2. The compliment conundrum
Here’s a real-life anecdote: back in my late teens, I told a girl she was really cute. Her response? “Why does everyone say I’m cute, but nobody says I’m beautiful?” I just groaned inwardly. This utter lack of self-assurance is a major turn-off for men. What’s worse, it makes us feel like our compliments are worthless. Let’s be real: there will always be someone out there who’s hotter, wealthier, thinner, and more outgoing. But if a guy is with you, it’s because you’re exactly what he desires.
3. The clingy text spree
He adores spending time with you. Heck, he might even be sharing a home with you. But that doesn’t mean you have to be joined at the hip 24/7. There are moments when guys need their personal space and want to unwind with old pals or colleagues. And the same goes for you. A few hours apart in the evening or on a Saturday afternoon doesn’t spell doom for your relationship. He’s enjoying beers with his friends, but you’re still firmly in his heart. So, please don’t bombard him with texts all night and refrain from calling. It’ll make his friends think you’re needy and insecure, which reflects poorly on both of you. So relax, binge-watch your favorite shows, and know he’ll come home happy to see you.
