If you're attracted to someone you've just me then you'll know there is that initial spark, chemistry and connection. Everything is feeling great at this point in the relationship; there is a lot of passion, excitement and romance. In order for the fleeting relationship to really develop and blossom you also need to deepen that connection, chemistry and let the spark ignite a little more.
So what are the steps you can take to deepen your relationship with your gay partner?
- Compliment each other regularly - Take time to compliment each other weekly whether it’s about how they look or something they have done. Many couples tend to get complacent in a long term relationship and forget to give compliments but they are crucial to helping keep that spark alive.
- Putting your ego aside - Putting your ego aside really means being able to admit your flaws and faults. Admit when you’re wrong when you have disagreements and take responsibility for the part you played in the disagreement or conflict. It can make a world of difference.
- Take a break after fighting - Fights do happen occasionally in a relationship. Rather than getting all worked up and potentially saying something you will regret later on. Take a break and relax. It will allow you to clear your head and potentially avoid saying something that will ruin the relationship.
- Make time for dates - One major problem is complacency in a long term relationship and couples forget to take time out together. It’s important to keep dating each other and forging that connection by doing things together. Go for walks together, go to the gym together, do anything that allows you to spend some time with each other.
