Every year I have the pleasure in helping many hundreds of couples with many different issues that they may wish to resolve in their relationships. These issues tend to range from and anything like jealousy to infidelity. But the biggest problem that I find my clients encounter is a problem with communicating! So what with the run up to St Valentine’s Day I wanted to put together a few tips to keep the passion in your partnership and to keep the communication friendly! Before we begin you need to understand that typically, men and woman use two different language patterns.

First of all, men tend to be much more logical in their thoughts and in their communication. Women on the other hand, tend to come from a more emotional stand point. Please don’t shoot me done for this observation – I don’t write the rules!

OK so here are my tips;

1. Be respectful of each others beliefs and opinions, this is really vital when you know that things may get heated and blow out of control. This is extremely important as arguments where you both feel that you are right, rarely get resolved easily and bad feelings could linger for a while.

2. Remember that a quick hug or a kiss on the cheek is also communication! It doesn’t just involve talking, sometimes a hug or a kiss says so much more than words. Also any positive gesture is a great push in the right direction too.

3. Try and have times when you can sit down and share some of your disagreements, do this in an orderly fashion making sure that both of you have more than enough time to get you views across. Do this often and if should cut down the spontaneous disagreements that you may have.

So there you have it, three very simple tips that are a great start to achieving some huge results in your relationship. This is a start, so remember you can build on what you have learnt here and make your relationship great. Remember that St Valentine’s Day in for lovers to celebrate each other and also to appreciate each other. Why not make this year special for each other and for your relationship.

I really hope that you have enjoyed what I have put together for you here and really enjoy putting it in to good use in getting the life and relationship of your dreams for both you and your partner.

Going on a first date with a woman can be a nerve wracking experience.

While you want to impress a girl, you also have to make sure you’re not appearing to be too overeager.

The one mistake guys make is to bring a woman to a fancy restaurant and buy expensive gifts. Unfortunately this does nothing to build attraction. Instead it creates too much pressure and makes her feel uncomfortable.

So instead of blowing tons of money on your first date, you should focus on trying to think of first date ideas which are both memorable and fun. What you want to is to think of activities that’ll allow you to establish an emotional and physical connection. If you both have a good time, then you can go on a second date that is more *standard*- like going to a restaurant.

In the next few paragraphs, I’ll cover three first date ideas you can use which are both fun and exciting.

First date idea #1- Meet for drinks or coffee

While meeting for drinks or coffee is another *standard* date that many people use, it’s still pretty effective. When you do this, you’re able to meet a woman in a casual manner, without the pressure of facing each other from across a table.

What I like about meeting for drinks or coffee is you’re within a distance to establish contact. This means you’re able to flirt and emphasize different things during your conversation, which helps to build attraction.

First date idea #2- Play games

Another great place to bring a woman on a date is to a place where you can play games like a pool hall, miniature golf, the boardwalk or a video arcade.

What I love about playing games on a first date is you’re able to avoid the pressures that often come with meeting up for the first time. You can have fun while being competitive and behaving in a playful manner.

First date idea #3- Get physical

Okay when I say *get physical*, I’m not talking about sex (yet). Instead I think a great first date idea is to bring her someplace where you’re able to engage in an exercise activity.

Whether you’re going for a hike, rollerblading or ice skating, engaging in a physical activity can be fun. It’s also a good first date idea because taking her to these venues is a great way to gauge if your woman has an adventurous spirit.

All three of these first date ideas are a great way stand out from other guys. They can be fun without feeling the pressures of the *job interview* type dates.

Just remember to work on building attraction and work towards securing future dates. If you do your job right, you can easily set up another date and start working towards building intimacy.
