If youâve been following the relationship and dating ârulesâ you hear in rom-coms and read in womenâs magazines, you're probably still single because relationship advice is for suckers. Here's the love advice everyone should ignore:
âRelationships take hard work.â The toughest decision a new couple has to make is where to eat dinner, so, no, it shouldn't take hard work. A new romance should be easy. When life gets rocky and real later on, thatâs when itâs hard work.
âYou have to love yourself first.â While being happy with yourself is important, you don't have to love the way your butt looks in skinny jeans (or have your entire life figured out!) before you meet someone.
âYour partner should be your best friend.â Your partner doesn't have to be your everything. It's okay to go to your best friends for advice and have a S.O. who complements you instead of âcompleting you.â
âNever go to bed angry.â Sleep makes everything better; fighting until the wee hours doesnât.
âWhen the right person comes along, you just know.â You feel that bolt of lightning when love strikes, but you might not âknowâ how you feel until you really get to know someone. Donât wait to know âright away,â or you could be waiting forever.
