Knowing how to best show your love — whether it’s for a significant 
other, sibling, best friend or parent — can be a heavy task. But it sure
 is worth it. <br />

There’s no guidebook on how to love someone, but that doesn’t mean we
 stop loving. With that in mind, and with Valentine’s Day just around 
the corner, <a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"we asked our Facebook followers","mpid":1,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=790569397677782&id=153213781413350"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=790569397677782&id=153213781413350" target="_hplink">we asked our Facebook followers</a> to tell us one thing anyone who loves a woman — romantically or otherwise — should know. <br />

<strong>According to HuffPost Women readers, here are 21 things every person who loves a woman should know:</strong><br />

1. Without trust, <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"you’ve lost her.","mpid":2,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570327677689&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570327677689&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">you’ve lost her.</a></strong><br />

2. Take the time to <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"understand her for who she really is.","mpid":3,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571441010911&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571441010911&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">understand her for who she really is.</a></strong><br />

3. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Work as hard to keep her","mpid":4,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790573071010748&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790573071010748&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">Work as hard to keep her</a></strong> as you did to win her over. <br />

4. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"You don’t always have to have a solution","mpid":5,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570311011024&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570311011024&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">You don’t always have to have a solution</a></strong>, most of the time you just have to be there for her. <br />

5. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Her body, her choice","mpid":6,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570124344376&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570124344376&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">Her body, her choice</a></strong>. About anything. <br />

6. A <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"sincere apology","mpid":7,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790569734344415&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790569734344415&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">sincere apology</a></strong> goes a long way.  <br />

7. Pay attention to the small parts of conversations because <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"the little things really do make a big difference","mpid":8,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572294344159&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572294344159&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">the little things really <em class="bn-clickable">do</em> make a big difference</a></strong>. <br />

8. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Put her first as much as possible","mpid":9,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571741010881&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571741010881&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">Put her first as much as possible</a></strong> because she most likely always puts <em>you</em> before herself. <br />

9.<strong> Never <em class="bn-clickable">ever</em> ask her if she’s on her period</strong> when she’s angry or emotional. If you do, all that anger will quickly be directed towards you. <br />

10. <strong>She is your equal</strong>. Treat her that way. <br />

11. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Always be honest with her","mpid":12,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571647677557&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571647677557&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">Always be honest with her</a></strong>. Even with the little things. <br />

12. Even if you don’t understand what she’s going through, <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"you need to respect it","mpid":13,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572161010839&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572161010839&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">you need to respect it</a></strong>. Half the battle is just being there for her. <br />

13. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Her true self","mpid":14,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572587677463&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572587677463&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">Her true self</a></strong> — the one no one else gets to see — is absolutely gorgeous. If you think otherwise, get out now. <br />

14. Always, always, <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"always root for her","mpid":15,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571194344269&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790571194344269&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">always root for her</a></strong>. <br />

15. She may <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"go through some changes","mpid":16,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790578677676854&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790578677676854&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">go through some changes</a></strong>, but that doesn’t mean you should stop loving her. <br />

17. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Be patient with her","mpid":18,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570821010973&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570821010973&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">Be patient with her</a></strong>, the way she is with you. <br />

18. The woman she’s become is <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"not necessarily the woman she always was","mpid":19,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570954344293&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790570954344293&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">not necessarily the woman she always was</a></strong>.<br />

19. No matter what happens, <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"be kind","mpid":20,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790584224342966&offset=50&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790584224342966&offset=50&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">be kind</a></strong>. <br />

20. At the end of the day, <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"every woman is different","mpid":21,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790577267676995&offset=0&total_comments=1094"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790577267676995&offset=0&total_comments=1094" target="_hplink">every woman is different</a></strong>. She has her own set of needs, wants and goals. Find out what they are and help her achieve them. <br />

<strong>Lastly, and possibly the most important...</strong> <br />

21. She poops. <strong><a class="bn-clickable" data-beacon="{"p":{"lnid":"Don’t make it weird","mpid":22,"plid":"https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572631010792&offset=0&total_comments=1095"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/HuffPostWomen/posts/790569397677782?comment_id=790572631010792&offset=0&total_comments=1095" target="_hplink">Don’t make it weird</a></strong>.</div>

