10 Dirty Lines To Say To Your Crush

The talking stage in any budding relationship is probably the best opportunity to slowly build the sexual tension between you and your crush. If you're looking to spice up your sexy talk, using this list of dirty questions to ask your crush is a great way to amp up your sex life.

11. I dreamt about you last night, and it was fantastic, but I woke up, and you weren't here.

Dirty talking always starts with a seemingly casual tease. If you're a woman reading this, let me tell you right now that dirty messages such as this will certainly turn a guy on! Keep him on his toes. Your man will love it!

12. Let me make you feel what you've never been before.

Undeniable confidence, even when you're actually faking it, is also a good way to turn on any woman. Confidence is sexy, and with this kind of proposition, you're well on your way to having the best sexual encounter of your life.

13. You're always on my mind, and I can't wait to get you out of it and into my arms.

This kind of dirty talk is the kind of sexy talk that is both naughty and nice. Naughty because it works great for building sexual tension, and nice because a guy who can't wait to have you in his arms is never not sweet.

14. Can you come over? I need your help with something.

This may sound tricky in real life, so I suggest using this line after establishing a solid connection and trust with your crush.

15. You're mine, every single sexy part of you.

If your girl finds it a sexy thing, domination is also a good way to turn a woman on. Maybe you can follow up with this line from sex expert Sean Jameson- “I just thought of a new sex position that I desperately really want to try with you.”

16. I crave your body. It's my drug.

Nothing turns a woman on more than a man who loves her body and can't get enough of her. This could be a perfect dirty text for foreplay.

17. You can ask me whatever you want me to do to you.

One of the things that holds us back from being intimate with our significant other is not knowing if they'd be open to trying a sex position with us. Be it role play, oral sex, or phone sex, don't be afraid to ask for it.

18. What are your fantasies? I want to make every single one of them come true.

A guy committed to turning your sexual fantasies into real life is such a turn on for many women. I mean, not every guy is generous in that department.

19. The feeling of you is the only thing I can think about for days.

It is always hard to forget an A++ sexual activity. If you and your partner are already looking forward to the next one, dirty talking your way to it is great foreplay.

20. I'm going to give you a full body massage, and I'll save all the best spots for last.

I'm sure we all know what we're all thinking about at this moment. If you think about it, that is actually an awesome role play idea.

10 Sexy Things to Say

Just dreaming about the best sex talk you'll ever have in your life will not get you anywhere. This list of sexy things to say and dirty messages to a woman works best for phone sex.

21. Just the thought of you drives me crazy.

We've all been in some sort of haze when we're in love, and a woman hearing this will certainly appreciate it.

22, Whatever you want me to do to you, I'll do it.

Or, in the words of Katniss Everdeen, "I volunteer as tribute."

23. I'm imagining you doing things to me right now.

If you want to have the best sexual encounter of your life, you got to tease your girl like you've never had before.

24. The feeling of you is so addictive.

You know, falling in love and doing any kind of sexual activity is a lot like getting addicted to drugs. And that's according to scientists.

25. I can't ever control myself when you're near me.

This is giving Edward Cullen vibes for real! As long as you're not trying to leave her dry, be my guest, am I right?

26. I love it when you take control.

Like I said, men love confident women, especially those that know exactly what they want. So if you're a woman reading this, take notes.

27. I love the way you make me feel.

Sweet, isn't it? A sexy talk that doubles as a romantic gesture. That sounds to me like hitting two birds with one stone.

28. Tonight, I am yours. Tell me what you want.

Sexual pleasure intensifies when you know your partner is committed to giving you undivided attention. Just be sure to follow through with your moves.

29. You are every man's living, breathing fantasy.

When I said this is an ultimate guide, I wasn't kidding. Men, take notes. This is how to make a girl swoon.

30. I've been thinking about you all day.

When you're done talking dirty, how about saying something sweet like this to balance everything?

10 Freaky Things to Say

Some guys are next level freaky. As long as you're not hurting anyone and doing everything with consent, I say, you do you. This list of freaky things to say is perfect if you have an equally freaky partner to please.

31. I can't stop thinking about how good you feel.

Sex just doesn't feel the same if you're not doing it with someone you really love, and if this line does not resonate with you, then maybe it's time to ask if you're with the right one.

32. I need your body more than I need to breathe right now.

I highly doubt that, but for pleasure's sake, I'll allow it.

33. Work is stressing me out. Send me a little pick-me-up.

A little bossy, but if you're girl loves it when you boss her around, especially during sex or foreplay, this is a great way to turn her on.

34. Pleasuring you tonight will be my honor.

If this doesn't excite your girl to do very bad things to you, I don't know what will.

35. As soon as we get home, I'm going to do unmentionable things to you.

This is one of those dirty messages that are freaky enough to send you to another dimension. Use this, and you'll have the best sexual intercourse of your life.

