In the 20th Century:
If you don’t understand him, ask an expert on men.
In the 21st Century:
If you don’t understand him, ask him.
It’s one of the craziest things we do…
We don’t understand something our guy is doing.
So, naturally, we go to our GIRLFRIENDS for help.
Why???
You don’t need to “consult an expert” to find out what your guy’s behavior means.
You can find out what his behavior means in an instant…
By asking him!
Why don’t we ask him directly? Maybe…
- We’re too embarrassed.
- We don’t know what to say.
- We don’t think he’ll give us the real answer.
- We don’t think he even knows why he does what he does.
- We’re used to dating – when you’re dating, a lot goes unsaid.
- We don’t actually want to know his answer.
One of the reasons relationships tend to improve as you get older is because you’re no longer embarrassed by honesty.
You don’t mind asking stupid questions. You can admit when you’re unsure or need reassurance. You’d rather take a risk than play guessing games.
If you always go to your girlfriends first when you have a relationship concern, ask yourself why.
You don’t need a middleman. Your relationship is between the two of you and no one else.
Questions to consider:
- If you feel that you can’t go to him, because you’re worried he’ll blow up or take it the wrong way, what do you think that might say about your relationship?
- How would you feel if he went to his guy friends for advice on how to handle you? Would you prefer he come to you directly?
