The most popular person might not be the kindest or most interesting- Never overlook the quiet ones- often they are the most fascinating, generous and modest of people. Don't go for the person in the limelight- it's likely gone to their head anyway.

Relationships on Female First

Leave PDAs in private- People don't want to see lovers sucking face at any age- so please keep it behind closed doors.

Rolling up your skirts attracts the wrong sort of attention- Don't put it all out on show- when you find 'the one'- make them work for the right to see your body.

Be yourself- If you pretend to be someone else- eventually the truth will out. Your future match will only become interested if you are being true to who you are. If you're not- you will end up with someone who's totally unsuitable.

Don't date someone just because others approve- If your friends tell you they are the bees knees but they don't make you buzz with excitement- don't pursue it and invest your time with someone who does.

Friends first- It's important that you can be mates before partners. If you haven't got that foundation- you might as well walk away- when the honeymoon period wears off you need to be able to talk to each other and enjoy their company.

Don't compare your relationship to other couples- Who cares if they kissed before you? Or if they exchanged the 'l' word before you did? All that matters is how it feels for you as a couple so go at a pace that fits with you both- no-one else counts.

Talk only to your partner about your relationship problems- Voicing your concerns to your friends won't change anything in your relationship- the only people who have the power to improve things is you and your partner. Plus they might not be able to keep your problems close to their chest.

You will get over a break up- It might not seem like it at the time but your life will become normal again. You may not find someone else at the same time as they do- but you will hurt less and less with every day that passes and feel ready to move on at some point.

Love is not a race- If all of your friends are in relationships and you're not- it's not the end of the world. Enjoy the freedom of being able to do what you want and when you want without having to consider anyone else. Plus, you still have it all to look forward to- the novelty has worn off for them.
