Time and time again, we hear some cliché advice that men are simple. Feed them, Fuck them, and leave them alone or some other generic quote, whatever.
First, I am tired of advice that can't get immediate and long lasting results easily.
Second, yes, men are simple to understand through the eyes of other men. But when you try to understand men, it is really difficult? Why?
You are not a man, and your operation manual is 180 degrees different than his. Thus, even after I outline the definitive road map to making men happy, it is still going to be somewhat unclear because since you are a woman, you will never understand what goes on in a man's brain. But I promise we are going to get one huge step closer RIGHT NOW.
THE ROAD MAP
1. Tell a Man Exactly What You Want
If he cares about you and what you are asking is easy, he will do it. After he does it, say thank you and appreciate him for doing it.
Some examples:
1. You are going on a date and you are tired of seeing his ratty flip flops. You say, "Hey, for our date would you please wear those sexy black shoes we just bought, I love them so much more than your sandals."
You get on the date and he is wearing the black shoes. You say, "Wow babe, you look so great in those shoes"
2. You have a live in boyfriend and he always leaves dirty dishes in the sink. You say, "Boyfriend, you would make me the happiest girl in the world if you would wash your dirty dishes within an hour or two of eating"
When he does it, go give him a huge kiss, and say, "You are the best, thank you!" or maybe even slip into something more comfortable and show him how much you appreciate his effort to make you happy. Or, go buy some water guns and have a playful water fight. (Who doesn't want the fun playful girl forever?)
What Did We Learn Today?
Men need to be told in very specific language what you need. When they do what you need, you need to appreciate them for their effort.
Men are 100% not capable of being mind readers.
Yes, it would be nice if occasionally he did stuff on his own. Ladies, stop holding your breathe, it is not going to happen that often. But, if you specifically tell him what you want, he will do it.
Why Must This Happen To Have a Better Relationship?
Men want to make their girlfriend happy. They don't know how to do it. Women want to be happy. If they tell the man what they want, the man will do it.
If the man does what the woman wants, she is happy. If she is happy she is able to appreciate the man. When the man is appreciated, he is happy.
All of a sudden we have two happy people in a very successful and communicative relationship.
Finally, all these principles apply to dating and courting too.
For example:
Man invites you on a third date for Saturday. He didn't specify what you would do but wanted to block off the day to spend together. The man is racking his brain for good 3rd date ideas. You are dying to go the beach because the weather is finally nice and you have been cooped up all winter.
Text him, "I would love to go to the beach Saturday unless you already made other plans for us."
This is great, the man can stop wondering what the perfect date for you is. He will simply pick a beach and pick you up, and because of your awesomeness you both got what you wanted.
Every relationship has a honeymoon period. We have all felt it. It is that great feeling when you finally feel butterflies for someone. Even after the butterflies disappear, if the relationship continues to progress you eventually fall in love. Now, after 3 months, 6 months, or 2 years later or more the chemistry has started to fade and it is time to see what the relationship is made of.
First, here is how I define chemistry fading:
1. Sex/Intimacy has decreased to once per week
2. Routine of activity has set in
3. Dates or seeing each other is just going through the motions
4. You may start to wonder if there is someone better out there
Now, some daters will send their significant other swiftly back into the dating pool to go searching for that "high" that can only be obtained in the honeymoon stage. But for the rest of us that want to stay with the person we are with, there has to be a way to re-gain the chemistry.
I spent countless hours researching this and eventually got fed up with many writers coming up with lists as long as 15 plus to get the romance back. Although I didn't disagree with the advice, this is EZ Dating Coach and everything needs to be easy because if something is hard to do, no one is going to do it. Thus, I have figured out there is only 2 things you need to do to get chemistry back.
1. Compliment Your Partner and Remind Them Why You Fell In Love With Them
This is so valuable. Everyone gets insecure. Everyone needs to be reminded of their great qualities. If you can make your man feel special, loved, and appreciated, he will be in a more loving spot to 1. return the favor and 2. provide you with whatever you need in the relationship to feel special.
2. Break Routine and Do Something New/Fun with Partner
This is a must. Routine is amazing for pro athletes, sleeping, avoiding getting sick, and many other reasons. But if every week you watch Netflix on Friday, order a pizza, and go to bed, eventually your weeks will get stale. Shake things up and do something different.
Plan a weekend away, HAVE FUN TOGETHER, and be curious about how your man has changed since you last got to know him. The exciting part about relationships is that your partner is constantly changing so there will always be new things to learn. Not to mention, your partner is always learning new things every day, perhaps you can get him to teach you what he learns. It could be something very interesting to you, not to mention, men love to show off their knowledge and feel smart in front of their ladies.
