Hi there. About an year ago I totally changed the way I view women and the world in general.

I never had some major problems attracting girls, and I was jumping from one to another.

But with time passing I realized this is not a good thing and definitely not very mature or manly thing to do.

So now I'm trying to stay as long in a relationship when I get with a girl. And right now im in the begging of a one, but due to that I've never had very serious long term RS I'm kind of unclear what it really means a successful one.

What are some requirements that has to be fulfilled so a RS could be defined as a successful.
Things like mutual attraction, trust, having sex regularly and what else. Lets people that have been in a long term (year or longer) RS share.

Thank you.

You want to stay in a relationship as long as possible? Don't. You keep trying to figure out ways to be perfect and keep this girl. Who you haven't even slept with and who doesn't sound like she's ready for a relationship but whatever. Regardless don't try to keep anything going for the sake of it. A relationship is a success once it was healthy and didn't mess you up or something. You're forcing things. Stop. If you go into it looking to make it work you'll be needy.

Hmm it looks to me that I have a problem without even noticing that I have a problem. (trying to to force things up).

Its because I'm used to think in terms of success, goals and in order to achieve success you need to have a clear vision of what the outcome you want to be.

So you say that this doesn't apply to relationships?

Actually I was asking in general, its the situation that I'm in hints me for that question.

Thanks for the advice, lets others relationships experts also share their views.
