What does it take to KEEP a Woman happy?

What does it take to keep a woman happy during a relationship? And when is the perfect time to ask when the relationship can exceed to the next level?

Ladies & Fellas...let us know how you feel.

 

Not post in the "Women's Issues" forum.

Oh... wait... I just did.

 

Well, I believe that in order to get any relationship started with anyone, first learn to listen, second, learn to understand, third, well learn to compromise.

I think the first one is important because if you listen , you will know what kind of a person he/she is.

And.. if you learn to understand the person, then you will have less misunderstandings and more friendship- no matter what level that is.

then I guess the final lesson will be to compromise, no matter who you find, they will seem perfect to you at first, later you will see problems, if you hang on to the illusion that they are perfect as you have thought, then your actual love will not grow, but if you truly understand them and try to compromise then,- whether that be friendship, intimate boy/girl, or love between you and your aunt, uncle, father, mother, brother or sister, cousin... you will concentrate more on showing love and cherishing that love than trying to demand love and caring from them.

 

Communication is really important

But honestly.... relationships work best when you're what the other person is looking for. That doesn't mean change yourself for the other, it just means being damn lucky enough to find someone like that.

Oh, and no one is happy 100% of the time. Don't expect a woman (or man) to be happy all of the time. Everyone has their ups and downs, and you can inevitably find fault with almost anything if you think hard enough on it (or, I can at least)


The perfect time to ask for the relationship to move forward is the time you want to ask for the relationship to move forward. No such real thing as perfect. And every relationship is different, so the dynamics there can play a huge part in timing of important questions and discussions.

 

I disagree, this will never happen, the only way you will meet someone who is like you is if you let yourself change for the other, luck ofcourse has nothing to do with it, emotions do.

 

Communication and consideration is important. I remember that in a lot of my past relationships my boyfriends were terribly inconsiderate. Basically, they acted great when they were chasing me, trying to get me as their girlfriend, but once they had me they put no effort into the relationship...expecting it to work on it's own.

A girl want's to know you think about her even when she is not around. Little suprises like flowers or candy lets her know that you thought about her during the day. You don't even have to spend money, my husband doodles these silly little pictures of us while he is at work to bring home to me for a laugh.

As far as moving the relationship to another level...I think you'll know when that time is good. Make sure there is a good comfort level between the two of you. For example, if she doesn't want to see you without her makeup on then you probably aren'y there yet.

Just a few things for you to consider, you could talk to a million different women and probably hear a million and a half different things!

 

Jedi - you can't change you you fundamentally are though.

I don't mean looking for someone very specific, like 6'2", black hair blue eyes, makes x much a year/is majoring in x class, likes dogs but hates cats, wants 4 children two of each gender, is a hardcore socialist and only votes for the NDP, etc.... I mean something a lot more general. For example, the kind of guy I'm interested in (at the moment at least) is a strong, fairly independent guy with the capacity to be sensitive and caring, when the situation warrants it, and preferably enough nerd in him for us to have something to talk about.

 

personally, i think you'll just know when you are ready to go to the next level... but if you dont feel comfortable with that, i think a person should ask, if you dont ask, you'll never know... and anyways, i think that if you are in a relationship, you should be comfortable enough with the person to ask that stuff...

 

I think these posts really answered everything splendidly: We're all individuals who want something different and the time is right when it is. If it isn't, then what can you do?

 

I totally agree with you!!!

 

There's really not universal list of what woman want. We all want different things.
