1-What To Talk About On Date Night
If your guy is failing to initiate a good old-fashioned moment of picking you up, or taking you to dinner date night, at least once a month, it may not be out of laziness. Even if you’ve been together for years, there is a pressure on date night that just isn’t there when you’re watching TV at home together. Your guy has to remind you why he’s charming, interesting and entertaining. He has to bring his best self to the table, and if he’s being in a relationship for a long time, he may be rusty.
2-That His Gifts Aren’t Good Enough
If you, even jokingly, criticise or tease a gift he gives you, he instantly gets into defensive mode. He seems angry, he tells you you’re ungrateful, but what it really is his insecurity. Men actually worry a lot about getting you a gift that you’ll enjoy – one that is romantic, thoughtful and useful. Do his poor ego a favour and gush over the frog earrings he bought you.
3-That Your Best Friend Likes Him
He’ll tell you he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him, and that your friends can take him or leave him, and that you’re the only one whose opinion matters, but that’s not true: he wants your BF on his side. He knows that if she likes him, she’ll be the one pulling you away from a swarm of men hitting on you at a bar when he is not there.
4-That You’re Getting Bored In Bed
Women feel so much anxiety to be sexy, more exciting, more adventurous, more seductive – you name it – in bed, but men have all the same fears! Think about simply the titles of feature stories on women’s magazine covers they walk by, “How to be a Goddess in the bedroom” “100 new positions to try this summer!” As far as men can see, women are privy to every single thing about sex. And they need to catch up.
5-That You Can’t See Yourself Marrying Him
If you’re a confident, independent, unique woman, who has her own life, any guy you date will worry about what place he holds in your thrilling and fulfilling life. Sure, there are women out there who simply live for their men and have no lives of their own – their boyfriend’s don’t worry about whether or not they’ll marry them. But independent women intimidate men, making them wonder, “Does she even need a husband?”
6-That You’re Silently Unhappy
Let’s face it: women can be martyrs. It’s in the nature of women as maternal beings to take on the pain and struggles of others – to spend their energy on the happiness and improvement of other people. And for this reason, we can’t forget to ask, “But am I getting anything out of this?” And men get that. You say you’re happy going with him to all his work functions because he needs the moral support, and skipping girls night to listen to his stresses but he wonders – are you really happy about this?
7-That You Think He’s Unaccomplished
A man’s career and financial success is one and the same with who he is. If a man’s career isn’t going well, he feels incompetent and insecure in all areas of his life. There’s little you can do about this besides praising him for his accomplishments regularly. But men will always worry that they could be trying harder and doing more in your eyes.
8-That You Wish He Had More Money
Ask most men, and they’ll say they don’t see anything wrong with a woman wanting them to have money. Men just don’t think this is superficial. In fact, they find it totally reasonable. Even if you’re satisfied with eating chips on date nights and shop at the local market, he wants to treat you nicer, and can’t help but worry that you want to be treated more.
9-That You Don’t Like His Clothes
When you tease his old T-shirt, he stubbornly holds onto it and says you just don’t understand it. But you’ll probably notice he doesn’t wear it around you again. In fact, you’ll probably notice he went out and bought four more of that one shirt you did say you liked. Deep down, he cares that you like his wardrobe. He knows when he is well dressed, you feel proud to walk around with him.
10-That You Compare Him To Other Men
Women may be more openly envious of one another, but that doesn’t mean men aren’t constantly sizing one another up. Next time your guy says, “What a douche” about some guy he bumps shoulders with at the bar, you can bet he thinks that “douche” has a better set of arms, bank account, head of hairs or clothes.
