There is nothing to say about relationships. Never bring up anything that is not true. Hold back sharing your moments of embarrassment. Be sure to clarify your misunderstandings.

There is no need to mention what may dampen moods. Give your advice only according to circumstances. It does not hurt to mention past experiences.
