1 " Sorry if you believe in true love, I'm a hopeless romantic too, but I'm also a realist and wear my cynicism like armour. "
― Hannah Witton , Doing It!: Let's Talk About Sex
2 " As we learn, grow, and change, so does the way we identify, "
3 " Respecting your partner means recognising and valuing their independence. Respect their beliefs, their values, their life goals, their job, their hobbies, their friends and family. In a relationship it’s not enough to just have respect for the other person, you need to show it, too. "
4 " Talk about what you need out of the relationship, what you want, what you expect, what you can give. Talk about boundaries and rules. Talk about jealousy. "
5 " Relationships and dating don't always have the perfect narrative arc like they do in the movies. In real life, nothing happens in an order that makes sense and sometimes there's no end or conclusion to things. "
6 " You just need a snuggle Forget sexual frustration—that can be dealt with. I majorly suffer with snuggle frustration. I have four pillows in my bed, but I actually only sleep with one under my head. The others I use to put my arms and legs around. I tell people that it’s because it’s supposed to be good for your back (which it is), but really, I just desperately want a cuddle. Luckily, I’ve got lots of friends who will spoon me and stroke my hair, but let’s be real, it feels so good coming from a romantic/sexual partner. "
