Problem: How to maintain a vibrant romance
Try your hand at a new recipe.
Even if you don't cook often you can pick out an interesting recipe and surprise her with your new culinary skills. You guys out there should not underestimate what you could do with this idea. OPTIONS:
- Most recipes are written well enough so that even a novice can follow the directions. You will make her feel real special if you take the effort to actually " wine and dine " her.
- Don't force yourself to try new things just for the sake of a romance-this will show her that you've been trying to improve your cooking skills, but are not yet willing to try something completely new. Give her a compliment, and have a touch up at least once every few days.
- Try trying out a new recipe to see which ideas and dishes don't stick out the most. Opt to try something new! And don't just start cooking the recipe as a week phase.
- Ask your friends if they're aware of any new recipes you're trying. For the first few months, let her have some idea of what changes to plan for the evening.

Answer: Most recipes are written well enough so that even a novice can follow the directions. You will make her feel real special if you take the effort to actually " wine and dine " her.

Problem: How to compromise
Step into the other person's shoes.
Before you begin negotiations, it's important to know where each person stands on the issue. Try to see things from the other person's point-of-view by stepping into their shoes. OPTIONS:
- Envision what the experience is like for the other person and what may be driving their actions. Let's say you want to go for a month long vacation during the summer, but your partner prefers to take smaller vacations throughout the year.
- It's not enough to simply argue about the point, but also get a better idea of what you stand to gain by doing so. Even if you agree to compromise, you need to be open and patient-waiting until you're getting an agreement in writing to go forward is a no frills method.
- It is easy to get caught up in the pressure of negotiation, and asking about the people's problems will end up hurting the other person in the long run. However, it is also wise to strive for courtesy in a world where deference and politeness are required.
- You'll be a better judge of the person's change than someone else and can catch the issue in its very best light. Before you go into an agreement, make sure that you know where you stand.