<h2>
Here are 10 ways to access this love and create an amazing relationship, how to love a woman:</h2>
<h3>
1. Start by loving yourself</h3>
<strong>If you are unable to love yourself, you are unable to love someone else.</strong><br />

This is something that men, particularly, have trouble with. You 
might respect yourself, think you are absolutely amazing, but loving 
yourself, that’s a bit sissy.<br />

No it’s not, it’s the basis of life and the basis of a balanced 
personality. If you have a troubled relationship you should look, first 
of all, to yourself, this is often where the trouble lies.<br />

<h3>
2. Tell her you love her</h3>
<strong>This is lesson two of how to love a woman. Tell her you love her!</strong><br />

This means saying the words so she completely understands and is in 
no doubt about it. You love her. She needs you to say this all the time 
and she needs you to volunteer it, not say it in reply to her 
questioning.<br />

The worst thing you can say is, “You know I do.” She doesn’t, that’s why she’s asking… Duh…<br />

<h3>
3. Just love her for herself</h3>
<strong>Your love is not conditional, it is not based on any special qualities. You love her.</strong><br />

Women have qualities we love in them, perhaps they’re smart, or sexy,
 or inspirational, or funny, or even rich. This is not why you love her,
 you love her just because of her, nothing else.<br />

Even though you celebrate everything that she is, even though you 
worship her for what she does in the world, she needs to know that you 
simply love her, no matter what. This is so crucial.<br />

<h3>
4. Live in your power</h3>
<strong>Whilst a man in love is an emotional being he must not stop being the man he is.</strong><br />

Your love should come from the power inside yourself, from your very 
soul. The love must be part of your power as a man and it must be part 
of how you live.<br />

You must remain just who you are, you must be the man she met and fell in love with.<br />

She finds excitement in your masculine strength, particularly when it laced with love. Don’t ever let her down.<br />

<h3>
5. Don’t live in the past</h3>
<strong>Never dwell on the past and use it to judge your woman.</strong><br />

Life does not always treat us well and we certainly don’t always 
treat life well. Things go wrong and we mess up. Strife in our loving 
relationship is something to let go of once it’s over, it’s something to
 let slip into the past.<br />

We must learn the lessons and move on ensuring that we don’t go there again. Move on and live, always, in the present.<br />

<h3>
6. Get to know her</h3>
<strong>How often do you say, “My wife doesn’t understand me.” What you really mean is, “I don’t understand my wife.”</strong><br />

Love can only grow and deepen through understanding. You can never 
get to the point where you think you know everything about her, no woman
 is that simple. She is a complex person that even she doesn’t 
understand.<br />

You need to love her and get to know her with patience and determination.<br />

<h3>
7. Count your blessings</h3>
<strong>Count the blessings you have together, the things you have achieved together, all that you are as a couple.</strong><br />

This should be a regular part of your life together. While I said, 
above, don’t live in the past, it’s ok to recount the great things in 
the past. This must be tempered with looking at the amazing things you 
are going to do in the future.<br />

As a rule of thumb it is advisable to expect a future way beyond one 
that you can imagine. Expectations can lead to frustration if they limit
 you, expecting them to go way beyond is a good step into the future.<br />

<h3>
8. Give love, always</h3>
<strong>Love is about giving rather than receiving. </strong><br />

Love is a creative force that grows out of the desire to give more than you receive.<br />

It is crucial that you are able to receive the love that is offerred 
to you otherwise it quickly dies, but you have to focus on the 
contribution you make to her.<br />

“Give and you shall receive”, but give without expecting anything in return.<br />

<h3>
9. Pay attention to her</h3>
<strong>Women need attention all the time. </strong><br />

It is absolutely vital that you understand this. Many of the annoying
 habits that women have are merely attempts to get your attention. Take 
heed of them and pay attention.<br />

Men are focused and directed and can easily lose themselves in what 
they are doing. This is one of the qualities that many women love in 
their men, but not to the exclusion of them.<br />

