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

Agreed with all 100%. But along with forgiving too easily, we have to learn to let things go after it has been confronted to enable growth. Good points though Smiley

it's a pity that we let love overwhelm us and we keep on repeating the same mistakes time and again. i'm just reading an interesting book " How to think like a lady and act like a man". Believe me, it's very interesting. men really read our minds and we let them do. they own us and take our freedom and we accept so easily without settig the standards from the begginning. i cant take my eyes out of it. F****ck love.
