I won't say much in this matter as i never seem to be able to hold any relationship together, but i will leave something that might hopefully help.
Someone once asked me this, "How do you define a relationship? What do you think is important in order for you to get this relationship working?" Nevertheless, i wasn't able to answer. After pondering over it for a little while, i demanded for the answer. My friend merely smiled and answered, "No one can answer this question but yourself. Think of the elements that you know you want in a relationship. None of these elements are more important than the others. However, none of these elements can function well or at all without the others. It works in a cycle. When you have realized this, then you'll be able to find a person you most likely will be yours."
It took me a long time to understand what he meant. But until today, i have not been able to answer myself the first question he asked. A relationship.
I know it is a little confusing, but once you get it, you'll understand. And i'm hoping this will help you.