36. It's unfair how fucking sexy you look right now.

If you're trying to earn a lot of boyfriend points so you can get your girl, all hyped up for a sexy time. This is exactly how you do it!

37. The sounds you make, make me so weak.

Sound is the most obvious telltale sign that you're girl is having a good time in bed. Here's another thing: women love doing it for their men.

38. I never knew that I could want someone this badly.

Well, when you have a real snack right in front of you, it's kind of hard to keep your hands to yourself.

39. I could get drunk off your scent.

Some guys get turned on by smells. Why do you think women keep a stash of perfumes on their vanity mirrors?

40. Do you know how beautiful you look?

Another sweet compliment that could also pass as dirty talk. Women love a productive man.

10 Freaky Lines To Say to Your Girlfriend

If that's not enough freaky stuff for you, here are some more dirty words to help keep you and your partner warm at night. If you know what I mean.

41. I wish we were at home so that I could do things to you.

Home is where the heart is. Home is also where you can be your most freakish self. Get a room already!

42. Eye contact with you is the best kind of foreplay.

The eyes are windows to our soul, and you can certainly see whether or not someone is really in love with you by the way they look at you.

43. I love the way you taste.

Sex is almost always associated with eating. Oral sex, for example, is a favorite for both men and women.

44. When you come home, I will put you in paradise.

If this doesn't want to make her come home to you as fast as she can…well, she's probably just busy.

45. I'm not going to eat too much. I need to leave some room since I have you for dessert.

A real snack of a woman is a meal and a dessert, all wrapped in a very hot package.

46. You smell good enough to eat.

Sex talk like this really turns a woman on. Tell her all about the bad thing you'll do to her in bed, and she'll be lusting over you for days.

47. Tonight, I want you to be in charge.

Now that's a man with secure masculinity. Real men aren't afraid to leave a woman in charge. Real men see women as equals, and that's always sexy.

48. You're the only woman who makes me lose it like this.

If you can't be Christian Grey, you can at least embody him through your dirty-talking prowess.

49. This is the pants police. You must surrender immediately for a zipper inspection.

This one's actually a great way to lighten up the vibe and get you and your SO in the mood.

50. If уоu соuld rеаd mу mіnd right now, you'd be blushing all over.

This is enough dirty talk to make a woman blush.

How to Say Dirty Things to Your Partner?

If you're still new to talking dirty, don't fret. If I could get the hang of it, you can too. Trust me. You'd want to bring a handful of dirty lines when making love. Here are a few important tips to remember!

Tip #1: Know the perfect timing.

Timing is as important as the words you say and how you say them when you're trying to build intimacy in the bedroom, so make sure your woman is in the mood before you make any move.

Tip #2: Know what she likes.

You can't please a woman if you don't know what she likes and what she doesn't. The best way to do that is to simply ask her. Be open and don't judge her preferences. I mean, if it were you, you'd want for her to get on board too.

Tip #3: Take it easy and start slow.

Intimacy takes time and effort to build. Patience is a virtue even in bed. You can start with a playful tease here and there. If you feel she's already coming on to you, that's when you take your moves up a notch!

Tip #4: Start with something tame.

Like I said, you don't want to bombard her with freaky dirty lines straight up. Get her in the mood with a playful tease and continue from there.

Tip #5: Whisper into her ear.

Whispering into a woman's ear works best when trying to turn them on. I don't know why, but they love it.

Tip #6: Tease her.

Passionate lovemaking always starts with playful banter.

Tip #7: Be creative and confident.

By creative, I meant saying all the right things she wants to hear. You can do that by understanding what turns her on.

Tip #8: Say it naturally.

Dirty talks lose their magic when you're voice is shaky. Own it and say it like you mean it.

How to Get a Girl to Like You Again - 7 Steps to Win Back a Keeper https://www.mantelligence.com/how-to-get-a-girl-to-like-you-again/ Thu, 13 Oct 2022 06:00:06 +0000 https://www.mantelligence.com/?p=112925 Couple going to kiss while sitting on sofa - How to Get a Girl to Like You Again

via: Depositphotos / AllaSerebrina

In this article, I'll teach you how to get a girl to like you again.

So you let a keeper go and have no idea how to get her back. Luckily, I've written many articles to help men work out their dating woes, from starting a conversation with their crush, what do girls like and reasons why a girl is ignoring them.

Let's begin.

Contents

5 Reasons Why Women Turn Away and Lose Interest

There could be a lot of reasons girls think you're unattractive, and it goes beyond face value. Here's the truth, women are complicated creatures. Even when a woman tells you it doesn't take much to make her happy, she is still high maintenance. Not that it's a bad thing. Having a girlfriend just requires abundant care and attention. It's not enough to be a nice guy. A high value man would understand that going into a romantic relationship takes more than attraction. A big chunk of it is built on commitment, passion, and a bit of mind-reading (if you know what I mean).

