Things Girls Wish Guys Knew

Neha Joshi
Here are a few things your girl wants you to know, without her talking to you about them.
"Guys are simple... women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are, only way more mysterious. The whole point is guys are not thinking much. They are just what they appear to be. Tragically."
―Dave Berry
There are a few written (don't know where) rules for relationships men share with women. These rules form the code of conduct in a relationship, if you may take the liberty to call it so. Abiding by this code of conduct isn't a matter of choice; you have to. But how do you do that when you don't even know what it is? The answer is―you have to find out. Either with a few not-so-good experiences or by reading this article. What do you prefer?

10 Things Your Girlfriend Wants You to Know About Her

1. It's STILL The Connect

Of all the things, this one is perhaps the most important. Guys often don't understand that at the end of everything, what matters the most is still the connect that two people share. If there is discomfort in communication, togetherness, and in thought, the relationship is as good as over.

2. Violence ISN'T Macho

Unnecessary violence and macho acts that are uncalled-for, score you the highest negative points. At all times, even among friends, stay away from hurtful comments, bullying, and sly remarks. A man who's mean to most people is perceived as a malicious individual.

3. Yes, it's R-O-M-A-N-C-E

Romance is a magical word. It can help you guys through absolutely anything. So, you think you've done something wrong? Accept it and apologize. Don't just say sorry; do this the romantic way. Get in music, flowers, and some candles. Girls are forgiving by heart, but never take that quality for granted. A girl will like you to woo her even after being together for years.

4. 'I Love You' are the Magical words

I call these the magical words because they indeed work like magic. It is very important to say these words as frequently as possible, and mean them every time. No matter how many times you say it, girls never get bored and you'll always see them smile whenever you say it.

5. Carefree and Careless is NEVER good

Guys often think girls like cool, casual guys hanging around the corner. But very seldom is that the case. Girls like guys who are well grounded; stability ranks really high. A nothing-to-do will definitely get a girl who truly falls for him; unfortunately, only in the movies.

6. The Art of Pampering

Don't we girls wish the guys to master this art? Personally, I feel this is the most important of the things girls wish guys knew about. You have to pamper your girl. You need to take care of her in a way nobody does. Pamper her with small picnics, trips, and gifts. However, the most important part is that you pamper your girl with your time and attention.

7. Basic Details Aren't Basic After All

Girls expect their guy to know everything about them. Favorites play the most important part here. Favorite color, favorite movie, favorite song, favorite restaurant, favorite cuisine, favorite author, etc. Other basic details such as ambitions, academic history, parental background, etc., are important too.

8. The Very Important Art of Listening

It's very important to listen to your girl. Specially when she's talking about things relating to the heart. Always hear her out. Try to interrupt only when necessary. You need to be prepared for one-sided communication once in a while.

9. Too Touchy? Not Good!

This dating tip for men is relevant for those who love hurrying into things. This is something all women and girls wish guys knew about them. They don't like guys who hug, hold hands, and kiss for no real reason. This can make the girl extremely uncomfortable and can also send wrong signals from your end. If you have just met the girl, avoid holding hands and kissing in movies, cafes, etc.

10. Yes, Gifts are ALWAYS Welcome

Small ones, big ones, nice ones, not-so-nice ones―gifts are always welcome. Anything you give will be appreciated and treasured. Once in a while, buy something nice for your girl and make her feel good. Even flowers work wonders. Also, don't wait for an occasion.
You see, it's not that difficult to know women. Pamper and protect her; everything else will take care of itself.
