In an interview on DZMM’s “Ma-Beauty Po Naman” on Sunday, human sexuality expert Dr. Agnes Bueno shared tips on how people should approach "love," whether youre already married or still looking for that special someone.
1. Don't overthink
Bueno said romance cannot be forced and must come naturally. “Hindi pwedeng ipilit ang maging romantic,” she said, likening it to dancing where steps just flow smoothly.
As such, she advised couples not to overthink, which she said can cause problems to the relationship.
"Itong mga bagay na ito kasi nasa dalawang tao 'yan eh. Di kailangang i-programa. Napakahirap i-explain din kung minsan. Healthy relationships are built on a give-and-take thing," she said.
2. Love yourself
When it comes to sustaining interest between couples, Bueno said it is also important to take care of one’s appearance.
She explained that this also reflects a person’s measure of self-respect.
"[Being careful with one’s appearance is important,] not just in a relationship. Self-respect —it goes with everything," she said.
3. Hint but don't tell
For women, Bueno said they should not ask guys if they like you straight out.
“The moment na sabihin mo na, the romance is out. It has to be given. Kailangang hindi mo hingin for it to really be romantic,” she said.
But Bueno said women can give hints if they do like the guy.
“Mahirap maging faithful kung lalaki ka. You have to be able to understand na natural sa lalaki yan. 'Wag maghintay. Mag-cue sa lakaki na gusto mo sya,” she said.
