We've asked girls the truth of what they wish guys knew to save you all the trouble of guessing. Here's your golden ticket from sad boy hours to being the Kanye to her Kim.
It's the little things.
"Knowing our favorite Chipotle or Starbucks order is enough to leave us smiling and really shows you're listening."
"Bring back old fashion ideas like opening the door, bringing flowers for no reason."
"Chivalry isn't dead."
"Being a gentleman never goes out of style. Like holding the door open when we go to a place, even car doors."
"Sometimes we don't want expensive gifts or extravagant dates. Sometimes the little things is what makes us happiest."
"I'm fine" means I'm really not. Be there for us.
"For me it's to know that the one thing we want the most when we're not okay is for them to just comfort us. A hug more than anything really. Even if it's because of them that we aren't okay, just reassure us that you love us no matter what. Show us that you'll be there no matter what. Show us that we'll be okay together in the end."
"I wish guys knew that just because we want to be left alone sometimes, doesn't mean we want them to leave completely. Sometimes silent company is all that we need.
"I wish they knew how some comments could actually hurt us. Like even though we can be close friends, if you joke around about our appearances that can still make us feel insecure EVEN if it's meant to be a light-hearted joke."
"I wish guys were aware about all the other things have to worry about when it comes to our safety and roles already set for us. Guys don't realize how scared we are to do certain things."
"Read the room, and talk it out."
Guys have feelings too..and that's a good thing.
"Be emotionally open, and attentive towards the conversation."
"Sweet guys>tough guys."
"Don't be dry, your texts and investment into the conversation should match mine."
"When guys talk to you about what their passionate about."
"Tell me what bothers you. Let us be better for one another! Don't ball up thoughts, concerns, and feelings. I'm here for you and you're here for me. Why can't we be open? I won't judge or think less of you."
Biggest turn offs...
"I really hate generalizing like all guys or girls are this and that, so I feel like in general I wish the importance of communication was expressed. I feel in lots of relationships with both men and women communication isn't viewed as essential or they hide things from people. Open communication is the way to go!"
"I wish guys understood that girl friendships usually function a lot differently than their guy friendships."
"That we f*cking don't PMS every single day. We can get mad without being on our period."
"Girls get annoyed when you cancel plans on them."
"Rule number one: just don't be a f*ckboy."
What makes a girl into you? What ACTUALLY matters?
"Girls enjoy physical touches that aren't always sexual, like forehead and cheek kisses."
"Come up with cute spontaneous date ideas (or be spontaneous in general)."
"We wanna hear "I like you", be upfront."
"I wish guys knew that apologies and gifts don't mean as much as actual change."
"i wish guys knew how much we actually pay attention and observe."
"When a guy notices we are interested in them and gets our obvious AF hints."
"I wish they knew how long it took for us to get ready... hours go into making us look good."
"How we can tell when they're trying or remember stuff about us or make a personal gift rather than buy it."
