Naturally, there are thousands of other ways you could ruin your relationship, but these are some of the easiest to make.

To be in a real relationship, both of you have to be in love. If you brag too much, she is going to find that creepy and off-putting. If she has decided to be in a relationship with you that means that she loves you and you don't need to brag to her in order to win her love.
You should be a hero in your girlfriend's eyes and she will expect you to be confident in your abilities and opinions. Try not to be scared or anxious and remember to show your best. If you project confidence, she is going to respect you even more.

Surprising someone will not be called "surpassing" if you ask for approval.

If you are spineless, your girlfriend will not feel like she is protected or supported by you. If you can't stand up for yourself, how are you going to stand up for her? You need to be a hero to her (not in a comic book style though). You are the man of her dreams.
Talking about sex most of the time you spend together could bring about some terrible issues. She might think that you are with her just because of sex. Try to talk about the future of your relationship or make plans about going somewhere together.

If you are in a relationship with someone, it means that you are prepared to sacrifice many things just to make your partner happy and your partner will also sacrifice many things to make you happy. You should never be selfish because that is the path to loneliness.
