You can’t change them.

Don’t get me wrong, that person might change while you’re dating them, and you may very well be the catalyst for that change — in fact, relationships are supposed to involve a level of change over time, as you grow as people — but you’re never going to be the one in the driving seat. If you go into a relationship thinking, ‘Oh, he’d be so great if only…’ or ‘She’d be practically perfect if she’d just…’, then you’re probably going to end up disappointed and your partner is likely to resent you.

Find a person you’re happy with pretty much as they are.

2.

Just make sure you and your partner have a little bit of emotional maturity, or it’s gonna go to shit. If you can’t figure simple things out together it’s not going to work.

And don’t EVER be passive aggressive, that’s the worst thing you can do above all. Use your words.
