Especially in the instance where the love is totally new, it surely has a way of 'shaçking' you.
If you are interested in taking a relationship from 'new' to 'great', here are simple steps to follow:
Don't meet too often

The temptation will be there to meet on every single day of the week, but you need to realise that if you intend to keep the love and excitement on a high for a long time, you need to avoid meeting too often.
Once or twice is just fine. Take note that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Introduction to friends
Your close friends should of course know about your new bae or boo. But the actual introduction needs to be delayed a bit.
Take time to know and understand each other very well first. Introduction to friends can always come later.

Don't get possessive... yet
That you are dating does not mean you own each other. At least, not yet.
Learn to still give each other space. With time, as you grow together in love, the need for space will somehow erode after you have gotten perfectly used to the idea of being in love with that particular lover.
Accept each other’s habits

When you fall in love with someone new, you fall in love with a person who’s distinctive, not the same person as your ex, your dad, or even your ideal man.
Learn to bend to their habits, instead of trying to significantly change them to fit your desires.
Don't rush into sex
Just as the love will be heavy in your brain and on your chest, so will the desire to get down together.
It is advisable to take it slow, though.

It is usually worth the wait.
