Get the Girl You Want - Building Trust in a Relationship

It's common knowledge that a stable relationship is built upon trust. But if you ask the average person how trust is built, they'll probably struggle to find an answer! It's especially difficult when one or both individuals in a relationship have been betrayed in the past. Here are some tips to help build trust with a girl you care about.

Do what you say. It's extremely important to follow through with what you promise to do. Even failing to follow through with a small task will create a small crack in your trustworthiness. Over time, small fractures will add up and crumble the whole foundation of your relationship.

Never tell lies. OK, a white lie concerning how someone's legs look is probably advisable. But beyond that, you really should never tell lies. It's actually quite attractive when a man has the courage to share unpleasant truths. Even if you're lying about something small, this can destroy the foundation of your relationship. The woman will think, "Obviously he can lie without difficulty. So what else is he lying about?"

Don't let issues fester. If you have a question or concern, don't wait and wonder in silence. You will probably only increase your own worry or paranoia! Find a non-threatening way to bring up the issue. Be sure that you maintain a safe emotional space, or all your other work for trust will be compromised.

Building trust is fundamental to any relationship. If trust is not there the relationship will cease to exist. Obviously you don't have to be completely open about everything the first time you meet her! Share things that are relevant to the level of your relationship.
