I actually heard a great quote about this subject. It’s in a Woody Allen movie he says: “A relationship is like a shark, it has to constantly move foreward or it dies.”

To me, a lot of the fun of a relationship is finding out about the other person. If there’s nothing to find out about, it’s a drag. Don’t be joined at the hip. In other words, have some different interests, friends and activities than your partner. That way, you have something to talk about, you’re interesting.

I’ve had my man hooked onto me for about 7 years now, which is surprising for me because he is charming tall handsome type who can easily move onto another woman.
As lame and cheesey as this sounds, knowing yourself and staying true to yourself is a big thing to keeping him interested. That was what attracted him to you in the first place.
Secondly, don’t whore your personal info, feelings, thoughts and history with him too soon. It’s really important to keep him wanting to find out more about you as time goes on. That also means not calling him all the time just to talk about your day. In fact, don’t call him everyday.
Sex is really important. Keep to your brazilians or shaving often. Wear your makeup and look your best. He’s hooked when he knows other men want you.
Also, don’t talk like a bimbo and avoid overusing words such as “like” or “whatever”. Read something and make interesting conversation.
Those things helped me keep the man I love for a loooong time!

its rare i have come too find a girl or woman can challenge me positively in a intellectual manner. i have these conversations regarding life, philosophy, religion, god?, psychology, and others with friends. i have yet, met one girl too be able too keep up and run with it. sexual appeal diminishes in time. its a given fact. its the first thing as human beings, we acknowledge attractiveness in the opposite sex. a girl that can challenge me intellectually in a positive manner leaves an impression and doesn’t have too worry about losing her man. she knows she has him hooked. make up is passehh. its good a girl keeps it together and works on looking good (up dressing) but that isn’t as important as intelligence. sex appeal is fine but if a girl can’t challenge me, make me marvel how she thinks, i will lose interest sooner or later. i don’t want to hear about Brad Pitt has how many kids, or who in Hollywood is dating who. they are rich already. i am concerned with my life, the girl in my life. if tv conversation is what a girl talks about i’ll find myself heading for the hills. that & people getting too comfortable. i hear the lyrics too the song “comfortable” - Lil Wayne feat. Babyface - “if you don’t love me, somebody else will but don’t you ever get too comfortable.” A girl once asked me would i break up if a girl let herself go in a relationship & i shocked her when i told her i would. she said it was mean. I workout, i fight amateur boxing, eat healthy, and looking into a possible career in fitness training or foot & nutritionist. for a female to not share such an interest say for example, if i ask her too come too a gym the odd time with me, yeah i would lose my feeling of connection. again, everything relates too communication be it in sex, romance, pet peeves. for example, i saw a topic in cosmo about male wasn’t doing it for a girl in their 3yr relationship. 3 YRS? you would think it would have got discussed after repetition of the same results. its utter stupidity too go about anything with the same actions when getting the same results. i am fortunate to have happily married parents (not that there is anything wrong other wise). my point of reference is that i learned the importance of communication. the problem with not speaking up, things come too a head, and when things build up, people over react. a little communication is a savior.

Jamestown i love your whole comment…i absolutely agree with you! communication is the glue in a relationship..my parents are also still married and i attribute that to good open communication all the time and rationally talking things out..not screaming at each other, because when you scream the other person just tunes you out and you don’t accomplish anything
and AllyChick…i also agree with you…i love nothing more then looking pretty and feeling good for my bf..it’s fun to change things up
and Tuscanguy i ALSO agree with you…not being attached at the hip all the time is great for keeping things fresh and exciting/engaging