Before you even ask a girl out and get in a relationship, you might want to get yourself familiar with all the things that tick any woman off.

1. You Are Not Your Word

Gone are the days were men actually live by their words. In medieval times, men believed that "a promise made is a promise kept" and that breaking their word meant tainting their name and honor. These days, some guys treat their promises like a tweet they could just delete once they change their minds.

One important thing you need to remember about women is that they have great memories. Everything you say to them will be remembered, monitored, and used against you when they have to. Saying something and not acting on it is one fewer brownie point. Breaking a promise is an offense. When you think about your commitments, remember that every time you keep your word, it shows her that you got her back and she can trust you. Each time you say you will get it done, do it or face her losing respect for you and leaving you for someone who can actually walk the talk.

2. You Are Not on the Same Page

Timing is important for a romantic relationship to work, but as Ted Mosby said, "timing is a bitch." A healthy relationship requires two individuals with the same values and who can agree to disagree on most things. In fact, according to anthropologist Helen Fisher, who has done a lot of extensive research about human love, a relationship is more likely to survive if a guy and a girl in love have fewer bridges to cross. This means that if your core values are not aligned, keeping your relationship will be a bit of a struggle. If this is the case in your relationship, your girlfriend will be in a constant state of doubt.

It's even harder when one of you is not willing to compromise. My dad used to say, "True love prefers compromise over conflict." It's probably one of the best pieces of dating advice I got from him, and it's true. I've realized over time that a healthy relationship is one where you and your partner can willingly meet halfway, because you both understand that it's necessary to allow your relationship to grow. And if you can't, it just won't work.

3. You've Become Complacent

Familiarity breeds complacency, which can sometimes be the case with most couples. In my years as a dating coach, I've had women coming to me to complain about how their boyfriends aren't spending time with them anymore.

Here's another piece of dating advice: stay consistent and don't stop doing nice things for your girlfriend even after she said yes to you. Look. Relationships take a lot of work. All the flirting, surprising her with flowers, and spending time together don't just stop after you get her. If anything, you should be doing more of it. The nice things you do for her don't even have to be grand. You just need to show her she's still important and love her just the same as when you first met her.

If you love her and think she's a keeper, being complacent in your relationship is the last thing you'd want to do because that's a surefire way to make her lose feelings for you.

4. You Were Jealous

If there's no trust, there's no love. Mutual trust has always been one of the defining traits of healthy, long-lasting love. And if you ask me, it's the most important thing couples should nurture in their relationship. Why? Because it just makes everything easier. Going away for a business trip? "Cool. Have fun. I'll miss you." Catching up with a friend over brunch? "Sure. Say hi to him (or her) for me."

Being able to trust each other completely allows the both of you to live your lives fully, and grow as individuals while maintaining a loving, supportive, and not at all suffocating relationship.

5. You Grew Apart

As I said, a relationship shouldn't hinder you from growing as a person. If you're not growing together, the time will come one of you will realize that living your separate lives is better than staying stuck and stagnant in your relationship.

How to Get a Girl to Like You Again - 7 Steps To Win Her Back

So you've made the mistake of letting a good one go, and now you spend your days locked up in your room sulking while Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" is on repeat. Sigh. Fortunately, second chances exist, and I know just how to get a girl to like you again.

Step #1: Figure out what went wrong

Breakups aren't all that bad. Sometimes being alone helps you get in touch with yourself, spend time with your thoughts, and reflect on your decisions. During this time, you might realize some things you could have done better in your relationship and things about yourself you could work on. Then, you can work on trying to mend the relationship once both of you are ready.

Step #2: Make her miss you.

Time has a way of making us realize who matters and who doesn't. Perhaps some time apart might just be a good idea. If you want your ex to miss you, the most surefire way to do it is to have no contact with her for thirty days. That means you don't get to talk to her, make a phone call, text her, stalk her on social media, and meet up with her.

The psychology behind the "30-day No Contact Rule" is that it forces you and your ex to really work on yourselves, reflect on what transpired in your relationship, and make sense of old feelings you felt that caused your breakup. It also gives you enough time to decide whether or not your relationship is worth a second shot.

Step #3: Start working on yourself.

As I said, you can turn a bad breakup around by devoting your time to improving yourself and coming out of it as a high value man.

Perhaps your life needed direction, and being in a relationship made you feel like you weren't good enough for anyone. Maybe you were insecure and made the terrible mistake of cheating on your ex. Whatever caused your breakup, know that it always takes two to make or break a relationship and that working on yourself is always a good idea.

Now I know I've included this as one of the steps to get your ex back, but it's also important to remember that working on yourself should first and foremost be for yourself. Think of it as doing yourself a favor.