You need to find a balance that shows how important your woman is to you without losing your passion for your mission.<br />

<h3>
10. Start afresh each day</h3>
<strong>Start again as if it was the first day of the relationship. </strong><br />

Welcome her into your world and look forward to your day together. 
Give her your love and tell her you love her. Do it again in a different
 way and repeat. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you where to go from 
here.<br />

This refreshing of your love will keep it alive and bring you closer 
to each other. Through this your love will deepen and become an 
essential part of everyday you spend together.<br />

<div class="gpParaMark">
♦◊♦</div>
<strong>So what is love… really?</strong><br />

It’s an overwhelming emotion you have about another person, an emotion that you can’t truly explain but you can’t get rid of.<br />

It makes you want to be with that person, hold them, touch them, have
 sex with them. It shows itself as an exchange of energy, a polarity, 
that excites your soul.<br />

Love makes you feel great and totally transforms life. Love is worship of the other person, the woman who is divine for you.<br />

<strong>Love is the power house behind our lives, it is the reason we live.</strong><br />

<ul>
<li>Do you love yourself?</li>
<li>Do you live in your power?</li>
<li>Do you start afresh with your woman – every day?</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
1. They’re strict.</h3>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
When
 you have strict parents, they don’t give you the freedom or the support
 you need when you’re dating someone. They’re always asking you if it’s 
serious, if it’s going somewhere and they give you a hard time about 
everything if they don’t approve of the person you’re dating.</div>
<h3 class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
2. They don’t have a good relationship with each other.</h3>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
They
 could be divorced, separated or just bickering all the time, but when 
you grow up with parents who weren’t very loving to each other, you 
either ask for too much love which ends up pushing your partner away or 
you settle for unhealthy relationships because that’s what you <em>know</em>.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
3. They don’t look at the bigger picture.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
If you’re dating someone new, they always 
spot the flaws or the faults in them, they look at the shallow things 
instead of the big things and in a way they ruin it for you because they
 convince you that they’re not good for you right from the start.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
4. They don’t really understand you.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
They may want the best for you but they 
don’t really understand what that is or what makes you happy. Someone 
may be everything they need <em>‘on paper’</em> but they’re not 
compatible with you and they don’t make you happy. When your parents 
don’t understand you, they’ll never understand or approve of your 
choices.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
5. They are pessimistic about love.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
They don’t believe in it, they think it 
doesn’t exist, they think it all fades away or maybe they stopped 
believing in romance, they feed you negative messages about 
relationships and it becomes difficult for you to get these messages out
 of your head when you’re dating someone.</div>
<h3 class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
6. They don’t want you to date outside of a certain ‘type.’</h3>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
They make you fear other nationalities or cultures and they tell you that you need to stick to a certain<em> type</em>
 to be happy because that’s what they know or what they were taught but 
this really limits your options and makes you stuck with a type that 
might not be the best for you.</div>
<h3 class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
7. They’re too overprotective.</h3>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
As 
soon as they know you’re dating someone, they show up everywhere you go 
or call you fifty times a day or they try to spy on you to make sure 
you’re not doing anything<em> crazy</em>. In other words, they make you hate the day you told them that you’re talking to someone.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
8. They don’t make an effort with the person you’re dating.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
When you introduce them to the person 
you’re dating, they don’t try to get to know them or make them feel 
welcome, they could actually do the exact opposite or try to push them 
away just because they don’t think you should be dating them.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
9. They bring up your past.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
They tell you that you’re making the same 
mistake again or the person you’re dating is the same as your ex and it 
won’t work out. They hold your past against you and sabotage your new 
relationships.</div>

10. They think you’re better off single.</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
They tell you that you’re better off this 
way because relationships are risky and complicated and there is no such
 thing as love. They don’t push you to take more risks with love or try 
to date different people. They think it’s safer for you to stay away 
from relationships because there’s a <em>possibility</em> they could go wrong and leave you heartbroken. <span class="tc_mark"></span></div>

