Most experts say that becoming the number one team in the
world of cricket isn't as challenging as retaining the numero uno slot.
Similarly, more than
getting a girlfriend, keeping a girlfriend happy is more challenging. It
requires some degree of tact, planning and a bit of enthusiasm. Here, are a few
tips to help you keeping your girlfriend happier:
Be Involved In Her
Friends & Encourage Reciprocal Behavior
This doesn’t mean
that you start interfering with her circle of friends but you should be
comfortable going out with them. Don’t hesitate to take out two or three of her
friends the next time you plan a shopping trip. Don’t say “No” to attending
parties of her friends. Similarly, encourage her to meet your friends. This
will underline that you are proud of your girlfriend, don’t feel let down by
her and are ready to accept every aspect of her social or personal life.
Don’t Let Her Catch
Your Flirting
If you really want to
keep your girlfriend happy, ensure that you are never caught gazing or even
complimenting other women. Doing so is a sure recipe for disaster no matter how
accommodating your girlfriend might be. Ensure that your mailbox and mobile or
any other digital device is free of photos of your ex-girlfriends or even
female acquaintances. There is nothing worse than a jealous girlfriend and you
don’t want that kind of heat on yourself. When outdoors, never let her catch
you glancing at other women. This is just plain rude and is bound to offend
her.
Anniversaries Are
Fine But Remember Smaller Things
So you are doing the
basics for keeping your girlfriend happy by remembering all the important dates
like birthdays and anniversaries. However, if you really want her happy,
remember the smaller things. Gift her things that she might have just hinted at
once or sometime in the distant past. Send her reminders about how gorgeous she
looked when you met her on the first date. Compliment her for the
not-so-obvious things like new nail-paint or a neutral-shade gloss that makes
her lips more sumptuous. Your praises should be brief-yet-detailed and ideally,
told to her in-person and not via SMS or emails.
Don't Be An Addict
Whether you like to
gulp down too many vodka shots or are one of those nicotine addicts, the fact
is that these habits tend to repulse most women. This applies even if your
girlfriend smokes and drinks herself—yes, this means that you guys have a lot
more in common but it doesn’t mean that she is going to dote on someone
perennially hungover or whose breath always smells of cigarettes. Secondly,
this shows utter disregard for your own health—a sign that you don’t treasure
your well-being too much.
Listen To What Your
Girlfriend Says
Yup, this is the most
challenging of all things to do. Most girls are bound to talk a lot and present
a whole lot of opinions about everything that surrounds us. They get easily
offended if their men don’t share their verbal enthusiasm. However, you need to
develop immunity to the blabber and remember the crux of the conversations at
least. Women crave men who have are thoughtful about their opinions. Having
interactive conversations is also the litmus test of whether your relationship
is still going strong.
Don’t Get Into Public
Arguments
Couples are bound to
have arguments, often heated ones that could be in a public place. However,
this is worst thing you could do. Even if you feel that she started the
argument, try to douse it for a few hours. Arguing in public and engaging
attention of passers-by is just piling on the humiliation. Further, if you are
the one shouting more and she has some sort of an emotional breakdown, you can
kiss your relationship goodbye.
Lie Lesser &
Smarter
Most guys with
girlfriends would say that lying at some point is almost inevitable. Yes, this
is true but you need to be smart to the extent that you don’t get caught
repeatedly. This doesn’t mean that we are encouraging you to two-time your
girlfriend. Lie only when it is absolutely unavoidable and get your back-up
story right. Most importantly, try to lie lesser and you will feel a lot more
comfortable around her.