When you allow yourself to grow, you also open new doors in your life, and these doors can even lead you to better opportunities, far greater than getting back with your ex. Even if you don't end up getting back together, at least you come out of it a better man. So take your time, feel everything, and trust the process.

Step #4: Get out and start meeting other people again.

You don't have to close your door to other people when recovering from a breakup. Maybe for a while, but not forever. I say this because I've been there and done that. We learn best from the experiences of others, and going out and meeting new people might teach you a thing or two about love and life.

As I said, time always has a way of teaching us what we want and don't want out of life. Perhaps being with other people can help cast a new light on old issues you had in your past relationship and help you make peace with them. Maybe meeting someone new can help you see a different side of yourself and a better one, I hope.

Step #5: Impress her from afar.

You don't have to try so hard for this one. When you are committed to becoming a better man for yourself, people will notice. Do you know that old nugget of wisdom that says, "You attract the company you keep"? Well, there is truth in that.

Your life can't rise any higher than the standards you set or the company you keep, and the healthier you are inside and out, the better you get at choosing the people that gets to stay in your life. The moment you start to radiate positivity, people will notice, and in no time, your ex will too.

Step #6: Give her space.

As I said, spending some time apart and giving each other space is important not just to recover from your breakup but also to buy you enough time to collect yourselves. It's natural to miss someone, but all breakups hurt, and wounds don't heal overnight.

Remember, you can't heal in the same environment that made you sick, so even when it's hard for you to be away from your ex, know that it's for the best.

Step #7: Approach her again when the time is right.

There will come a time when you'll feel better, and remembering all your memories together wouldn't feel like a stab in the heart. When that happens, that's how you know you've moved on.

Hopefully, you didn't block each other on social media, so you could at least know how she's doing.

After taking the time to heal and when you feel like she's better, perhaps you could try talking to her again and see where you now stand in each other's lives.

When is the Right Time To Stop Pursuing Your Feelings For Her?

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but sometimes, things just don't work out the way we want them to. It sucks, but when the time comes for you to move on, you move on. No matter how much you love her or how hard you want to try again with her, when a woman is already showing signs she doesn't like you, you just got to take her up for it.

But hey, it could be a good thing, you know. You'll get a second chance at love. It's just the next time it will be with a new person.

1. She Can’t Trust You Anymore

Men will make a lot of stupid mistakes in their lives, and sometimes the mistake is just so bad that it's irreparable. A woman might give you a second chance, but getting her to trust you again may prove difficult, and you can't really blame her for it, can you?

When you've done everything you can to redeem yourself, but she just can't get past what you did, I'm sorry, but no matter how hard you try, it will never be the same again. Again, there's no love when there's no trust, and if that's the case, you two will be better off.

2. You’ve Become Two Different People

A lot can happen in your time apart. She'll meet new people and you will too. She'll learn something new about herself, and you would too. Perhaps she'll realize that she wants something different out of her life, and maybe you will too. That's not so bad. Life just happens sometimes. You moved on, and she did too.

3. She’s With Someone New

Obviously, you can't be with her anymore when she's already seeing someone new. Don't waste your time trying to make her want you again. Do you know that line from Bonnie Raitt's song that says, "I can't make you love me if you don't. You can't make your heart feel something it won't"?

That's pretty much it.

5 Best Quotes about Second Chances in Love

I can only assume that you're reading this blog because you're going through a breakup. The fact that you've made it to this part tells me that you're looking for a ray of hope. Well, then, here you go. Hopefully, these lift your spirits.

"A second chance doesn't mean you're in the clear. In many ways, it is the more difficult thing because a second chance means that you have to try harder. You must rise to the challenge without the blind optimism of ignorance." - Ling Ma

Ling Ma sure knew what she was talking about. Getting a second chance does not let you off the hook. But now that you know better, do better.

"While wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life." - Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding (Novel Learning Series Book 2)

The mistakes we make have a way of teaching us important life lessons. Sure, getting over a breakup is tough, and yes, it might take a while before you can move on, but the time you spend moving on and learning from your mistake will make you wiser.

"A man deserves a second chance, but keep an eye on him." - John Wayne

I mean, John Wayne has a point. If somebody gave you a second chance, you better not mess it up again.

"Familiar like a forgotten song from long ago that takes you back to a moment the second you hear it. And you recognize who you were. Then. And now. And you have to figure out how to reconcile the two."- Katy Regnery, Playing for Love at Deep Haven

People change, and change can be a good thing if it has made you better. If your past has made you a better person today, the next best thing you could do is stop dwelling on it and focus on building a new and better life.

"That's the thing about life. You don't always get a second chance, and there are no guarantees. Love is the only thing that really matters." - Linda Becker

It's true. You don't always get a second chance. This is why you should at least try to get it right the first time. And not just in love. When fate opens a door for you, consider it a big deal and give it all you've got.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some more frequently asked questions to help with your dating woes.

