Showering with gifts
Some ppl,usually men,may equate spending money on a woman with making her like him more. Showering ur partner with gifts in d first stages of a relationship won’t make him or her like  more or motivate him or her to keep u around. It suggests u have little else to offer other than what’s in ur chequing account.And even worse, they may begin to expect gifts all d time.
Wait for a milestone in ur relationship,such as an anniversary or birthday,b4 exchanging gifts.

Spending all ur free time together
There r 2 dangers with being needy or clingy in a relationship.First,u forgo ur social life,which u need to maintain for ur own well-being.We all need to have a healthy circle of friends for support & companionship.Second,u smother d other person’s own personal time,which may cause him or her to resent u.U'll end up getting sick of each other early on in d relationship.  

Meeting family & friends prematurely
 Meeting d other person’s friends and family is a rite of passage in any relationship. But,it could be a mistake to meet them before u know ur new partner well enough.Establish a comfortable,solid rapport with him or her first. Also,try to get to know those close to him or her by asking and talking about them.Then,when it's d right time,u'll know what to expect & u’ll be more at ease when u actually meet them.
  
Not coming clean about ur past
Whatever skeletons u’re hiding,they'll come out eventually. U should tell d other person about any addictions u had,if u've been married,and so on.Granted,all of this doesn’t have to be revealed all at once or all within d first few weeks of dating.When u feel like d relationship is getting serious,u should come out & be fully honest.
  
Avoiding Confrontation
Communication is d key to resolving those quarrels all lovers have.If u avoid talking about ur problems,they'll only get bigger.A small argument in d present is better than a painful fight later.Avoiding confrontation can also be taken as a sign of indifference towards d relationship.
  
Forgiving mistakes too easily
If there is something that bothers u about the other person,don’t let these annoying habits slide.If he/she has done something to hurt or offend u,let them know right away.If u sweep all of ur feelings under d rug,it will blow up.He/she will never know how u feel & d behaviour will continue.
  
Taking them for granted
 In order to keep d glow of a relationship alive,seduction must be a long withstanding effort.So don’t fall into d trap of getting too comfortable too early on.For example:u stop going out on dates,u no longer care about ur appearance or u stop being attentive & affectionate.Falling into these bad practices may spell d end of ur relationship.  
  
Saying “I Love You” Too Soon
These words r not to be thrown around carelessly.They must be used with an amount of frugality,otherwise they become meaningless.
Saying it too soon may scare d other person off.So wait until u know d other person really well & a solid base of trust has been established.Then,u'll both know that u really mean it.


Feel free to add more! Wink

there's r mistakes that r not regrettable...hope u knw that, take confrontation for instance u might likely want to confront to notions n maybe if u confront it it might also be the wrong time or approach but in the process u happen to let go or sth else took its place n finally things got fixed. what i mean now is "u made a mistake of not confronting the issue but somehow the issue got resolved" several cases like that do happen
