Do You Kiss and Tell?

Nothing spreads faster than a juicy piece of gossip, especially if the subject matter involves a relationship. It is a fact that your past relationships and how you behaved with your former lovers, has an impact on your current love life.

It is not only important to break-up with someone on amicable terms, it is equally important that you maintain a fairly decent reputation as someone's boyfriend or girlfriend. Are you wondering what you shouldn't be doing if you want to maintain a good reputation? Read on...

Did you cheat?

If you have the reputation of being a cheater, don't feel very proud of the fact that you might have conquered so many men or women. The fact is, once people know that you are disposed towards cheating or two-timing they might just stop dating you. Even if a man or woman does date you, it will never be serious. They probably know that you'd cheat on them and therefore, they will only want to be involved with you on a casual level.

Don't get abusive

Do you always break-up with someone because he or she thinks you're too emotionally or physically abusive? If yes, mend your ways. You cannot expect someone to remain with you if you constantly abuse their physiological or psychological well-being. In fact, if most of your relationships have ended because of the above reason, word will get around that you have a problem controlling your abusive tendencies and soon enough you will find it hard to get someone to date you.

Be faithful

Do you keep making promises that you don't keep? Have you often stood someone up after making plans with him or her? People don't appreciate being ditched. Besides, if you are the one who is always doing the ditching, everyone will sympathise with the one who is left waiting. Regardless, of how many excuses you might have, people will see you as someone who ditches. So try to show up at least sometimes.

Kiss and tell

While few people can resist a good gossiping session, there are also things people don't really want to know. If you kiss and then go and tell the entire world about it, can you blame anyone who is hesitant about getting involved with you? And generally, details of your sex life should stay private, not just out of respect for your partner, but also out of respect for yourself. If you sleep with someone and by the next day everyone knows about it, don't be surprised if you find it hard to find someone who wants to be with you.

Stop exploiting your partner

Don't use your partner or take advantage of him or her. If you borrow something like money or valuables from your partner, return it. There is a thin line between using and abusing, so dont cross it.

Living off someone

To be a freeloader is not socially acceptable; your friends or partner will notice sooner or later that yours is always the wallet that remains tightly shut when it comes to footing the bill. If you end up with the reputation of being a freeloader, watch out, you'll soon find yourself all alone and will be forced to pay your own bills, which is something you should have done in the first place.

A good reputation can take you a long way. A little bit if good will can help you maintain a healthy relationship.
