8 Things Girls Want In A Relationship

I hear men say it all the time: girls are so confusing. The truth is, we really aren't confusing, or crazy and we don't actually expect too much. We have standards, and that is a good thing. However, having standards doesn't mean you need to be superman all the time. To us, it really is the simple things that count. Though we love when you go above and beyond for us, we love it more when you're consistent with the simple things like honesty, and loyalty. We don't need you to do to much, we just need you to do these 8 things.

1. A guy who makes time for us

We don't expect to see you every day, and we respect that sometimes you need your guy time. However, making time for us is crucial. We want to know that you love to be around us just as we love to be around you. It can be something as simple as watching a movie, or going for a joy ride. Anytime we get to spend together is cherished.

2. A guy who shows us off

A guy who is proud to be with his girlfriend is such a turn on, and a guy who plays it off like she's just a "side-piece" to his friends is a total turn off. Don't be one way with us, and another way with your friends. We want you to be as proud as we are to be with you. Don't be scared to show us off- we want you to do it. Show your friends that you're lucky to have us, because you are.

3. A guy who looks at us like this


This one speaks for itself.

4. A guy who has ambitions

A guy who isn't scared to set goals for himself is very attractive. We want a guy who wants to succeed in life, not a guy who only cares about drinking on the weekends. Be ambitious and tell us what you want in life. A guy who knows what he wants is such a turn on.

5. A guy who is LOYAL

Just like you don't want us answering guys who slide into our DM's, we don't want you answering those girls who Snapchat you on the weekends. We understand that sometimes there are temptations, but all we ask is that you respect us enough to never act on them when we're together. Ask any girl who has ever been cheated on how important loyalty is- please never put a girl through what cheating puts us through.

6. A guy who is honest

Honesty is the best policy. Girls are amazing at finding things out, and usually, we know you're lying before you even speak. If we ask you something, be honest about it. We are much more sympathetic when you come right out and tell us rather than having us find out from someone else.

7. A guy who isn't scared of his feelings

Nothing is more aggravating than being the only one to express feelings in a relationship. A guy who holds things back is not attractive. We want to know how you feel, no matter how intense it is. Don't be the tough guy, be the guy that yells "I love (insert name)" off the top of a building.

8. A guy who cares

If we are upset, we want you to care. If we've had a bad day, we want you to care. If we are just in a bad mood because it's that time of the month, we still want you to care. Nothings hurts more than when a guy says he doesn't care- it honestly makes us feel like we aren't good enough. Care about us just as much as we care about you, and I promise we'll make you happier than you've ever been.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
