How To Be A Good Girlfriend
I used to think being a good girlfriend was easy. I didn’t know what it meant, but I figured it had something to do with making your boyfriend happy. It turns out there are a lot of ways to be a great girlfriend, and you don’t have to be perfect at all of them all the time. Even if you’re not perfect at any of them, there are still ways in which girlfriends can make their boyfriends happy. Here are 23 tips on how to be a good girlfriend:
Be patient
Happy young playful couple in bed.
If you want to be a good girlfriend, you should be patient. Don’t be too demanding or critical of your partner. Be understanding and supportive instead of always having an opinion or an attitude. If they’re late picking up lunch, don’t give them grief about it—just wait patiently until they get there!
Also, try not to be impatient with your boyfriend in situations that require him to think things through clearly (like when he’s trying to fix something around the house). Patience is key!
Try not to take yourself too seriously. ( How To Be A Good Girlfriend )
- Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Everyone loves someone who can laugh at themselves. If you can see the funny side of things, then your partner will be more likely to do so as well. If they’re with someone who’s always uptight and has a stick up their butt, they might not appreciate it as much. Try not to take everything so seriously—it’ll make life easier for both of you!
Think of a good way to compliment someone and do it.
How To Be A Good Girlfriend
- Be specific.
- Be sincere.
- Don’t overdo it with compliments, but don’t be afraid to say them when they are due!
- Don’t be afraid to say anything at all sometimes if you can’t think of anything nice to say (which is totally fine).
- It’s always important to remember that when someone does something for you, whether it’s just picking up your dry cleaning or cooking dinner for you, thank them! If a guy does something nice for me like taking time out of his day to text me and ask how my day is going or stop by our favorite coffee shop so we can hang out and talk about life goals on top of our daily lattes (my personal favorite), I always make sure he knows how much I appreciate him doing these things by thanking him and letting him know how much I enjoy spending time with him. And lastly…
- Address all problems that come up head-on with clear communication instead of avoiding them until they fester into something bigger than they need to be
Don’t be the person who tries to fix everything. How To Be A Good Girlfriend
One of the most important things you can do for your boyfriend is to make him feel secure by not trying to fix everything. Don’t try to be their hero, and don’t try to be their problem solver. You are not the center of the universe or even the center of attention at all times; don’t try to step into that role by trying to solve everything for them.
Say yes to date night, even if you’re tired.
How To Be A Good Girlfriend
Yes, date night is important. It’s a time for you to reconnect with your boyfriend and talk about things that are going on in your relationship. The two of you can laugh, relax and enjoy each other’s company.
Date nights don’t have to be expensive or elaborate—they can be as simple as going out for dinner at the local pizza place (or even making dinner together). Whatever you do on date night doesn’t matter as much as whether or not it happens consistently throughout the week or month when life gets busy.
Have fun with your boyfriends. How To Be A Good Girlfriend
Having a good time with your boyfriend is important. You should try to have fun with him as much as you can, and make sure that he knows that you enjoy being with him. One of the best ways to do this is by trying new things with him.
If he wants to go on a hike, suggest that he takes the lead so that you can follow behind him and admire his backside for the whole walk. If he feels like eating sushi for dinner, tell him how much better it tastes when it’s shared between two people rather than alone in front of a screen or book—especially if one person is wearing just their underwear! You can also suggest bringing along some friends from work who are into hiking and/or sushi-eating too! There’s no reason why they shouldn’t have fun together too!
When possible, try new activities together as well: rollerblading through Central Park (if there’s snow), going zip-lining at an amusement park near home (if there isn’t), and attending concerts featuring up-and-coming bands (if those exist). The possibilities are endless!
It doesn’t matter where these activities take place either because even spending time together while doing things like grocery shopping with kids added into the mix counts toward quality time spent together…and having fun while doing these things will help keep them happy too!”
Laugh at your boyfriend’s jokes. How To Be A Good Girlfriend
Laughing at your boyfriend’s jokes is one of the most important things you can do to show him that you’re a good girlfriend. This will make him feel like he has a sense of humor, and it’ll also help him feel more comfortable around you.
