If you are interested in finally unlocking the secret to dealing with girls' emotions, listen up, and listen up good. As a female with raging hormones and indecisiveness, I know how hard we are to handle. So let me teach you how to take care of your princess' moods as effortlessly as Lilo takes care of Stitch's tantrums.
1. Think before you act.
If you see that she's acting different, try to figure out what upset her. We've all experienced the notorious, "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I'm fine" scenario, and to be frank, this is no better than the horridly bland conversation of, "Hey, what's up?" "Not much, you?" So take a second to decide if you think you know what's on her mind, so that you can directly ask her how she feels about said situation. And if you have no clue....
2. Ask her why she's upset.
And because you've already taken the time to think before this point, you're now prepared for any reaction. Make her want to tell you the reason. Look into her eyes. Nod when she speaks. It doesn't matter what she says, but make her feel like you want to listen. Sounds stupid, but hey, how many times have you gone wrong trying this? But don't forget to ask why she's upset, instead of asking if she's upset, because you already know the answer.
3. Admit you're wrong.
Before you stop reading right here, hear me out. You may be right, you or you may be dead wrong... whatever the case is, if she says something you did upset her, the worst thing you can do is try to point out that she's wrong for getting upset. Trust me on this, because believe it or not, girls don't just get upset for no reason.
4. Offer a solution.
How can you make things right? What can you do to cheer her up? Because you've already taken the time to listen to what bothered her, she is expecting you to do something differently so said problem doesn't happen again. But the trick on this one is to not give her an option as a question. Don't ask, "What would you like me to do differently?" or, "Would you like me to ______ instead?" If girls can hardly decide if they absolutely want Chipotle for dinner or not, making them choose what to do while they are upset is just asking for trouble. Be confident in your offer for a solution.
5. Wait for her to get out of her rut.
If you have made it this far, you're in the home stretch. She is wanting to see if you'll keep your word of making things right. So even if she makes it seem like your solution wasn't good enough right off the bat, work at it through action for a few days, and you'll see her come around. I know... Us girls are so annoying and we're the definition of testing one's patience. But if you do these things, I guarantee your girl will be looking at you the way she looks at her desserts in no time.
