7. Romance us.
It’s not classy to ask us about making love on a first date or speak about your “equipment” and how we’ll be pleased with what we find down there.
We appreciate a little romance. And when I say romance, I’m not talking about expensive dinners on a yacht. I’m talking about getting to know a woman’s mind and spirit–and then her body.
We’ll more readily trust your intentions if we feel seen and heard. When we feel appreciated and cherished, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you find between the sheets.
8. Take responsibility.
Occasionally, we do things that hurt one another in relationships. It’s inevitable. When feelings are hurt, we both need to take responsibility for our contribution. So, please take ownership for your share.
Don’t say, “you’re too sensitive” or “you’re too critical.” If you’ve done something wrong, be open to discussing it. We’ll do the same.
Let’s talk about the issues that come up and take responsibility for the emotions we feel – the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
9. Just listen, no fixing.
Most women like to talk…a lot. We talk about our feelings, our friends, our day. Mostly, we talk about that stuff with our girlfriends.
But sometimes, we like to share it all with you. We don’t always need a solution. Sometimes, we want you to just listen to us.
Please don’t roll your eyes or interrupt. Please don’t offer your advice if we don’t ask for it.
We know you want to help, but sometimes, just being a sounding board is enough. In return, we’ll listen to you with the same respect.
10. We want to be cared for.
The bad boy may be alluring to some women, but ultimately we want a good man. We want to be cared for, cherished, and loved.
If you do the dishes for us, don’t do it just to get laid. Do it because you want to make us happy and support us.
We know the difference, and it means the world to us to have your support. We’ll do the same for you.
