Note for girls:
Don’t belittle him…especially in front of others. Putting your boyfriend down and making him feel bad about himself hurts…even if he acts tough. But when you encourage him and cheer him on, you are breathing life into his soul.
Ask his opinion. Guys crave to be looked at as a leader…as someone whose ideas are important. Guys want to know you are interested in what they think. Take the time to listen to their input.
Don’t use your body to manipulate him. Girls, you have an incredible power to control guys with your appearance. Don’t be a tease and lead him on with your sexuality.
Be patient with him when he has a difficult time expressing himself. Many guys have a hard time communicating, especially their thoughts and emotions. Don’t try to put words in his mouth, you’ll only show him you think he doesn’t know what to say.
Know you don’t own him. Just because the two of you may be dating, doesn’t put you in charge of his life. Don’t demand he be there for you 24 hours a day.
