“Hello, I heard this place was good for food and I was wondering if I could order an entrée of you with a side of please deal with my ‘tude.”
Oh how we wish it were this easy. Life would be so simple if we could just take everything we look for in a man and put in an order for him to be cooked up just the way we like it. Yes, it is more than okay to have standards, but is it possible that we’ve been making these expectations a little too difficult for men to reach?
1. Read My Mind
There comes a time where a boy messes up and we tend to keep how it makes us feel to ourselves. We hope that they will realize that what they are doing/ have done as stupid and they’ll be running back to us with a cutesy apology in hand. Let’s be honest. We expect them to read our minds because what seems so obvious to us is a completely different ball game for them. If you’re in this type of situation, just speak what’s on your mind. It’s the only way you’re going to get anything done and the only way both parties will end up knowledgeable of a situation in need of a fix. Remember, communication is key.
2. Text Me Back!
Okay, so we’ve all had those moments where a guy texts you out of the blue or usually on a regular basis and all of a sudden stops replying for hours. Our minds run wild and we think of the worst possible scenario. “Is he with another girl?” “Did I do something wrong?” “What could possibly be SOOO important that he can’t just send back one quick text to tell me he’s busy?”. Well ladies, here’s my answer. I. Have. No. Clue. They think way different than us and don’t feel that it’s as much of a big deal to answer right away. It’s just how they are, don’t over think it. However, if it’s starting to happen more than once, sort of like a ‘step down’ effect over time, ask him why and if he tries to tell you “I’ve been busy”. Do not believe it, busy is the word that determines how much someone actually wants to talk to you. Go the extra mile for someone who wants to meet you half way instead.
3. Ouu Cologne (heart eyes)
A man that smells good says a lot about the way they take care of themselves. We all tend to like a guy who can be a little extra.
4. Tell Me What YOU'RE Thinking
When it comes to guys, they will only really tell you how
they feel and what they’re thinking when you’re not asking. Yes, you could ask
them, but you will never get the full story and the only way to get that is to
let them come to you. When they’re comfortable with sharing something personal
with you they will, but whatever you do don’t push them. Pushing a guy to do
something he doesn’t want to do will only push him farther away from you. Just
let time do its thang and while you’re at it you do yours. I’m sure you don’t
tell him everything personal about you, so don't expect a lobster on a silver platter.
5. 'Relationship Goals'
They’re not real so just stop. If you’re basing a
relationship off of “goals” you see in Insta pictures, trust me, you're going to end up disappointed.
6. Abs-solutely
Come on ladies. They all can’t be a Channing Tatum.
7. Show Me, Tell Me
It's pretty self-explanatory if I do say so myself. We expect what a guy says to match up to what he does. Most of the time a guy simply contradicts himself by saying one thing but doing another, keep your eye out for this ladies. Actions before words any day.
