Harley Street dating and relationship expert Louise Van Der Velde had this advice:'Relationships work when one whole person attracts another whole person。
哈利街的婚姻关系专家路易斯凡德尔维尔德提出一则建议：“当一个人的全部特征完全彻底地吸引另外一个人，两人之间才会迸发爱情”。
'If you’re giving 50 per cent, and the other is giving 50 per cent, it’s not going to work. Both ofyou need to commit to giving the relationship no less than 100 per cent. And I think it’s sohealthy for people to be honest about their expectations in a relationship。
“如果你只给予对方50%，而对方同样如此，那你们的爱情就不可能持久。你们双方都需要给予这份感情百分之百的努力。而且我认为，人们需要诚实地对待自己的感情期望，这样才是健康状态。”

他还说：“他们遇到自己喜欢的人，一起找点乐子然后迅速离开。如果你打算成为一个成功的网络恋爱高手，你必须学会如何结束一段感情同时不会引起太多麻烦。另外这项调查给到我们的一个信息是：女人喜欢有钱男人。亘古不变。”
