1. There is a reason that she picked you.

She didn’t just find a random guy and say, “Oh he looks decent", and go for him. She took the time and effort to get to know you.

2. She knows you have had other relationships; she doesn’t want to hear about them.

Take it from someone who knows, she knows. She knows who you have been with, but she doesn’t want the details. She doesn’t want to picture you with someone else other than her.

3. But she does picture you with someone else.

ALL girls, no matter what they say, will get jealous when they see you with another girl. It is FACT. They may play it cool at first but inside they want to hurt that girl that liked your Instagram photo from 3 days ago. She realizes that you have friends that are girls and that it is crazy to react the way that she does, but reassure her that you want her, not those other girls.

4. There is a reason she is scared of being in a relationship.

She has been hurt before or maybe things didn’t end well with the last one. Either way, she is held back and reserved. Even in the little things she is careful about what she says. She chooses her words a little too carefully because she doesn’t want you to get upset.

5.Do not say something you do not mean.

I’m not just talking about the “L” word but other things also. If you say, “I can’t wait to see you,” mean what you say! Your word is everything. And once she finds out she can’t trust what you are saying, it is over dude.

6.Treat her like she is a princess.

I’m not saying to let her walk all over you. But treat her like you would want someone to treat you. Don’t spoil her but be a man and treat her like your mother would expect you to treat your girlfriend.

7. Tell her it’s okay to be afraid.

The girl that is afraid of relationships will rarely say she is. Tell her that it’s okay to be scared of something new but that you can both be scared together.