Do a lot of girls believe in second chances in relationships?

Not everyone believes in second chances. To be honest, not everyone deserves a second chance. Ultimately, it all depends on how they look at it.

Is it really possible to make a girl like you again after rejecting you?

Of course. It's possible for a woman to see you in a new light and give you another chance. But as I said, you should also be smart enough to know whether or not pursuing a girl is still worth the shot.

Can you become friends with a woman even though she rejected you?

Not really. Sometimes it's more about her having a certain type. Being rejected does not mean something is wrong with you. It just means they're not ready for you yet.

Does rejection always mean there is something wrong with you?

It is possible. We can't be everyone's cup of tea, but that's okay. At least she's honest about it. I mean, would you rather have it if she leads you on? I, too, have been led on. Trust me. You wouldn't want to choose that option. When a woman rejects you, the best way to deal with it is to thank her for her time, move on with your life, and hope she doesn't reject you as a friend.

When to Use Life Quotes and Sayings in Latin?

Life quotes in Latin can be used as a mantra for your everyday life. Each phrase may be translated into different words in the English language, but the wisdom behind them is the same. You can use it to give a piece of friendly advice when life seems to be in disarray or even to guide you to a more purposeful path. Whatever it is, Latin life quotes contain their lessons for each of us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latin may be considered a dead language, but with it as an origin for the many English words you use every day, it is good to know more about it.

Why study Latin?

For those who are into classical literature, Latin is a good second language to start getting into. If you are not into such but are planning to or currently studying law, medicine, or nursing, which uses a lot of Latin terms, the language comes in handy. The same goes when you are into Roman history, romance languages, sacred music, or just because it is practical.

Why learning quotes and phrases in Latin is good for you?

Learning Latin is good for developing your vocabulary since about two-thirds of the English language is derived from the language or makes use of a Latin root. If you want some mental challenge, learning Latin and its English equivalent is also a way to go. The language is complex, and understanding it is like doing a jigsaw puzzle that exercises your intellectual skills.

How do I pronounce these Latin phrases correctly about life?

In Latin, each consonant and vowel in each word is pronounced separately. The first syllable is stressed for the accent if a word contains two syllables. The accent depends on the syllables' length if it includes three or more syllables. If the second last syllable is long, the accent goes on the second last syllable.

Why are Latin terms common in law?

When the Roman empire conquered nations, they were keen on influencing them in their ways of thinking, speaking, and acting, and soon, the language got incorporated into the legal system. Ancient Rome significantly influenced European countries' legal systems, which later reached the western world.

How To Tell Someone You Are Not Interested - Good Ways You'll Stay Free https://www.mantelligence.com/how-to-tell-someone-you-are-not-interested/ Thu, 01 Sep 2022 03:36:45 +0000 https://www.mantelligence.com/?p=108297 How To Tell Someone You Are Not Interested - Two officemates talking outside the building

Want to know how to tell someone you are not interested? This post is for you.

Rejecting someone can be a tough decision to make. Fortunately, as a relationship expert featured in places like HerNorm and Ideapod, I've covered breakups and disinterest. I'll teach you how to say no nicely and how not to be a nice guy who finishes last.

Are you ready? Let's begin.

Contents

How To Tell Someone You Are Not Interested Nicely

Sometimes, it doesn't work out between you and someone else. Maybe the romantic interest isn't there, relationship problems arise, or you aren't a good match. If that's the case, the right thing to do is tell them you aren't interested.

However, there's no easy way to handle rejection. You could seriously harm a person's feelings, even if you are a Mr. Nice Guy. If you want to learn how to tell someone you're not interested nicely, here are some helpful tips on broaching the subject in the gentlest manner possible.

Step #1: Be clear with yourself about the reasons why you are not interested.

Before you voice your disinterest, you should make it clear to yourself the reason why you're not interested. The last thing you want to do is cause someone emotional pain by giving them a half-baked answer. Is it because there's no love or romantic feelings between you two?

Was it formerly a romantic relationship, and now it's become a toxic relationship? If you want it to be clear to them you're not interested, it should be clear to yourself first.

Step #2: Consider what you are going to say and how you are planning to say it.

Once you've sorted out your feelings, it's time for you to figure out what you want to say and how you will say it. Are you burning that bridge completely, or do you want to stay long-time friends with them? Carefully consider what outcome you want... and how you will break the news to them.

If you still want to remain their good friend, try not to use aggressive language that will upset them. If you've done all that, then all that's left to do is begin that conversation with them without breaking eye contact. Good luck.

Step #3: Stop giving them false hope that you enjoy being with them.

If there's no love or romantic feelings left in the relationship, don't give them false hope. Don't lead them on, and don't pretend that you still enjoy spending time with them. It will only invite misunderstandings and create more relationship problems.

If you have no romantic interest in them any longer, tell them immediately that you're not interested.

