O – Openness

1. Give up the social-networking password. Simply put, if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t mind your significant other being able to access your Facebook, Twitter account, or MySpace account. Social-networking website are not like e-mail where you may receive confidential information regarding work. Knowing that your significant other could be watching your profile will make you think twice before sending that flirtatious private message or poking someone. We can’t help receiving unsolicited messages, but we don’t have to return them.

2. Talk about people you find attractive. It’s natural to find other people attractive. It’s not proper to lust after them. You know the difference.

NEVER compare your significant other to that person though. The point is to bring out what was hidden. Your significant other will understand because she finds someone else in the world attractive.

People don’t like when you hide things in relationships, so you need to start with the little things.

3. Tell your significant other about when other people hit on you. If your significant other is attractive, you should expect that other people will try to flirt with him/her. Since it’s going on anyway, you may as well know about it when it happens. It actually makes you feel good to hear, “let me tell you about this loser that approached me at the gym.”