However, don’t laugh too hard at his jokes (or else he’ll think they were funny). And don’t laugh at something that isn’t funny just because he said it was a joke (he knows what’s funny).
Compliment him on his jokes and funny looks.
Compliment him on his jokes and funny looks.
Don’t be too serious: It’s always good to have a partner who can make you laugh because laughing makes the world a better place. If your boyfriend has a great sense of humor and can make you laugh, tell him that! He’ll appreciate it and feel special knowing that he’s able to bring joy into your life.
Don’t be sarcastic: Be sincere when complimenting him on something he did right or said correctly. Don’t say things like “That was dumb” or “You should have known better than to do that.” Instead, try saying something more positive like “You’re so smart” or “I love how much we think alike!” Your relationship will only improve with positive feedback!
If he offers you something to eat or drink, take it!
If your guy offers you something to eat or drink, take it! It’s always nice to be offered something. It’s an act of kindness and caring, which is one of the best parts of being in a relationship.
However, if at any point during this experience—from the moment he asks if you want some food or drinks up until the second after he hands it over—you feel uncomfortable with what he’s offering (maybe because it smells terrible), don’t be afraid to say no! This can happen sometimes when we’re talking with someone else who has different preferences than us; they may offer us something we don’t like but they think we do. This usually isn’t intentional—it’s just that they’re not aware of our tastes yet!
Just remember not too much: If a guy offers me something edible or drinkable that I don’t care for but I don’t have any strong feelings against either way (or maybe even mildly like), then I’ll still accept it because I know how difficult it can be for guys just starting out dating someone new–and these little gestures really help them feel more comfortable with their significant others.”
Don’t lie to your man, especially if he asks you why you’re crying.
Don’t lie to your man, especially if he asks you why you’re crying.
If he asks what’s wrong and you can’t really explain it, then just don’t answer. It’s better for him to think that something is bothering you than for him to know that it was because you were crying from watching those last few episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy” and the whole time someone was calling your name from the other room but all they could hear was “I’m fine!”
Kiss him when he gives you a kiss. How To Be A Good Girlfriend
When your guy kisses you, don’t just let his lips linger on yours for a few seconds and then pull away. Return the favor! If he likes it when you lick his bottom lip, let him know by licking yours too. If he leans in to kiss you and brushes against your cheek with his nose, catch the tip of it between your teeth. There is never a time when returning a kiss is not appropriate—so go ahead and adore him!
Make plans for the future and tell him about them even if he doesn’t get around to asking about them for a while.
Making plans for the future is one of the most important ways we have to show our boyfriends that we care about them. If you make plans for yourself, and if he knows about them, then he can be sure that you’re always thinking of him even when he’s not around.
My advice is to never shy away from telling him about your plans! If he doesn’t get around to asking about them, don’t be afraid of bringing it up yourself: “I’m so excited to go skiing with my friends next weekend!” or “I hope you’ll join me at my friend’s birthday party on Saturday night.” Of course, this doesn’t mean that every conversation has to revolve around these things—but it’s nice when conversations do revolve around things like this so long as neither of you feels like they’re being overwhelmed by it all (there are no rules here).
If there are any tasks involved in making these plans happen—such as buying plane tickets or reserving hotel rooms or organizing transportation—don’t hesitate for a second before asking him if he’d be willing to help out with those things! I know some men have trouble admitting when they’re busy doing other stuff but requests like these won’t take much time at all; so take advantage of any opportunity where a guy might feel awkward saying no because ultimately no matter what happens everyone wins here: You get what want and still look cool while doing it thanks.”
You can be the most amazing girlfriend without paying much attention to these tips, but there are many ways in which great girlfriends make their boyfriends happy, including listening and being funny.
- Listen
- Be Funny
- Be Supportive
- Be Patient
- Be Honest
- Be Kind and Generous
- Help Out Around the House (or wherever they are)
You’re probably already great at most of these things, but if you’re not, start working on it!
Conclusion
Hopefully, these tips will help you be the best girlfriend you can be. Remember that every relationship is different and what works for one person may not work for another. Try to communicate with your man about what he likes and dislikes, and listen to his advice on how you can improve as a girlfriend.
