You are a great boyfriend, but there are always a few things that seem to go over your head. Your girlfriend gets upset about what she says are "the little things."

These are the things you likely don't pay attention to or even think about, but if you want to keep your girlfriend happy, you need to correct the little things you let go unnoticed.

1. Listen and Respond

Not everything needs a response, especially when she is ranting about homework or work drama. Listen to what she has to say and comfort her in her tantrum. She is not looking for you to have a magical solution to fix her problems, she just wants someone important to hear her out.

2.  Tell Her, Don’t Ask

You may get tired of your girlfriend when you ask her to go somewhere and she asks you the same question to double check if you really mean what you say. To avoid this, just tell her you her to go with you somewhere. Women like the satisfaction of feeling needed. In fact, it may turn her on a little that you are taking command.

3. Let Her Know Why You Are MIA

If you have been texting and you know you are stop replying or reply much slower, let her know. Tell her you are going to be away from your phone for a while so she is not constantly looking out for a message that is not going to come.

4. Outside Female Friends Are Great, But There Are Boundaries

This goes for both parties. If you have a friend that is a girl then respect the boundaries that your girlfriend has likely set. She probable has not said them aloud because she wants to be the 'cool' girlfriend. Keep the side hugging to a minimum and talk about her every time you are together to a minimum. She wants to be the 'cool' girlfriend, but just know a piece of her does not trust your friend that is a girl.

5. She Cares What You Think About Her Outfit

Before she even asks, you should throw a compliment her way. If she does ask you, stray away from the thoughtless compliments such as "you look good" or "I Like that". Tell her something specific about the outfit, such as "that color compliments your skin" or "I like it when you wear that shirt". She will appreciate compliments that she can't hear from random people on the street.

Correct these little things and even ask a friend what other little things guys should correct or pay more attention to.

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.

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.
