What is the best way to do it?

We're both in our 30s.

Seeing each other almost a year.

Things like working on myself, keeping in the gym etc are a given. what else? Things to avoid sliding into, or guys stop doing?

I'd like to figure out how to make her work for my attention from inside a LTR. was easy as hell to do that with no relationship.

Good material to read for example to keep your sellf sharp and red pilled? Im completely unplugged but im sure i get rusty here and there, only the fundamentals staying in my mind.
