Between a guy and girl? What makes them stick to each other and not break up?

1. One word.... SEX. lol.
2. They shouldn't start dating until they are at least 17 (if mature), 18 or 19 yrs. old. If a girl doesn't value herself, respect herself, she will be "easy" and rush into sexual behavior. Indulging in casual sex will not "hold" a guy. I wouldn't date a guy who has a bad track record. If he can't be faithful to even one woman, then he won't be faithful to me. A girl should act in her own best interest and insist that she be respected. No making out, it leads to sex and sex leads to pregnancy. A guy who needs to be changed... (needs to be in AAA or drug counseling) does not qualify as dating material. Nor does a guy in prison qualify.
3. Well first of all what makes a relationship successful is you both have to like each other. You both have to be attracted to each other some what. You guys have to have the same views and morals becuase both those things will count in a realtionship. You must know the person for a while before you both go out. You can't know them as a good friend becuase most friends who date wont last long in a relationship with their best friend. Know them as a friend with limitations. Hang maybe once or twice but keep a limited realtionship. Honesty, trust, and being loyal and faithful are really important. Don't say I love you in the first week. Say it with in the first couple months and mean it. Mean it and show it. Don't give trust adumaticly to your partner. They have to earn it so it will be less likley that they wil break it once they have earned it. It will easier to keep your relationship with your partner if you don't have friends of the opposite sex. When you have those kind of friends its to easy to build up relationships or an attraction to them and your eyes might be looking in every other direction beside your partner. It just makes it easier to not cheat if you don't start to build a relationship with anyone of the opposite sex in the first place. Don't base your realtionship on sex. Sex SHOULD be saved for marriage, or saved for specail times. Don't have sex every day, becuase that will be the high light of your realtionship. Try not to include drugs like alcohol or hard addicting drugs like heroin. Alcohol poses a HUGE problem for relationships and almost every realtionship I know that involves alcohol has gone down. You both must agree on the drug the other does and must be comfortable with that person doing that drug with friends only. Not parties or anything like that. Love each other and respect each other. Don't blaime, and don't assume. Love to be around them, and do things and make them you and your partner things, not anyone else things. It could be anything like going to a certain place or it can be like you and your partner thing only, or a certain game or watching a certain show becuase it will always be speacil with you both when you do that thing together becuase that will be something you don't share with anyone else but your partner. That thing doesn't have to be sex, it could be anything that you both agree on. Listen, and communicate with your partner. Try not to hint things. If something is bothering you, be upfront in a nice way. Don't keep putting it off, and don't try and hint it to your partner becuase they won't get the full story. Be upfront, even if what ever is bothering you is stupid. Let your partner know, so if they can fix it, they can try! There are some aspects of a good, strong and commited relationship.
