How To Be A Good Boyfriend To Your Girlfriend by mrkunlex(m): 8:06pm On Dec 07, 2019
#1 Treat her like a lady
Boyfriends aren’t born great. They become good
boyfriends by knowing how to behave with women
and the girl they love. One of the first steps in getting
the admiration of a girl you like is to treat her like a
lady. Learn to be chivalrous and understand what it
takes to make her feel special.
It’s easy to play nice until you get the girl, and treat
her like you don’t care once the chase is over, but
guys who do that will never be able to hold on to a
great girl who’s desired by all guys.
#2 Respect her as a person
You can’t expect your girlfriend to do everything you
want or behave the way you expect her to, just
because she’s your girlfriend. Remember that she’s
just your girlfriend, you don’t own her and shouldn’t
expect her to behave like a trained monkey just
because she’s likes you or you’re getting some action
in bed with her.
If you want to know how to be a good boyfriend,
learn to treat your girlfriend with respect and pay
attention to her needs. Don’t take her words lightly or
ignore her advice just because she’s a ‘girl’. If you
truly do love your girlfriend, you would respect her
too.
#3 Remember the special days
It’s really arrogant when a guy forgets a special
occasion and then says it’s no big deal. If your own
special day can be important, why can’t you
understand that women give equal attention to their
special days too. Try to make a conscious effort to
understand your girlfriend and remember the special
days if she’s indeed important to you.
#4 Be caring and affectionate
For men, what matters is physical intimacy and sex.
For women, sex is important, but they do appreciate
a lot of affection too. Just like sex matters to men,
cuddles and affection matter just as much for
women. Show your affection by spending time
holding hands or sitting down in each other’s arms
while having a conversation.
#5 Don’t take your girlfriend for granted
One of the most important aspects of knowing how
to be a good boyfriend is to avoid taking your
girlfriend for granted. If she gives you a foot massage
or cooks a delicious meal for you over the weekend,
just don’t take your girlfriend for granted and expect
the same every weekend. In a great relationship,
both partners have to understand the efforts of their
lover and realize that every simple gesture is a sign
of love and affection that should never be taken for
granted.
#6 Support your girlfriend when she’s in need
All of us need a helpful hand when we’re in need.
You don’t need to be clingy and become her Man
Friday who’s there to answer her every beck and call.
But when your girlfriend genuinely asks you for
advice or help, be there to help her out. It’s always
reassuring for a girl to know that she can depend on
her man for a helpful hand.
#7 Learn to apologize
It may be egoistically painful to apologize, but
sometimes, it’s a generous and yet humble move
when a man can apologize to his girlfriend even if
he’s not the one who’s wrong. In the heat of an
argument, it’s easy to get egoistic and have tempers
flying on a high, but always remember that a simple
apology can end the fight and help both of you
communicate better. At times, apologize to your
girlfriend even if it’s not your fault for the sake of the
relationship.
#8 Listen to her needs
Communicate and understand her needs and wants.
Try to understand your girlfriend’s feelings, and even
if she ever does sulk or behave grumpily, try to
understand what’s going on in her mind instead of
retaliating back in anger. Sometimes, women may
find it easier to sit by themselves or throw an angry
fit instead of getting straight to the point. It’s one of
the differences in the way men and women react to
pain or anger.
#9 Don’t try to dominate her
Most guys have a tendency to dominate their
girlfriends. It may start out subtly in little ways like
watching a favorite show or telling the girlfriend to
avoid speaking to a few particular friends. But
eventually, the urge to control a partner grows to an
uncontrollable level, especially after marriage and
even more so if the man’s the sole breadwinner.
This is one of the worst ways of trying to hold a
relationship together. Instead of trying to dominate,
learn to communicate. You can’t cage a lover or try to
manipulate them into becoming what you want them
to be. Love is about the attraction between two
individuals. If you try to change someone, it’s not love
that’s holding both of you together, it’s your insecurity
and cowardliness.
#10 Push your girlfriend to be a better person
Most guys assume a relationship is all about being
happy and in love, and having a great time in bed.
But that’s not where love ends. Help your girlfriend
become a better person and help her overcome her
flaws. When both of you try to make each other
better individuals by overcoming each other’s flaws,
you can achieve more happiness and satisfaction out
of life. Learn to positively criticize your girlfriend and
help her with her flaws at the same time. By helping
her become a better person, she’ll love you and
respect you a lot more.
