Do You Know What Girls Want?

Relationships are more complicated than girls are.

Do You Know What Girls Want?
Elizabeth Turner

Men always tend to think that women are the most complicated creatures on the planet, and in reality that's not true. Most girls don't need a lot. Wants and needs are two completely different things, and once in a relationship, things should only get better. So, pay close attention and I will give you all the tools needed to figure out a girl.

Being the girl that I am, I haven't found myself in a happy relationship anywhere these days. I don't know why I run into the same issues. The problem I've seen constantly is, people are selfish. They don't want to take the time to get to know someone. They're always too busy. I am young and I have all the time in the world to find the "one".

1. TAKE TIME.

No matter what it is, whether it be sending a little text message saying, "I miss you" or taking the time to plan a small date; time is all it takes. It may be true that girls are indecisive, but... that is a problem that can be fixed with a simple solution of being straight forward.

2. CONSISTENCY IS KEY.

You don't want to be with someone one day, and then find them not replying to your text messages or returning your calls. Which brings me to my next point.

3. COMMUNICATE.

If you feel a certain way, there is no sense in keeping things bottled up. Let your person know how you feel. I have had a problem with being able to balance out having time for myself, work, and school. Those things alone are a lot to deal with, then you add trying to get into a relationship on top of that... it's hard. The saying, "You make time for the things you want to make time for" may not always apply to you and your situation, but I have found it to be true over and over.

4. BE HONEST.

Girls want to be told the truth, even if it isn't the truth... make it sound like it is. Boys should not just go around telling their girlfriends they look fat in something, obviously. But, she took the time getting ready and looking good, you should a least acknowledge it. I think the worst is when a guy asks me how my day was or how I'm doing and I tell him, and he doesn't say anything or says something like "cool". I would never want to talk to him again, because he doesn't sound interested.

I would hope most of these things are common sense, but for those of you (including myself) that are having some troubles theses are some things that may help.

5. CARE.

If you don't care, I don't care. And you can always tell when someone doesn't care, as much as you want to convince yourself they do... they don't. Oh, and boys be nice.. girls love a sweet guy.

This may have been more about relationships than about girls, but it's a girl's perspective. And, I know God is somewhere building me the perfect guy, and knowing that I'm OK waiting for him.

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.