<h3 class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
1. Rules are rules because <em>we believe</em> they’re rules.</h3>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
The
 three-day calling rule; the idea that whoever texts first is the one 
capitulating and loses power; the whole concept of the “chase” — 
whatever your signature move is, it’s something you ascribe to because 
someone somewhere decided it should be code. And then it was.</div>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
If 
you like someone, just text them. Don’t wait for an arbitrary time, or 
for them to text you first so you feel wanted. You’re only baiting 
yourself when you do this, and not them; chances are good they’re too 
wrapped up in their fear of rejection to actually notice when someone 
else is also floundering through the games and nonsense. If you think 
it’s bogus that you should wait to let someone know you’re into them, 
then don’t ascribe to it. Tell them. Scarier, yes, but more honest to 
what you’re feeling — and that’s what relationships are all about.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
2. A lot of the time, it really <em>isn’t</em> you.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Whatever happens — well, happens. You 
can’t control everything, nor should you expect yourself to. And while, 
okay, maybe 15% of the time it’s just straight-up you, that leaves a 
huge margin of other factors. Maybe the other person has stuff they’re 
trying to sift through. Maybe they genuinely aren’t looking to date 
someone right now. Maybe you did everything as “right” as you possibly 
could have, and were your most charming, witty, effervescent self and 
things still didn’t incite a mutual spark. None of that is on you. If 
you hold up your end of the dating bargain, eventually you’ll find 
someone to reciprocate. (Just also check in every once in a while to 
make sure you’re not operating on the 15%, k?)</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
3. The answers do not lie in text messages.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
So screencapping and rehashing and 
micro-analyzing the placement of a single punctuation mark is not going 
to clue you in any further than you already are. You know what will 
clear up any questions you might have about what the other person means 
and how they feel? Asking them. Yes, I know it’s scary, but love is a 
scary thing, and if this person isn’t worth mustering up your bravery 
and just asking, are they worth the scariness that comes with a serious 
and committed relationship?</div>
<h3 class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
4. 9 times out of 10, you ask advice from the people who will give you the answers you already know.</h3>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
This
 is why we gravitate to each of our friends in turn — whether they’re 
the ones who are going to give us the tough love we know we need to 
listen to, or the ones who console and say you can do better and forget 
them, they didn’t deserve you anyway. Look: we’re all floundering 
through this love stuff. We’re all making it up as we go — even those of
 us whose relationships seem good and solid and loving and stable. If 
you and your friends all follow each other’s advice all the time, you’re
 going to end up having the same love lives and making the same mistakes
 time and time again. It’s like asking a frog how to fly.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
5. Everything good takes time.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
This goes further than love at first sight
 — sometimes even liking someone takes time. You can fall into a 
relationship and like being around each other, and hold off on the 
butterflies and falling-in-love. (It’s not romantic, but it happens.) 
And slowly, you might find yourself growing more connected to the other 
person. Even people who fall more and more in love with one another did 
so over a period of months and years, so to wonder why things aren’t the
 stuff of fairytales from the get-go is to set yourself up for a lot of 
disappointment.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
6. No perfect relationship is ever as it seems.</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
It’s as Cher Horowitz said: Relationships 
are like Monets — to the people who are close enough (so, in the 
relationship), they’re a big old mess. That doesn’t make them any less 
valuable and wonderful, though. Ask anybody who has been in a seemingly 
flawless relationship, and if they’re willing to be honest with you, 
you’ll find that they’ve seen their fair share of hard times. And even 
if you’re lucky enough to find what your definition of the ‘perfect’ 
relationship is — if the person you’re seeing checks off every single 
criteria on your list — something’s going to fall through somewhere 
unless you genuinely work for it. Something will fall through anyway, 
even if you work at it. (But that doesn’t mean you should stop.) 
Sometimes, it’s all those ripples and flaws that make things so 
wonderful, anyway.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
7. Being in a relationship will not solve your problems.</h3>
But that doesn’t mean that it’s 
necessarily “better” to be single. Both single and coupled people can 
grow, but there’s no one cure-all for getting your life back in shape. 
The person you’re in a relationship with might be able to help you work 
through your problems, but you’re going to have to (and should want to) 
do a lot of that work yourself.</div>

