Even though his girlfriend, Karolyn Pho, isn’t acting in the new movie The Company You Keep with Shia LaBeouf, she still kept her beau company recently on set. According to People, Pho wore casual clothes and was friendly with crewmembers while visiting.  She even shook the hand of director Robert Redford. Later, both LaBeouf and Pho managed to sneak off set and enjoy some alone time at a nearby coffee shop. Then, not quite ready to separate, they stolled arm-in-arm on the way back.

What are some ways to support your partner’s career?

Cupid’s Advice:

Even if you don’t fully understand your significant other’s career, it’s important to show your support. Cupid has some ways to do just that:

1. Be there: Be aware of your mate’s career moves and changes so that you can support and encourage them each step of the way. Pep talks at the right times certainly couldn’t hurt.

2. Promote relaxation: Help your partner take their mind off of hectic or stressful times at work by doing something fun. Theme parks, movie theatres, or even a short interlude at a coffee shop like Karolyn Pho and Shia Labeouf work great.

3. Show understanding: If your partner has a chaotic job, they may not always be home on time, or they may have to travel a lot.  Be willing to travel with your partner, and if that’s not possible, make the time you have with them count. Whatever you do, don’t make them feel guilty.

Shia LaBeouf’s young relationship is already starting to blossom. UsMagazine.com reports that the Transformers star is beginning to expand his horizons thanks to his five-month relationship with girlfriend Karolyn Pho.  “A cheese plate?  That’s a very 25-year-old deal,” LaBeouf said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I can get down with some fig jelly and some cheese on a cracker…  [Karolyn’s] having me try different things. I was scared of fish, ’cause of my upbringing, being Jewish. Gefilte can ruin your entire seafood life.” Aside from broadening his eating horizons, the actor now admits his sprawl in February wasn’t the most mature move. “I have no excuses. I’m not happy with it, but I don’t think it’s a calamity,” he said.

What are some signs that your partner is beginning to mature?

Cupid’s Advice:

A maturing partner is a good sign that your serious relationship is heading down the right path. Here are some telling signs that your partner is maturing:

1. Pleading guilty: It takes a bigger person to admit that he or she has made a mistake without trying to cover it up. If your partner does this, then that’s a good sign.

2. Open communication: A good sign of a healthy partnership is how well you two can talk – whether it’s about the weather, what you ate for lunch or personal issues. If it seems that no topic is off-limits, your partner is certainly maturing.

3. Family reunions: If your lover wants to show you off in front of his or her family, then there’s a good possibility he or she is serious about you and the relationship, or at the minimum, they see a future.

Despite his recent split with Carey Mulligan, Shia LaBeouf seems to have rebounded nicely.  He was recently spotted holding hands with a new gal pal, who an insider identified as Karolyn Pho. According to UsMagazine.com, Pho is a stylist. Even though LaBeouf seems to waste no time jumping from relationship to relationship, he insists he’s no ladies’ man. He told Details, “I’m not great with women, dude.  I’m not a closer. I can chat all night long, but I’m not the guy who goes, ‘Okay, back to my room.'”

How can you tell if he’s a ladies’ man?

Cupid’s Advice:

1. His eyes wonder: He’s probably a player if his eyes are meeting every part of your body except your eyes. Of course every guy is going to check you out at some point, but if that’s all he’s interested in, beware.

2. He uses terms of endearment: It’s one thing if you’ve been dating a guy for a long time and he uses terms like “baby” or “girl,” but if you’ve just met and he’s already using pet names, chances are he’s a ladies’ man.

3. He talks about his workout routine (a lot): If he can’t stop talking about his body and how often he works out, he’s selling himself to you. It’s a good bet that he’s not actually interested in getting to know the deeper you.
