Don't be mad that I don't know how you feel if you didn't tell me. The only accurate way to read someone's emotions is for them to tell you just how they feel. It's easier and it'll cause less problems.

Don't think you know me because you've seen my Twitter or Facebook posts. I could post "I've had a terrible day" and it could be because I ran out of lives on candy crush. Nothing that I post will give you insight to my personal life. I don't want go put it out there for the world to read.

Don't assume. I've learned that the only thing assuming will do is make an ass out of both of us. If you want to know something, just ask. I promise I'll tell you what you want to know

If you want to get to know me, have a genuine conversation with me. Ask me about my 3 a.m. thoughts or my dreams. Pick up the phone and call me to talk about whatever your heart desires. I'd rather talk on the phone for hours than send a single text message.

Don't think you know my tone from a text message. You may think I had an attitude, but you wouldn't hear my voice to know. If I want to have an attitude, I promise you'll be aware of it. Text messages are the reason for so much miscommunication. That's one of the reasons that I don't prefer texts.

Instead of screaming at me, try asking me why I did what I did. Don't just start to freak out. Talk to me about it before you get mad. I try to handle a situation after I'm cooled off because I know I won't have as bad of a temper.

The point here is that communication is the key to every successful relationship. If you focus on this, you won't believe how much better your relationships get. There's no better feeling than having no doubts of what's going on, and you can have that too if you just communicate wisely.