<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
When
 you’re trying to determine whether or not a relationship is “right” for
 you, the reality is that you already know the answer – sometimes you 
just need to hear the question posed in a different way to really 
acknowledge it.</div>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
When
 a relationship doesn’t work out, most people can acknowledge that they 
had a hunch that would be the case right from the beginning. Sometimes, 
your hopes and attachments blind you, and the reality – whether or not 
it was <em>actually working in the first place – </em>becomes a sobering fact you have to come to terms with.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Better to do it now than waste your time… right?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>1.</strong> Do you argue about petty frustrations, or do you argue about whether or not you want to be together?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>2.</strong> Do you think about breaking up when you’re angry, or when everything should be great and easy?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>3.</strong> Are you happier when you’re thinking about them, or when you’re spending time with them?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>4.</strong> Do you maintain a level of complete comfort <em>and </em>romance with them? Both are essential if you want it to work out long-term. You need to be in love, and you need to be in like.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>5.</strong> Do you argue because 
you’re upset that you aren’t aligned on an important issue and want to 
be on the same page, or because you inherently dislike one another and 
it blows up every now and again?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>6.</strong> Do you learn from them
 because they try to teach and change you, or are you inspired by them 
and interested in how they think and live?</div>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
<strong>7.</strong> Do you vent to other people about them, or do you vent to them about other people?</div>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
<strong>8.</strong> Are
 you spending all of your time wondering whether or not you should be 
together, or are you actually together and just navigating the ups and 
downs of a relationship?</div>
<div class="adjust_blocks_for_ads" data-valid-location="true">
<strong>9.</strong> Do you have more inexplicable anxiety or hesitation than you do inexplicable feelings of joy, fate, and infatuation?</div>

<strong>10.</strong> If you had to marry them tomorrow, or marry them never, which would you choose?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>11.</strong> If you knew that they
 would be the exact person they are today for the rest of your lives 
together, would you still want to be with them?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>12.</strong> Are you more proud to show them to your family than you are hesitant?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>13.</strong> Are you interested in
 having sex with them, but not regularly and consistently touching them 
in even more intimate ways like cuddling or kissing?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>14.</strong> Are they the first person you want to call when something great – or something painful – happens?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>15.</strong> Do they treat you like a priority, or an option?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>16.</strong> Are you able to be 
honest with your friends about how your relationship is really going, or
 do you feel like you have to hide the truth?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>17.</strong> Do your friends love 
to be around you and your partner more now that you’re together, or do 
they seem less than thrilled about them?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>18.</strong> Is the timing 
actually not right, or do you feel perplexed by why you don’t want to 
fully commit to someone who otherwise seems perfect for you, so you 
chalk it up to “timing?”</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>19.</strong> Are you willing to 
acknowledge the fact that the timing is never right until it’s the right
 person, and that absolutely nothing would stand in the way of being 
with someone if you were really meant to?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>20.</strong> Are you holding onto a past idea of what you had in your relationship more than you’re working toward your future together?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>21.</strong> Are you aligned on the non-negotiables? (Where you want to live, whether you want to have kids, your level of monogamy, etc.?)</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>22.</strong> Can you (mostly happily) spend long stretches of time together without needing a break?</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
<strong>23.</strong> If you were going to

bring one person to spend all of those days with, would you choose them?</div>

<strong>24.</strong> Are you overwhelmed 
with uncertainty? Are you willing to acknowledge that being unsure is 
actually being sure, and being afraid to accept that fact?</div>
<strong>25.</strong> Are both of you 
showing up? Are you willing to acknowledge that “I just want to be on my
 own” is code for “You are not the right person yet, even though it 
seems like you should be?”</div>

