailor their advice accordingly.

    Tacticalguy - my post was not meant to be disrespectful, but rather get you the best advice that you can get. I hope you understand.
