dougbcoll agony aunt just be your self, if he is worth keeping he will love you and be with you for who you are, not by trying to keep him.

life does not need to be exciting every minute of our lives. during the times that we are not entertained or entertaining is when we really get to know each other deeper for the person that we really are.

Okay hon, some basic tips

- You don't actually get to have anybody, so you don't need to worry about keeping them. Nothing special you do or say will tie him to you. All that stuff about "two halves becoming one" blah blah blah is all BS. You are together because being together enriches both your individual lives. When that's no longer the case for one or both of you, the relationship ends and contrary to popular belief, that doesn't have to be anybody's fault. Sometimes things just ran its course. The best attitude to have is to think of it as a kind of friendship: what would you do with a friend? Do that.

- He fell in love with you just the way you are and if he falls out of love, it won't be because you didn't do enough to keep him entertained. That's not the point of a relationship, so don't try and force yourself into some fancier version of who you are.

- Don't be afraid of dull moments. Every life has them, every friendship has them and every relationship has them. Don't fear silences either. Once you two get comfortable enough around each other, those dull moments will be companionable. Sometimes, the nice moments in the relationships aren't the ones you post pictures of on facebook, but the ones where you're just having a quiet conversation sitting on the couch in your comfy clothes.

- Just a warning: if your boyfriend ever gives you the impression that the only way to keep him around is to have sex with him: DON'T DO IT, because he'll dump you anyway. If your personality and company isn't enough, then throwing your body at him won't be either, no matter how well he pleads his case. I see so many girls like yourself making this mistake and getting heartbroken afterwards. Anyway, not implying your bf is like that, but it can't hurt to mention.

Have fun, relax and remember to always respect yourself.

olderthandirt agony auntOK, First item of advice; If your attitude about your guy is that you "have him wrapped around your finger" that implies you want to have control over him and the LAST thing you want to do is imply or even think you should "control" him that is the fastest way to lose a guy is to try to control him.SEcond; if you're having a lot of fun just continue doing that...don't attempt to control or KEEP him. He isnot a puppy that you need to keep fenced in the backyard and teach tricks to do on comand.Just have fun and enjoy one another and the two of you will be together for a long time. Deep breaths, relax. Life is short savor every moment.