<h3 data-valid-location="true">
Libra + Scorpio</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Libras and Scorpios make amazing friends 
and partners because they are both secretly intense. Libras want to be 
wanted, Scorpios obsess over the people in their lives. The Libra takes 
on the role of the counselor, and the Scorpio finds a lot of comfort in 
that. Together, they create this beautiful symbiosis that fulfills both 
of their needs.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Libras and Scorpios wouldn’t seem like 
they’d immediately get along, and maybe on the surface there is some 
hesitation as their interests and personalities seem so different. But 
when these two spend any significant amount of time together, they 
discover there is a bond that is truly indescribable, and they don’t 
really feel that way about anybody else.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
Pisces + Cancer</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Known for being the two most emotional and
 intuitive signs in the zodiac, a Pisces and a Cancer understand one 
another like nobody else does. Together, they become lost in their own 
weird little world and find a sense of happiness just from knowing that 
they are understood. The attraction between them is immediately 
undeniable.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Pisces and Cancers are amazing together 
because they balance out each other’s depths. The Cancer is the feeler 
and grounder, the Pisces is the creative and intuitive. They understand 
one another’s sensitivities and tend to have a lot of mutual interests 
right off the bat.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
Sagittarius + Aries</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
When a Sag and an Aries are together, 
adventure is inevitable. These two like to bounce thoughts off one 
another, plan trips, and discuss every weird fact about the Universe 
they can conjure up. These two are intellectual soulmates, and find in 
one another someone who they can both respect and have an amazing time 
with.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Sags
 and Aries are both known for being individual thinkers. They are both 
independent and strong-willed. But the thing is that they both admire 
that quality in other people, and rather than butt heads, they actually 
create this kind of equal-power symbiosis. If they are romantically 
involved, they were undoubtedly best friends first.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
Gemini + Aquarius</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
A Gemini and Aquarius balance one 
another’s extremes. Whereas the Gemini can be indecisive and scattered, 
the Aquarius is determined and tunnel visioned. They truly need one 
another to accomplish their goals: the Gemini lightens the Aquarius and 
the Aquarius gives the Gemini direction.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
This partnership works because underneath 
the surface, they each have similar goals. In the end, an Aquarius just 
wants to live a balanced quality life, and a Gemini wants the same – 
though they are both very polarized about how they try to accomplish 
that. In the end, they need each other to lean on, and create with.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
Virgo + Taurus</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
A Virgo and Taurus are a match made in 
heaven. They are both Earth signs, and balance one another’s idealistic 
desires. They make amazing friends and business partners, and in 
romance, they never feel as understood as when they are with one 
another.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true">
A Virgo will be inspired by the Taurus’ 
confident approach to life (and distinctly great taste). They will 
thrive off of being in the company of someone they admire so much. The 
Taurus will be grounded by the Virgo, and they’ll help them have a great
 time and remain mindful of what really matters in life – how it feels, 
not just how it looks.</div>
<h3 data-valid-location="true">
Cancer + Libra</h3>
<div data-valid-location="true">
Cancers and Libras are true soulmates. 
Where the Cancer is emotional, the Libra is level-headed. Where the 
Libra is needy, the Cancer is happy to give them all the love and 
affection they crave (even in friendships!) These two are natural BFFs, 
and have an easygoing way about living life together. The truth is that 
they are both deeply emotional creatures who find comfort in others who 
understand them and similarly want to work on ways to live better and 
thrive more. Together, they are truly unstoppable.</div>
In romantic partnerships, these two are 
likely to be married quickly. A Cancer craves feeling settled while at 
the same time, wanting their life to “take off” because of their 
partner. A Libra gives them just that. These two waste no time making 
things official, and starting life together.</div>

8. Introduce them to people in your life and show how proud you are to have someone like this to present to friends and family. Make sure they know that they are a welcome guest and someone everyone is excited to meet, because you know how scary it can be to come into someone else’s world.</div>

12. Hold them and kiss them all over their face very softly as you’re both waking up — their nose, their forehead, their cheeks. Make them feel that they are loved, even first thing in the morning.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: minion-pro, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125em; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 1em 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

14. Kiss the parts of them that they are self-conscious about, letting them know that these parts are beautiful — not because you pity them, but because they are part of a greater whole which wouldn’t be the same without them.</div>
<div data-valid-location="true" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: minion-pro, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125em; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 1em 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

21. Find something nice and likable in their friends and family, even if you sometimes feel like you don’t have much in common with them. Understand that sometimes we don’t always choose who we grow up with, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth caring about in them.</div>
