If you think of a romance as a job, you're in trouble already.
But I'll assume you're asking about roles. This is an issue that was once clearly understood - men worked in the outside world, whereas women took care of domestic things. This model has come under fierce attack from the feminist camp. Nowadays there is no standard (unless you believe what the religions have to say). Couples make their own rules.
A relationship is like an investment. The two of you are investing in each other to have a better future together. This can include pooling resources (some couples have a joint bank account, others don't), sharing expenses like rent or mortgage, sharing child care, having fun together, etc. It's a good idea to talk about this in depth with your partner, and to establish rules (no cheating, no working too much or drinking or drugging and so on).

It's not a job, it's about having fun, sharing things, doing things together. If it's work, then you're in the wrong relationship. Just have fun. A boyFRIEND or a girlFRIEND should be first and foremost a FRIEND.

Being in a relationship is a job for real!!. You have to get to know him. His likes and dislikes. You have to know if your ready for a commited relationship. Love is only four letters but they last long. Don't work so hard to show love and affection some men are prone to ease away if they feel like they are being presure in the realtionship. So do you and let him know what's good. That means tell him how you feel and if he wit then take it slow sweetie

To share new experiences and express your feelings about goals and desires. By being open and up front on what you expect and are willing to donate to the relationship you can quickly reach a decision on the value of the relationship. Do not be demanding or submissive. Men really respect those that stand their ground and yet accept ideas of others now and then.

Scary it is not a job. If you care for a person you enjoy doing things with them. As for do, do what you like to. I have never seen a question like this. There really is no limit to what you do. Just go with your feelings. But do not smother them we all need our space. This is where trust comes in. Be true, honest and open, all should be well. Good luck.

Well, considering you are most likely way young, this relationship will never last. Preconceived notions of who does what are wrong, as the only "requirement" is mutual respect. Don;t worry about anything and have fun; if he tries to make you do things you don't want to do then he is not wielding mutual respect.

That is exactly whats wrong with society... nobody really has a job. Just be yourself! IF you like him/her you will naturally do things for that other person that are not forced because "those are the things we are supposed to do". If you are attracted you will hug, makeout and have sex regularly. IF you bond you will smile, be happy and do whatever floats your boat. BE YOURSELF...

Well it really comes naturally. The better you get to know eachother the more you will know how he wants things and how you want things. And if something is done wrong then it needs to be discussed. Just be there for one another and care about them ONLY!

To care or eachother and respect eachother. And arguements are okay, but you can NEVER let them destroy a good friendship, or relationship, unless it is something huge... and you've already given them a 2nd chance.
