I remember some things that Dr Barbara De Angelis used to say in her book on relationships;

1. Don't come in her life to solve her problems. She may be just tring to vent and just wants you to listen.

2. Don't be boring. That is the biggest poison pill men have.

3. Respect her as much as you would want her to respect you.

4. Clean up after yourself. My mother used to always say she hated a lazy man.

5. Don't take a woman on a date if you have no money. Ugh!!!

6. Reassure her that everything is going to be fine when she is going through rough spots. She will thank you for it.

7.Biggest and most important thing: Let her have some freedom and don't control her. She will start to dislike you, which will turn into hate.

JMO of course.
