You have asked a very complicated question.
First, it helps if both parties are mature and reasonably secure with themselves. Otherwise there may be insurmountable jealousy and neediness. Really.
Also, it helps if you have interests other than boys and makeup or whatever. If you have hobbies, pastimes, intellectual pursuits, and soforth, you will be a more interesting person to talk to. And if you have a good understanding of your emotions you will find yourself better able to communicate your needs and feelings. You are so much more fun to be with if you can make intelligent conversation. It helps if you keep yourself fit to some extent. You should be happy without a partner and find a partner that is likewise content with themselves.
At first, when a relationship first starts and grows, it is important to keep things moving toward getting to know each other.
1) Romance - Go somewhere special, spend time with her, surprise her somehow.
2) Understanding - Show that you agree with her and understand how she thinks, as much as possible. Be honest.
3) View points - from abortion and adoption to finances and life goals. Religion.
All of this is important when determining if this person is right for you. When discussing things you are fostering good communication skill, and these are vital to the life of your relationship. The relationship should BE GOOD DURING THIS EARLY PERIOD!!!
Once these things are taken care of, and you've been together for a few years, you're relationship has moved to "the next level" so to speak. While it is important to remeber to discuss the points above, and anything that bothers you, your relationship is likely to slow down. This is normal. You will have come to a point in your relationship where it is pleasant to sit with your partner and not necessarily talk. This should not be uncomfortable. This is not to say that your relationship stops growing, only slow down. You may even feel like it is at a standstill sometimes, but remember that just the act of being together pushes you closer. Always remember to give someone this special 100% and to remind them, if they forget, that you deserve 100% of them back. Relationships are a 100%/100% obligation.
You may sometimes crave more excitement, with or without your partner. That is why you will need other friends to supplement the attention you get from your significant other. Just remeber to continue to communicate with your special friend. It helps to go places and enjoy new things just with them.
It also helps to remember that they love you, and they you are not perfect and neither are they. You need to accept them how they are, and love them for who they are. You need to understand in what ways they show you love, and the way that you show them love.
This is most of what you will need. However, remember that you have to use you brain in a relationship. There are so many "deal breakers." When discussing view points. Things like where they want to live and how many kids they want to have. If you can't see eye to eye on these, you may never be able to.
Watch out for staying with someone just because you're familiar with them.

Since I believe that happiness comes from 'within' not without, there would not be much my man could do to "make me happy'. I don't depend upon him for my happiness - but what I do depend upon is for him to work his magic and love and care for himself. When he is in good physical health, is eating and resting, exercising, paying attention to his mental and emotional and spiritual health, I am a happy camper. Then, when he adds to this mix, his smile and hugs and kisses, his surprises, his jokes, making me laugh, locking the door at night and knowing that we are all well - I'm happy as a lark! When he goes to work and works for 10 hours and comes home dirty and smelly and asks me "How was "your" day when I know he's tired as all get out, I'm happy. When he gets in the shower and starts singing, washing away his day and prepares for dinner and some tv with me - I'm happy! Even when he falls asleep with his head in my lap, curled up like a child - I am happy. That's what makes me happy. We have survived and lived through another God-given day and all is well.

My man makes me happy. he looks me in the eye. he smiles when I talk and always listens, even if it's pointless. he is sweet, kind, and loving...and has a great sence of humor. when he looks at me I feel like I am the only girl in the world that he ever has and ever will care about. he tells me that I am beautiful, amazing, cute...never hot or sexy.
and he is a good kisser
That's how my boyfriend makes me happy.

Just be up front and honest. It's not the easiest way to be sometimes...but if you really care about the other person's happiness...then just do it.