Step #4: Be ready for the fact that you might hurt them.

Telling someone you're not interested isn't going to be a good time for them. You have to be prepared for the fact that you might hurt a person's feelings. If you're reluctant to tell them straight because of that, you should also know that you'll inflict worse emotional pain on them if you continue dating them when there's no interest left.

Telling them immediately will result in the least painful outcome for you both.

Step #5: Think of the best method to tell them about your disinterest.

Just as important as the words you're going to say is how you say them. You want the message to be clear and concise, with no chance of misunderstanding. Some people are better at articulating through text, so text messages or social media can be a good avenue for telling them the truth.

Others are better at speaking it out, so telling them in person or through a phone call may suit them better. Whatever the case, choose how to get your message across the best.

Step #6: Be straightforward and as honest as you can.

Honesty is the best policy. Trying to dance around the subject will complicate things for both of you. When you're about to tell them you're not interested, you should clearly and plainly state what you feel about them.

However, just because you should be honest doesn't mean you should communicate things unfiltered. If you care about their feelings, try to say your piece in the gentlest way possible, so you don't hurt them too deeply.

Step #7: Be firm with your decision.

If you're going to tell them that you're not interested, be aware there's no going back. If you're about to stop pursuing a romantic relationship with them, you have to be fully decided on what you're about to do. So, make a choice and stick with it - trying to go back after all that will only result in pain. You can only do this once.

When Is The Right Time To Reject Someone

The words you say and how you say them are important, but the timing is also crucial. Rejecting someone outright is usually the last resort, and because of that, it's something that you can meaningfully do only once. So, before you consider rejecting someone, you should consider the factors and timing of your current relationship.

1. When you only see them as an option

If you haven't decided yet on who to pursue, everyone you meet can be a valid option for dating. But if you only see that person as an option and don't harbor romantic feelings for them, it may be time to say that they're not your type. If the only thing you can say about them is, "They're nice... and... um." then perhaps it is time to let them go gently.

2. You are not comfortable around them

If something about them makes you uncomfortable, it can be wise to reject them. After all, you don't want to be in a relationship with someone who gives you the wrong kind of shivers. If that person gives you bad vibes, then it will be good for you to tell them no, you're not interested, for the interest of your own comfort.

3. You are not feeling any connection

If you just aren't feeling anything strongly about them, even if you've possibly known them for a while... Then maybe you should remain just friends. Love is a chemical reaction, and if they don't get your chemicals flowing, then maybe it just isn't going to work out.

4. You don't feel like spending time with them

If you spent time with them and didn't like it, then there's little chance that you will want to spend any additional time with them. If being with them is dull or doesn't excite you or make you feel glad, then there's no need to force yourself to continue. Just tell them plainly that it isn't fun to hang out with them.

5. You like someone else

If you already like someone else, but there's someone else vying for your affections, then it's best to tell the third wheel that you're interested in someone else entirely. If you're fully set on someone else, make sure to say it to them early so they aren't hurt badly by being too invested.

Why Is Rejecting Somebody Hard

Rejection isn't easy, not for the one who's rejecting or the one being rejected. It can be seriously damaging to the mental health of the people involved. That's why rejection is often the last resort for a person to take. Do you know why? I'll tell you why.

Reason #1: It takes a lot of courage to do it.

Rejection can change your relationship's dynamic or even sever it entirely. It's not something you can do lightly, and you can only do it once. Because of that, it takes a lot of courage to reject someone.

Reason #2: It can push them away.

Even with the best intentions in mind and you're most carefully considered words, the other person can sometimes take it badly. In the worst-case scenario, they might end their relationship with you entirely. Because of that, there's no simple and clean way to reject someone.

Reason #3: They might hate you for it.

Even if they end up leaving you, it's still a more positive outcome than the alternative - they may end up hating you for rejecting them. Rejection is taking their feelings and saying no to them: they may feel like they were scorned. You must be prepared for this outcome when rejecting someone, even if you don't want it to happen.

Reason #4: It can hurt you, too.

In the ideal situation, you don't particularly harbor feelings towards the person you reject. Sometimes, you have to reject someone you care for a good reason - even still, that doesn't mean it is painless for you. If there were some lingering attachments to the other person that just couldn't work out, it also hurts to reject them, even if you have a good reason to.

8 Right Things To Say

If you're truly dead set on saying you're not interested in them, you'll need to be armed with the right things to say. Knowing what to say to a girl can also help prepare you for the act. So, before you talk to them and tell them the truth, consider practicing some of the right things you should say.

"You're a wonderful person, but I can't act like we're compatible when we're not."

Softening the blow by saying they're a great person can make them more receptive to what you're trying to say. By saying this, you're saying the blame doesn't lie with them, and it just couldn't work out due to chance or something else.

