11 Guys Reveal What Sweet Things They Do For Girls That They Wish Someone Would Do For Them

1. "Buy dinner. Money Sucks..."

Guys are usually the ones who do, or are expected to do, sweet things for their girl. Open doors, buy them flowers, surprise them, and do all the little things we find so sweet.

Often times we forget that guys appreciate the little things too. People tend to get caught up in the manly man stereotype that its weird for a guy to speak up and say how he feels or what he'd like.

So, I went out and asked some male classmates, friends, and coworkers "What is one sweet thing guys do for girls that you wish someone would do for you?" and here were their responses.

1. "Buy dinner. Money Sucks..."

Yes, it is becoming more common for women to pay for dinner, or their own dinner, but others still believe its the man's "obligation" to pay. So, no matter how much they insist "i've got it, don't worry!" insist even more and don't take no for an answer because they're probably just as poor as you.

2. "Surprise me. Could be anything from a gift, to a date, or to just being there when I get home."

Often guys will get their girls gifts and they show their appreciation but never do something like that in return. So, plan a couple getaway for the day or weekend, take them on a date, get that miniscule item they keep mentioning they need or want. They're not asking for much.

3. "Play with my hair. Its, like, the best feeling ever!"

media.giphy.com

Oh yeah it is! I wish someone would play with my hair too! Guys will brush their fingers through their girls hair all the time but they enjoy it too! So, return the favor every once in a while.

4. "Help me carry something..."

Often times guys offer to carry something heavy just to be sweet, but its not common for girls to return the favor. Sure girls like to see their man all macho and strong, but sharing the load is sweeter and I'm sure much appreciated from the guy.

5. "Compliment me!"

Giphy

Tell him how handsome/sexy he is, how sweet he is, how you feel safe around him, and how helpful he's being when he takes out the trash. Tell him thing you would want to here, and beautiful is a word that can be used to describe a man. Somewhere along the line it became more feminine.

6. "Buy me flowers..."

media.giphy.com

Flowers are beautiful parts of nature! Guys can enjoy them too, I guarantee if you ask a guy their favorite flower, they will have one. Surprise them with a bouquet of their favorite flowers, everytime they see that flower now, they'll think of you.

7. "It's great, and hot, when they make the first move..."

Giphy

All it takes is a "hey, my names..." and you've shown interest. Guys think its attractive when a girl makes the first move, whether its an introduction, asking them out, or moving in for the first kiss. It may be nerve racking, but guys feel that way too, so if you want it and you're pretty sure they do too, just go for it.

8. "Ask how my day was, and actually listen..."

media.giphy.com

Put your phone down and actually listen to how your man's day went. Believe it or not, they do listen to everything you have to complain about, so return the favor. Sit down, make eye contact, and just listen.

9. "Say what they mean or want..."

Giphy

Guys are usually pretty straight foward with what they say and do, and it drives them crazy when we say "nothing" is wrong or we "don't care" when we actually do. Its something all girls do that confuses the heck out of guys, so just try to be more clear with your guy.

10. "Hang out with my friends too!"

media.giphy.com

It's quite common that the girl is more of a social butterfly than the guy, therefore the couple winds up hanging out more with her friends. If you want to impress your guy, make his friends like you and hang out with them. Now, this doesn't mean ditch your friends, just find a balance between who's friends you hang out with.

11. "A kiss on the forehead, or nose, or cheek. Just little signs of affection..."

media.giphy.com

Guys appreciate the little things too. It makes them feel just as loved as they make us feel.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
