What are the biggest mistakes a girl could make in a relationship?

I am talking about the very early stages of a romantic relationship. Besides the very obvious anwers (too needy, clingy,constantly phoning/texting) what are some of the mistakes that a girl could unknowingly do in the beginning of a relationship to drive her man away?

Progressing the relationship in your mind without communicating to your partner.

 

Being really jealous , getting upset at everything your guy watches or looks at or who he talks to .

 

Not giving him enough him time.

 

Disregarding or invalidating his opinions and feelings.

 

Talking about exs .

 

 

Not being yourself. Not having your own life and your own things.

Take the time and listen to what he or she is saying. That's how you learn about that person and when you do that, you can gauge the kind of person they are and you'll get a better idea if it's a relationship worth pursuing. The little stuff like his or her likes/dislikes in food, movies, hobbies are as important as his or her views on politics, religion and things that are personal to them.

 

Then if the relationship is something that you feel is worth keeping and there's a chance that it can blossom into something serious, the IMO, the two biggies are

 

1. Don't lie to him or her. If you have a problem with what he or she is doing, talk to them about it. Their not mind readers so how are they going to know their doing something that is bothering you if you don't speak up. Do it in a way where it's not brow beating or ignorant. In other words talk out the problem in a adult way and remember that it's also a two way street so if he or she needs to clear the air, let them just as long as it's done in a proper way. To not say anything and lie only makes the problem worse.

 

2. Don't cheat. This goes hand in glove with #1 above. If your not happy in your relationship and you feel you need to move on, TELL HIM how you feel and that you need to move on. Will he be mad? Yeah he will and will he be hurt? You bet. Put the shoe on the other foot when think about how you would feel if he said that to you, so choose your words. I know it's not easy to tell someone that you want to break up with them because most people don't want to hurt anyone intentionally but it's a whole lot better than having him find out on the street that your cheating on him. When you do that, in time when he's not upset any longer, he will still have respect for you for being honest with him. Not only that but when you cheat, word gets around that your a person who can't be trusted and you integrity goes down the drain.

 

Now we both know that none of us walks on water so when you make a mistake, it's not weakness to say that your sorry and mean it. A lot of people have a hard time taking blame for something they did wrong. It's much easier to put the blame on something else or someone else. If you committed the mistake, take ownership of it. When you do that, it's a whole lot easier to forgive that person. There's a bunch more but these are the things I feel are important. Good luck in your new relationship and I hope the best for you.

I am talking about the very early stages of a romantic relationship. Besides the very obvious anwers (too needy, clingy,constantly phoning/texting) what are some of the mistakes that a girl could unknowingly do in the beginning of a relationship to drive her man away?

1) Being overly jealous and constantly looking at his cell phone

2) Constantly compare him to an ex bf

4) Not taking care of herself

5) Make no effort in getting along with the man's parents esp. the mother

6) Never once inviting the guy on a date and he's always paying even after many months passed by

Talking about an ex by any stretch of the imagination, whether in a positive light (especially in a positive light) or negative light is a one way trip to dumpsville.

IF somehow a scientific test could be administered to give clear answers to this question, I think that science would show that merely not believing in herself would be at or near the very top.

 

(and some of that intersects with the impulse to fret over every single little thing being fodder for driving her man away )

 

The more confidence about yourself which you can find or fake, the less cause for concern you'll have in the area of driving your man away.
