Charlei - welcome to mylot. You are from USA. Perhaps you are studying in a college or just completed your studies. good. You have posted your ideas numbering them. that is nice. A child, a boy, a girl, a man, a woman, an old man, an old woman --all of us need love, affection, attention. If we empathise with the other we can satisfy their need and help them. "Be totally open to him, share your secrets with, it makes him feel trusted. " --this point is difficult to adopt. You must move with the person for a few days, understand and then open up. good day.

hi ravi all good points but no no to jerky friends, that one I never did .also in loving and giving affection and attention I refused to be walked on in the process. this fellow kept pushing until I realized I was being controlled and was u nhappy and felt abused til one time he pushed me hard and I fell.then it hit me,he did not love me, he liked controlling me , owning me. I handed back the engagement ring and told him to leave, when he threatened to hurt me I called the police. five years later I was 32 and working making a surgical bed when the new orderly came to help me. love at first sight.,both of us,we were married six weeks later. We were married for 33 years and supported a nd loved each other through good and bad times. we lost a child, I had surgery he had cancer of the colon and recovered to die ten years later of a bad heart from smoking.that was 1 9 91 and I still miss him, still love him.

Hatley aunty: Happy to know you lived happily with uncle for 33 years. That too in a place like USA where the number of couples living together for this length of time is not a common phenomenon. If I am wrong please correct me. Love at first sight -- I am not able to appreciate it now possibly because I am 62+. No individual can live in isolation. we all need others help. How many people stay in your hostel/apartment aunty? What about cooking? Each one has to cook by herself or there is a common kitchen?

Well some guys prefer a lady who can do the things that man can do. A lady that is powerful in thinking and also an independent one.. I think it all depends on what exactly a man is looking for in a lady. We cannot generalize how to treat a guy in all cases since every man is different from the other. There is no exact formula for such thing.

i have done all that and more. it only works when they want to reciprocate. otherwise it's all one sided and it don't work for long. that's with him picking a fight with me and ruining my birthday.

I agree with you, before giving everything to a guy we need to know that he feels the same way, if it's one sided you will probably get hurt. When a relationship is based on love and respect from bith sides has best chances to work.

So to make a long story short, we always have to take care of them, to give in and up on our own dreams and goals, we have to be satisfied with the fact they don't care about us, we will be dumped one day for someone else. A guy is not special and you should treat him exactly the way he treats you. There is no reason to defend someone who fools around and cheats on you. Each person is responsible for his own deeds. What you describe has nothing to do with how to treat a guy but how to keep a guy against all rules, how to humilate yourself and give up on yourself. Men are generally speaking not showing love and care and attention at all. They are way more selfish as women are, even find it their right to be that way and to cheat.

dude! are you a man hater? I wouldn't be surprised if you are, I used to be a woman hater and thinks that every single woman the same so I should not take them seriously, well I was wrong when I met this girl who showed me love that is true and she stays beside me beside of my flaws, I don't have a feeling for her but because of what she did I find it hard to let her go, I know must love her the way she love me, main point is, do not think that all men are the same

I'd agree...with the caveat that I think anyone, of any gender, should give these things to someone they love and care about. Except #11. I'm sorry, but your jerky friends are your own problem, and they don't have to come into my house. ;)

Shanonymous: I check up the point No.11. 'jerky' --meat that has been cut into long thin strips and dried in the sun. Yes meat eaters may like it. I take it this way--that the friend though he is dry and is not enthusiastic one has to encourage. visiting the house of another --that is normally done only by close friends or others who have to come for getting things done. I have seen that relationships among people of same gender is less complicated than the relationships of people of different gender. I am telling based on my experience. may be in USA things may be different and that too in the present days.

You're right, I agree that male friendships are less complicated and I don't mind him having friends that I...don't care for. But I don't think I should be forced to spend time with them. I didn't choose them.

I agree with this list. Being a guy, I'd really like this from my girl. Of course I don't have a girl at the moment, but I do like this list. Respect from both sides is important.

Definitely respect is a really big part when it comes to a relationship. No matter how the situation rises between the both of you or with anyone around you, it will surely be applied.

I agree entirley. Communication is also a key factor in having a good relationship.

I think the things you have written are okay but you have to be real in your motives. your man has to also be genuine and do the same for you. Otherwise you are just pretending and hoping your behaviors will allow you to keep your man.

yes that's right, I have to agree with that, because a relationship involves two people, and if one would rather not compromise with the effort being given by the other person, it will surely affect the emotions felt by the other person. Ending up with a serious tension between the two and definitely it wouldn't be a way for keeping a relationship alive.

I don't agree that much at number 15 because sometimes I need to be alone. If a girl put too much attention on me that means I need to do the same. I'm kind a busy person and there are a lot of things that I wanna do on my own, If she always feel to get my attention always then that means trouble. I don't need a possessive and obsessive girlfriend, a fun, loving and understanding girlfriend will do..

As long as it's reciprocal, then hell yeah to your list! Don't know about the jerky friends though. My husband has one and I really don't get on with him but then my husband understands. Sometimes it's about meeting each other half way. I'm a firm believer that it should be Valentines Day everyday and that you should always do what makes you both happy :)

Eucalyptus - welcome to mylot. this has been the case on occasions -- a wife doesn't like her husband's friends-- rather dislikes them. For married people what you said is right --keep themselves happy always. But not for just friends.

If you do exactly what you say,that means that you love your boyfriend very very deeply and other boys will envy of your boyfriend because of you.

yes I actually do those, but of course at times, when you have some misunderstanding that can't be easily solved, the list that I have posted wouldn't be so helpful. Because it will take both people in the relationship to compromise.