"I don't think we're on the same page, and I don't want to waste any more of your time. You deserve to meet someone special who is a perfect match for you."

Wishing them good luck in their own love life is a way of communicating that there are no hard feelings between you two. If you two just aren't on the right page, then there's no need for it to blow out of proportion. It can just be a simple disagreement that results in no pain for you.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not ready for anything serious at this time."

When you say this, you should be completely honest about it. If you're just not prepared for anything serious, then communicating that to the other person will hopefully help them understand. Saying it like this makes it less like a full-on rejection and more like postponing it until you're ready to commit. Only say this if you still want to pursue a romantic relationship in the future, rather than say you're disinterested entirely.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you, but I think it's best for us to stop seeing each other because I don't want to lead you on. I hope you find your special someone."

Blaming yourself makes you seem humbler and more melancholy about the whole deal, which can trigger some pity from the person you're rejecting. It's far better than blaming them, which can seriously hurt them.

"I appreciate your attention - I really do. But I feel like I am not really the right person for you."

Saying you aren't a good match for them makes it, so neither of you is at fault. It was just happenstance that things couldn't work out. That way, you can move on without blaming the other, even if there are lingering attachments between you two.

"Thanks for giving me some of your time, but I want to live my own life right now, and I do not want to have a relationship just yet."

It's completely understandable for people to value their own personal time - something that, hopefully, the other person understands. If you say this, hopefully, the other person will wish you good luck with what you're trying to do.

"To be honest with you, it has been fun hanging out as friends. However, I really don't feel a romantic connection between us, and I'd really appreciate it if we can still keep our friendship."

If you still want to stay good friends with them, you should tell them directly. While no one likes being friend-zoned, no one wants to lose a friendship. Communicating that you'd still like to keep in touch softens the blow and can still result in you becoming great friends.

"It's hard to say this, but I have to be honest and put myself first and not continue this relationship."

You should be prepared to come clean about why you're doing this in the absolute last resort. No matter why you reject them, if the relationship is not healthy for you, you should state it clearly to them. If they're a good person, they'll understand. If they're not, then it was for the best that you ended the relationship this way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rejecting someone is tricky, and there's no universally easy way to accomplish it. You can only do it once per person, so you have to make the words and sentiment count. If you're still unsure about the best way how to reject someone or about the rejection itself, here are some frequently asked questions I've answered for you.

Does rejecting someone make you a bad person?

Rejection isn't all black-and-white whose fault it depends entirely on the situation and circumstances. Everyone has a different reason for rejecting someone else. Because of that, rejecting someone doesn't automatically make you the bad guy. It just means that you're trying to protect someone's interest - yours or theirs.

Should you always turn down someone's attention immediately to avoid further consequences in the end?

It differs by the situation, but it's generally a good idea to reject someone early on. Consequences can mount the longer a loveless relationship continues... consequences that become inescapable at a certain point. For your sake, it's better to nip the bud early to prevent irreparable damage.

Why are some people incapable of telling someone how they feel, yet they still talk to you every day, knowing you're not interested in friendship?

For some people, coming clean about their true feelings is difficult. There are several possible factors why they can't come clean - maybe they like parts of the relationship but not others, or maybe their conscience is telling them not to hurt the other person. Whatever the case, it's up to them to one day tell the truth, for their own sakes, if anything.

Is there any best way to say no to someone?

There's an ideal way to say no, but there's no "best" way to say no. You can be as kind and selfless as possible when saying no, but it won't always go as well as you'd like it. You have to accept that it will deal some damage, but it's a necessary evil you must commit out of self-interest.

More Interesting Articles To Explore

After reading this article, you are now properly prepared to tell someone you're not interested in them. Do you want more relationship advice? If so, some related articles will teach you more about relationships.

  1. Do you know the signs a girl doesn't like you or signs she's not into you? Read on to find out.
  2. If she didn't text back, then those signs may just point out the truth.

In Conclusion

Learning to tell someone you are not interested can be difficult. However, if you love (or don't love) someone, the best and right thing to do is to let them go. I hope that you can find better, healthier relationships moving forward by setting yourselves free.

7 Psychological Tricks To Be Irresistible - Find Out How! https://www.mantelligence.com/psychological-tricks-to-be-irresistible/ Tue, 23 Aug 2022 08:26:27 +0000 https://www.mantelligence.com/?p=101322 Happy Couple Embracing Each Other - Psychological Tricks To Be Irresistible

We were up late last night watching Alpha M’s video about how to be irresistible to women, and we thought that we could actually add some more tricks to that.

So, here we are.

YouTube Video
Watch this video on YouTube.

7 Psychological Tricks To Be Irresistible

Since we really want to help you out, we will also tell you the number 1 thing you should avoid doing if you want to become irresistible.

Let’s get started.

