Relationships are full of little secrets about how guys really think and feel, even if they rarely say it out loud. 1. He would miss you more if you spent more time apart. That’s right ladies, spending time away from your guy can actually strengthen your relationship! Although you’d like to be, you can’t be with him 24/7, so do your relationship a favor and spending a little time away from your man. Trust me, it will make him want you more!

He wants to understand you better, but doesn’t necessarily know how. Lots of guys want to know their girlfriends inside and out, but they just don’t know how to go about it. Make it easier on your guy by letting him in on your emotions, problems, etc., but not TOO much. There is such a thing as bogging your guy down with too much emotion and too many problems.

Sometimes he is trying, even if it does not look perfect from the outside. 3. He wants to look good in your eyes. The guy you’re dating wants you to feel like he’s the only guy on Earth who can make you happy. So, doing things like complimenting him, hugging him and making him feel wanted go a long way for a guy.

When you give him space, open up just enough, and show genuine appreciation, you make it easier for him to love you in his own way. Those small things—listening, smiling, saying thank you—create a safe space where he feels seen and valued, not judged or criticized. The right man will feel inspired to step up, stay close, and keep choosing you every single day.
