Romance seems to be a thing of the past. Relationships are formed as easily as they're broken. What does a guy do in order to prevent his relationship from falling apart? This article will provide some insight on how you can keep the relationship alive.
"What does she want from me? Romance? Sensitivity?" lamented Eric, in exasperation. Recently, this adorable roommate befriended a young gal through the Internet and proceeded to proclaim to everyone that he had found his one and only true love. Frankly speaking, Eric is a nice guy other than his constant nonsensical banter about applying for a HDB flat with his current girlfriend. Hmm... he is tolerable. However, at this present moment, Eric is facing the biggest challenge of his love life. In order to help this inconsolable buddy of mine, I came up with a few solutions. I recommended that he could write to Auntie Agony about his problem or he could simply forget about the whole thing and get on with his 'miserable' life.
Judging by the way he tried to tie a rope around my neck, I guessed my recommendations were not very well received. A few weeks later, news filtered through that Eric had broken up with his girlfriend. My dear friend was heartbroken. He could not fathom where he had gone wrong. At this moment of time, if you think Eric is a guy who takes things lying down then, you're wrong. He is determined to make sure that his next love affair will be a much better one than his previous one. In order to fulfill this aspiration of his, he had listed out a few important points.
A man must know how to cook
Cooking is no longer the chore of a woman. Guys today are expected to cook as well as a woman. Even the government is recognizing this or else how do you explain the fact that guys have to take up home economics when they are in secondary school. They used to say, "to capture a man's heart, you must first conquer his stomach." In this 20th century, this theory works both ways. My few female friends had confided that they found guys wearing an apron and whipping up a sumptuous meal especially 'appetizing' to them. If you do not know how to cook, have no fear as the community center is just around the corner. You can always sign up for cooking classes and learn the fine art of cooking.
A man must know his flowers
Flower is a necessity in any relationship. It is just like the arrow of cupid that shoots straight into her heart. No matter how unwilling she is towards accepting your flower, prepare to be crucified if you miss sending her flowers on an important occasion. You must also know the meaning behind certain flowers. It must be very economical and creative to send her yellow roses on Valentin's Day but you may also find yourself spending the rest of the Valentine's Day alone because yellow roses symbolize break-up.
A man must know his geography
Once again, Singapore education has prepared most of us in our quest for the opposite sex. Singapore is a very small island and it is inevitable that all 'romantic' places will be infested with lovers. However, if you really run out of ideas, you can always take a leaf out of your parents' book and bring her to the old and trustworthy East Coast Park. For those who are more adventurous, there are numerous islands off the shore of Singapore that you can explore. My recommendation will be Sister Island, which is a small and scenic island where you can spend the whole day along with your other half without the constant disturbance of other couples.
A man must know tolerance
Guys must understand gals' peculiar habits of flaring at them. Sometimes, girls are so temperamental that they're simply unpredictable. No matter how ridiculous the matter is or how unreasonable she is, the guy must try to understand his gal's habits and try to work things out nicely. Who knows the guy may have overlooked certain aspects or annoyed his girl in some ways! Of course, there's also the possibility that the gal might have been in the wrong. But that's how relationships are like, they run like the tides... sometimes, high tides... at times, low tides.
A man must know his gal
This is the most important aspect in maintaining a relationship. Guys must treat this seriously. Along the way, they will be tested continuously on their knowledge and if found unsatisfactory, they will be 'punished' by the horrendous task of pacifying the gals until the gals are satisfied with their performance. This is no mean task, as it requires all their vigilance and determination. However, guys do not need to be discouraged, as allowances will be given for the first few mistakes. There are no ten-year series or old exam papers but good performances will ensure that there are no quarrels for the rest of the day.
