Sure Fire Ways of Successful Relationship
1. Communication
When we think of communicating we often think of talking. In order to effectively communicate we must not just talk but LISTEN. Take the time to actively listen to what is being said to you. When someone is talking to you focus on what is being said to you…Think about it, repeat it for clarity, and then respond. Communicating is more than debating, giving orders, making accusations, or ranting. Communication is a way to open up dialogue to discuss our feelings, desires, frustrations, and thoughts. Failure to communicate leads to dissension, resentment, misunderstandings, and a build up of negativity. Good open honest communication is key to relationships.
“Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”
2. The Golden Rule
Treat people the way you want to be treated. Be kind, considerate, respectful, patient, honest, and have empathy.
3. Be Supportive
Offer help, assistance, sympathy, and encouragement. To support by definition is: to hold in position so as to keep from falling, sinking, or slipping. To keep from weakening or failing; to strengthen. Relationships require mutual support. It’s like a checks a balance system to keep us from falling or failing. Support in relationships is team work at its best. T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More.
4. Forgive
Let bygones be bygones. Nobody is perfect we all make mistakes. Communicate openly and honestly. If you have an issue discuss it as soon as possible. RESOLVE IT and move on. Holding a grudge hurts you more than it does the person you’re angry with. Relationships with past hurts and mistakes lingering rot from the inside out. Forgive and move on.
5. Take Ownership
If you are wrong admit it. Apologize. Fess up! Take responsibility for your actions or lack thereof.
6. Be Appreciative
A simple thank you goes a long way. Always show and express gratitude for even the smallest gestures.
7. Resist the Urge to Judge
Accept people for who they are without passing judgment.

BP, I know! She had so many bottled up emotions, and I struggled so much and my professor wouldn't help me, he wanted me to figure out on my own. God I spent so many night cursing her, but when I finally got it...I was like AHA it makes so much sense, she's amazing!
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

BB............and this I choose for you
There is a smile and glow upon your face,
A look of bliss that I can almost taste.
You dance with wildness on your lips,
With succulence you sway your hips.
Your breasts move gently under your dress,
Dancing mounds with my lips I wouldst caress.
You are feminine in all your glory,
Filled with mystery and magic, a women's story.

Now you sound like what's his name, angel in the sky,
It's very true though, just typing is very frustrating, 80% of coversation is body language and intonation
Corn...........just for you
Love's not easy on the Internet.
Words alone can be misunderstood.
Love needs eyes and lips and hands to let
The hurt rest easy when the joy feels good.
Lovers can't reach through the opaque screen
To underscore a message with their arms,
To say with touch exactly what they mean
Or give the light caress that anger calms.
Instead, they must rely on faith and trust,
Loving patiently a fleshless soul,
Taking words for kisses 'cause they must,
With full communion their elusive goal.
Be patient, love, and someday soon you'll see
My body tell you what you mean to me.
Who said I was complaining ? I was just stating an observation :P
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
Corn...........there you are complaining about us talking about S/X and you start now on peeing.............my god this threads going down the toilet.....literally
It wasn't too hard ? Are u kidding me ? It was torture getting out of that comfy warm bed...I'm still so tempted to jump back in!
AJ, sorry too late, damnit u should've told me that before!
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
Don't pee on your desk, it makes a mess
And so to the rest of yer day..
[img_assist|nid=54839|title=Perfect !|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
I did! I did! I brushed my teeth, peed, made some coffee and now on my desk...so proud of me! :D
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

[img_assist|nid=54839|title=Perfect !|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
I didn't sleep till 5 am, and don't worry I wasn't out :P
And if u give a bad first impression, u have to do 8 good deeds to change ur boss' mind.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
Corn...............still in bed...........out late last night again...tut tut tut.
Actually, yes I did...........the first encounter, hand shake, eye contact.........thats what counts........tells alot about someone
Talk about anything and it will end up on sex
Thats life !
[img_assist|nid=54839|title=Perfect !|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
good morning BP, I'm still in bed...attempting to get up, though I don't see it happening anytime soon...grrrr...
So how did u get to sex ? ur men! no matter what's talked about, ultimately u get to sex lol.
I agree, try not to jump to conclusions. But did u know that the first 15 seconds of an interview are the most important ? So I guess first impressions do really count.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield
Corne you have a dirty mind, Black Prince was only talking about things men forget to do, right. lol
.[img_assist|nid=54839|title=Perfect !|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Corn..........good morning......apologies for they right turn we took.....how did we get to S/X........never mind.
Point taken about judging people........yes we all do it..........maybe it would be better "dont jump to quick conclusions about people"
ahahahahahaha just my 2 cents!
BB................stop it now...........you are being very, very........suggestive..............have to rush off for a cold shower in a minute
How did ways of forgiving, listening, etc turn into moans during sex ?? Geez! lol
Anyways, back to the post...there's no such thing as "don't judge people", everyone judges!It's just human nature.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Good Morning Mr. Paul..............you got that bang on, some words people just cant get over their lips.......but then again a beer always fits better to the lips
Pity more people dont admit when they are wrong..(especially on QL)
[img_assist|nid=54839|title=Perfect !|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Nice one Blue...............as I have said before there is a difference between hearing and listening
Hearing is done by the ears
Listening is done by the brain
just want to share it with you guys...hope we can learn something from this.
