Sometimes, to get a better understanding of what you want in a relationship, it's best to inform yourself on what you don't want. Figuring out what you want can be tricky, but, usually, you know exactly what you don't want. Sit down and put together a list of criteria that would disqualify a potential match first. Research shows that common deal-breakers for those interested in long-term relationship are: Having anger issues or exhibiting abusive behaviors Dating several people at once Being unworthy of trust Being already in a relationship or married Having health issues like an STD Having a drug or alcohol problem Being inattentive Having poor hygiene You can think of your personal values as a roadmap detailing the sort of life you'd like to lead. It's unlikely to think that a romantic partner will share all the same values as you. However, it's important for you to know what yours are so that you can know which principles and beliefs you are not willing to compromise. For example, if you think honesty is really important, you are unlikely to mesh well with a partner who lies. What's more, it's likely to cause a rift in the relationship if your partner expects you to lie. Find out your core values by answering these questions and looking for reoccurring themes: If you could change something about the community you live in, what would it be? Why? Who are the two people you respect or admire the most? What traits do you admire about these people? If your home caught on fire and all the living beings were safely out, what three items would you choose to rescue? Why? Which moment in your life made you feel very satisfied? What happened to make you feel that way? Think back on relationships you have had in the pastwhether romantic, platonic, or familial. For those relationships that ended badly, consider the factors that contributed to the relationship dissolving. What about those relationships left you dissatisfied or unhappy? Write down any negative patterns you can uncover from your relationships with past lovers, friends, or family members that did not fulfill you. Consider these problem areas as a foundation for what you don't want in the future. Others' relationships affect you, too. Surely, you have spent time with friends or family members who were in romantic relationships. Even though you were on the outside, you may have been aware of issues these individuals experienced. For example, maybe your sister was devastated after her boyfriend cheated. You helping her through this time made you aware of how important it is to be faithful in a relationship. Take note of any such red flags from others' relationships that you don't want to have happen in yours. Learning from the mistakes of others may help you to enjoy a more satisfying relationship in the future.

Summary: Develop a list of non-negotiables. Figure out the personal values you don't want to compromise. Consider any previous relationship patterns. Think about any issues you have noticed in the relationships around you.

Knees should be bent. Start slowly, at first, for safety. If you want to turn clockwise, you will be sliding on your left foot. If you want to turn counterclockwise, you will be sliding on your right foot. Your foot should be perpendicular to the direction you are traveling. This will create friction against the floor. Hold this position until you come to a stop. Straighten the leg and angle the wheels so they slide on the floor. This friction is what will cause you to stop. Keep the other leg bent at the knees as the skate rotates approximately 180 degrees. All your weight should be on this leg.

Summary: Take a few strides forward to pick up a little speed. Pick a direction to turn that feels the most natural. Turn your body until the sliding foot is in front of you.

On most flights, you are only allowed to drink alcohol that is served by the airline. For example, Federal Aviation Administration regulations in the United States prohibit the consumption of alcohol on board unless it is served by the airline. This means it is a direct violation of federal regulations to drink alcohol you take on board in your carryon luggage. Federal regulators set standards for the amount of liquids, gels, and aerosols that passengers can take on board in their carry on luggage. For U.S. flights, the Federal Aviation Administration requires that liquids, including alcohol, be in containers that are no more than 100 milliliters or 3.4 ounces in volume. These containers must all fit into a 1-quart-sized resealable plastic bag. Duty-free alcohol purchased internationally can be carried on board inbound international flights to the United States. The alcohol can be in containers larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters if packed in a secure, transparent, tamper-evident bag by the retailer. The purchase must have been made within the last 48 hours, and you must have the original receipt present during your flight. If you have a connecting flight after reentering the U.S., however, you will have to go through security again and the duty-free alcohol will then be subject to the 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliter regulation for liquids in carryon luggage.
Summary: Understand you can only drink alcohol served by the air carrier. Make sure your alcohol meets quantity restrictions for liquids in carryon luggage. Understand the rules for duty-free alcohol.
