As you’ve probably already realized, men and women are different. There’s no getting around it. And on top of that, every woman is different in her own right as well. That’s why some of the best relationship advice for men is about how to make sure the unique needs of the woman you’re with are addressed by the way you treat her. If you’re looking for something fulfilling and meaningful, the key is understanding what the woman in your life really wants. Once you understand that, you can create the satisfying relationship you both want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do women really want in a relationship? According to dating coach Laurel House<\/a>, women want to feel \u201csafe, sexy, and seen\u201d by their partners. It takes a nice guy who is willing to pursue a woman and connect with her in a meaningful way to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are four ways to make your partner feel safe with you, sexy to you, and seen by you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get To Know Her, Really Really Know Her
\n<\/strong>Unfortunately, many women have had pretty bad and extremely memorable first date experiences with men who want to skip over all the get-know-you steps and go straight to bed. Women are on high-alert about this. Not only is it just plain wrong to think that every woman wants to sleep with you on the first date, it also tells a woman that a serious relationship isn\u2019t what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What women are really looking for during the first several dates is if she feels an emotional connection with you. Having meaningful conversations show that you\u2019re truly interested in who she is as a person rather than just wanting to get her into bed. Show her right off the bat that you’re genuinely interested in getting to know her by sharing something about yourself. You will signal to her that you’re willing to be open with her, which allows her the opportunity to let her guard down and reciprocate. Find out if you have any shared interests and values and don\u2019t forget to be a gentlemen on your date by treating her with respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn Her Love Language
<\/strong>Dr. Gary Chapman<\/a> wrote a short book with a large amount of insight about making relationships thrive. It outlined the concept of the five languages<\/a> and the importance of learning your partner\u2019s love languages. \u201cMy conclusion after many years of marriage counseling,\u201d Dr. Chapman says, \u201cis that there are five emotional love languages\u2014<\/span>five ways that people speak and understand emotional love.” Those include words of affirmation, quality time<\/a>, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Chapman, once you know your partner\u2019s love language you can then express love to your partner in the way that she is most receptive to it. Sometimes partners have a difficult time feeling loved by one another because the way they express love is different, so understanding what it is can give you the tools you need to ensure she feels loved by you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empathy Is The Way to Her Heart
\n<\/strong>Women have an innate desire to be heard and understood. They want a partner who will listen to them without judgment and who will create an environment where they feel comfortable expressing vulnerability. Some of the best relationship advice for men is learning to master the skill of empathy. There are many ways to be empathetic, which include active listening, suspending any judgment or preconceived notions you may have about a given situation and putting yourself in her shoes, and showing positive body language to let her know that you\u2019re engaged in the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can tell if you\u2019re lacking empathy when you hear responses from your partner like:  \u201cYou\u2019re always trying to fix things,\u201c or \u201cI just want you to listen,\u201d or \u201cYou just don\u2019t understand.\u201d Non-empathic behaviors make her feel like she\u2019s alone, that you don\u2019t understand her, or that she can\u2019t rely on you to help her overcome issues. On the other hand, conveying true empathy makes her feel as if the two of you are in this together. You\u2019re a unit, a team, and you can work through challenges together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Up The Romance
\n<\/strong>The last thing you want to have happen with a woman you want to pursue romantically is to fall into the friend zone. To avoid this, you need to prove that you’re the full package. Not only can she rely on you for emotional intimacy, but for physical intimacy as well. Holding doors, pulling out chairs, leaving her a card that she finds in the morning before leaving for work, telling her she\u2019s beautiful, surprising her with a massage, and planning a date night are all ways to keep that romantic spark flaming. Imagine how turned on she would be if you called her in the middle of a random day and said, \u201cMeet me at 8:00, I\u2019ve planned something for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you understand some of the relationship advice for men that makes your partner feel safe, sexy, and seen, take an honest look at your relationships with women think about what you can do to better meet these needs. This can make all the difference in moving a worthwhile relationship forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
