The 411 on relationships by Connie Morris
In a relationship there is the good, the bad and, of course, the gripes. Every now and then a person may need some advice on how to make a relationship better, or how to make the decisions to continue it or not. A person sometimes needs to know how to be in a certain circumstances, but others need to know what the person like or dislike about them so they can make it better. A recent survey was done throughout one hundred high schools pertaining to, what characteristics a person likes in order to form a relationship with them. The following are some of the most popular features female find attractive in males:understanding, sensitive, pretty eyes romantic, nice body, nice smile, similar tastes, athletic, smart, nice,and funny. Here are some of the most popular features that males find to be a plus in females:friendly, romantic, nice body, understanding, similar taste, funny, smart, rich, cute, pretty eyes,and willingness to go all the way. The most popular dislikes about females is that they are too snobby. Some of the other dislikes include applying makeup in public, obsessing over diets, and always thinking they are right. Another survey shows that 61 % of guys do not like body piercing in girls. This gives the average rate of a female an 8.5. The most popular dislikes abut guy is that they are cheaters. Some of the others include they are insensitive, immature, and they are obsessed with sex. This gives the average male a rate of7.6. Another important question to know is if you have the right person or not.

If you do have the right person here are some things that, the person may do. -Stare -give compliments daily - turn speechless -good communication -tease you -ask your friends about you -go places you do -share prizes possessions Another problem a relationship may have is a boring one. Ifyou are in a routine relationship, then maybe you need to try to do something different. It helps when you go places different then the usual, and it does not have to cost a lot either. Here are some ideas you may want to consider. -Take a class together. -Go to a playground and act like kids. Bake cookies together. -Do your chores with each other. -Go bowling. -Learn to play a sport together. -Put a puzzle together. -Have a picnic, throw a fr is bee, fly a kite, look at the clouds. -Learn to eat with chopsticks. -Spend the day at miniature golf coarse.
