Summary:
A completely problem-free relationship is difficult to imagine. Some partners use conflicts constructively to add depth to their relationships, while others let their problems strain or ruin their relationships. Five common problems are covered here, with advice on how to approach them constructively and turn them into learning experiences.

Details or Sample:
Forming close relationships through dating is made no easier by how badly the people involved want things to work out. Compatibility is a hard thing to find in another, and even then, no match is perfect - which is where compromise comes in, and that can be even harder to manage. What follow are the top five most common dating problems, with surefire ways to find solutions.

1) DISHONEST INTENTIONS

Some people enter relationships deceptively. Commonly, one partner may make a declaration of love early on with the sole intention of opening the other partner up to having sex - and it sometimes works.

Never do this! It´s no less reprehensible than lying. The emotional injuries and trust issues caused by such deception can be deep and difficult to mend, and the potential for this is the worst for teens - younger people are often more likely to be either selfish or overly trusting of others.

If you want to explore a person sexually, just be honest. Use your judgment to make your intentions clear in a way that isn´t rude or degrading. You may get rejected, but you´ve still done the right thing. Better yet, give your feelings a chance. The pleasure of sex can be enhanced ten fold by true, positive, empathetic emotions for your partner.

2) TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR PARTNER

Most people strongly reject the suggestion that something is wrong with their personality. Most often, criticisms about personal interests, music choices, or moral perspectives go unheeded, instead fostering angry, avoidant, or resentful reactions. This can create loads of tension in a relationship, especially if either partner is a nag.

The best way to introduce change to a partner is by making a suggestion. Expose your partner to the music you love without criticizing his or her music choices, and try not to be too hostile toward a partner´s bad habits or moral perceptions. You´re more likely to be listened to when phrasing suggestions subjectively, using "I" language. Only seriously address the issues that are most important to you, and when discussing them, listen to what your partner says rather than trying to steamroll his or her opinions. Also, the more willing you are to change your own bad habits and expand beyond your own tastes, the more likely your partner is to do the same.
