When embarking on a new relationship, it is important that couples can find some common interests.<\/p>\n

This will make the initial stages of the courtship easier, as they will both be taking part in activities they enjoy.<\/p>\n

Carlos Xuma, author of Secrets of the Alpha Male, noted men need to avoid the situation whereby months have elapsed without them spending some quality time with their girlfriend.<\/p>\n

However, this does not mean they need to give up their own interests, such as watching football, but rather they just need to make sure women fit into this schedule.<\/p>\n

He believes the key is to turn events into social occasions, as this way ladies will feel part of the day, regardless of whether they actually enjoy whatever the activity is.<\/p>\n

Among Mr Xuma's top tips is to ask their friends to bring their partners with them, as this way the conversation will not be too male-centric.<\/p>\n
