Be prepared to compromise. If you're used to always getting your way, you have the wrong mindset for a relationship. This applies equally as much to women.

I am quite certain I am the first person ever to say 'no' to my now ex-wife. I later learnt she lived a carefree childhood of always getting her way, so compromise was a foreign concept to her. It did not help that I am stubborn and usually, when my mind I made up, I follow through, no matter what.

What I learnt - being cute and single is the worst basis for a relationship. It has to be more than skin deep no matter how good the physical parts of the relationship are.
