You may think you have your relationship in check and don’t need any type of advice. But there’s always room for improvement. This is for all you men out there who think you know it all. Here are a few simple ways to get and keep our attention.

1. GIVE IT TIME
We don’t like men who just assume if they try to pick us up that they’re going to. It’s not the approach; it’s the follow-up. You are wrong if you genuinely think that because of your approach you’re going to be attractive to women. It’s totally the opposite.

2. CHARM OUR PARENTS
Men are a reflection of our taste and judgment. A woman wants someone who’s going to be great when she introduces you to her friends and family. Be polite and thoughtful but not too affectionate. They don’t need to picture the two of you getting freaky when you leave their house. Not a good thing.

3. PASS THE TEST
Setbacks happen. We’re watching your response. Are you the kind of person to sit down, look us in the eye, and say ‘Okay, let’s work this thing out’? Or do you walk out and slam the door in our face? A woman wants someone who is going to stick around and be there through the messy stuff. No matter how ugly it gets.

4. SURPRISE US
We like it when a man uses his initiative and comes up with a surprise. Tell us to put an evening aside and what to wear. Even if it’s a picnic on the beach with a couple glasses of wine, a fancy dinner somewhere, or staying in to cook a nice meal while watching a movie. It’s the fact that you took the time to actually plan something for the two of us.

5. GIVE US A HUG
Every woman wants a man who knows how women work. We go through stages and certain guys can’t handle our mood swings. There’s another type of man who knows exactly what’s going on and will just give you a hug. That’s all we want sometimes: a hug and for you to say, “It’s going to be okay, sweetie.”

6. READ OUR MOOD
Often if women want something, we won’t directly ask for it. If we’re feeling needy that day and want a bit of attention or love from our guy, we might not show it outwardly. We want someone who’s going to read that need.
