Yesterday my friend Jay X and I shared a lovely conversation on relationships and the advice we gave each other.. Here's our top three tips:
1. Have no expectations and I won't be disappointed, but if I must, have realistic expectations. My one golden rule is simply that we have mutual respect. As for the rest, surprise me!
2. Love and respect thyself. At the age of twelve, I made a promise to myself that I would not have a boyfriend until I learned to do just this, and until I am confident enough to say "no" for the right reasons. I'm sure glad I made that promise! It gave all the time to find myself, find courage and that little bit of independence.
3. But don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should all remain in protective cocoons all our life. Have faith and take risks, just remember there are no guarantees. So take that leap of faith and always consult your conscience!
If you could say one thing to a friend on successful relationships, what would it be?
