3. For the next 30 days concentrate on really liking the opposite sex - thinking of each one as a safe ally. 

4. Become your own best cheerleader and your own best friend - this will aid you towards "flourishing" in a relationship, not "needing" a relationship. 

5. Always speak well of your family and friends-conversely avoid a partner who speaks poorly of their friends and family. 

6. The most exciting person to be around is the person who is excited about their life-be positive and optimistic about your life. 

7. Look for commonalities, not differences-if we all knew what our "type" was, we wouldn�t be alone. Look for similarities, enjoy contrasts and be more open-minded. 

8. Never give up all your friends and outside interests for your partner. It�s important to keep the multidimensional features that made you attractive initially. 

9. Treat your partner with kindness and respect. Never take each other for granted - be best friends. 

10. Develop and demonstrate a real interest and support for your partner�s career, friends & family. 

11. Your partner need not know everything about you . Keep a little mystique. 

12. Get in the habit of always putting your partner in the very best light- give them the benefit of the doubt and concentrate on what works, not on what doesn�t work. 

13. Minimize arguments and confrontations by avoiding the blaming word "you", as in "you made me late for work." Rather, use "building bridges" words as in "let�s figure out a new way to mange our morning schedules." Think and act as a team. 

14. Avoid treating your partner like a child, no one wants another mother. They are not your project! 

15. Laugh. Together. A lot.