7. No Lame Name

One psychological trick to be irresistible to women is to actually say their name as often as you can in your conversation. This is because hearing your own name is music to your ears, so when a girl hears you say her name, it makes it hard for her to resist you.

When you say her name while you talk to her, it makes everything more personal. It makes you more real to her.

Why?

Because there is no way, you have talked to another girl, let alone another person, in the same way. Your conversation is unique to only both of you, and that is something. That’s how to get a girl to like you - make her feel that she’s unique.

However, be careful because since a name makes everything personal, you should never get her name wrong. Pay attention to the spelling and pronunciation of her name.

And, of course, you should never call her by a different name. Doing so would lose you all the points you’ve gained with her, and that’s certainly not how to impress a girl, I’m telling you.

6. Talking Hands

This psychological trick to be irresistible to women is also one of the body language tricks to make her chase you. This is none other than being expressive, as can be when you’re talking.

How do you do that? Well, the easiest way is to actually use your hands to elaborate on what you’re saying. Be animated because that’s how to make a girl like you.

Don’t look like a stiff stick in your seat. Use your hands to talk. When you do this, you are making your conversation lively, showing her that you are interested and invested in what you two are talking about.

When you are moving while talking, it also means that you are engaged and you’re passionate about what you’re saying. And guys, there is nothing more irresistible to women than a man who knows how to be passionate about work, life, or a hobby.

Now, do you wanna know how else you can show her that you are passionate? Well, you can do so by learning more about body language.

5. Smell Well

By now, it is a very obvious fact that how you smell definitely impacts attraction. Indeed, our noses play a very vital role in how attractive and, yes, how irresistible we are.

Well, it turns out that science has something to do with it. In an article published on CNN’s website, an evolutionary psychologist at the University at Albany in New York, Gordon Gallup, said that body odor can influence how attractive you are to someone because it holds clues to your health.

Just as men find women with wide hips attractive because it is associated with childbearing and health, we are drawn to people who smell good because this may mean that they are healthy.

So really, what am I trying to point out here? The psychological trick to be irresistible here is to make sure that you smell good because doing so puts you ahead of the attractiveness race.

4. Leave a Trail

Okay, guys, admit it. We are all in awe when it comes to mystery. And while being an open book is a great thing sometimes, leaving a little mystery is the best way to go, especially when trying to make any girl fall in love with you.

To be irresistible to women, one of the psychological tricks is to leave a trail behind you that will make her want to get to know you more. Don’t tell or show her everything there is to know about you during the early stages of knowing each other.

Now, be sure that you are not overdoing this because you might come off as very reserved and seem distant, which will not help you at all in your quest to be irresistible. But you know what else would help you?

It is actually knowing how to make any girl fall in love with you.

3. Positive Peter

Yet another psychological trick to be irresistible is to try to give off a positive vibe most of the time. Take note that I said most of the time because everyone has their bad days.

However, I'm trying to say here that you shouldn’t be that pessimistic person that she dreads seeing. Be the optimistic influence on her so that you’ll be someone she’s looking forward to talking to and being with... and not someone she avoids.

This is how to be more attractive. When you are this kind of person, she’ll long to be in your company; believe me, that feels good. Plus, we already have plenty of negative things around us that we definitely don’t need another person to add to it, right?

2. Shine The Light

Another one of the psychological tricks that will help you learn how to attract women and ultimately make a girl crazy for you is to make them think that you are not an insecure person and the best way to do this is to shine the light on others… In other words, don’t be afraid to praise other people or give them compliments.

This is because you can only do this when you’re not afraid that other people will look better than you. On the contrary, you are comfortable highlighting the great features of others because you’re so confident about yourself that you don’t mind if others take the spotlight.

That, my friends, is how you make a girl crazy for you.

1. Get Moving

The last and probably the easiest thing you can do to be irresistible is to have a life. Have a life outside of her. Contrary to popular belief, a woman doesn’t want you to make her your world because, if you’re able to do that, that only means that you aren’t doing anything with your life at all, and that is no way to be irresistible.

If anything, this will make her run from you because while she’ll love the attention at first, in the long run, she won’t be able to reciprocate because she’ll be busy with other things in her life. She’ll then get suffocated, and it won’t end well.

Yup, that’s where her mind goes when she sees that you just spend your days and weeks on your couch doing nothing. So, get moving. Do things, get a hobby, at the very least.

Number 1 Thing That’ll Make Her Stay Away From You

Oh wow, time does really fly when you’re having fun, huh? We’re near the end, which means it’s now time for us to tell you the number 1 thing that’ll make her stay away from you.

This is when you lie and play mind games with her. No one wants to be fooled and to be lied to. It’s just the worst thing.

So, if you really want to be irresistible, you can never go wrong with the best policy, honesty. Be truthful, and you’ll be irresistible to women. Now, that’s easy.

Conclusion

How about you guys, do you know of any other psychological tricks to be irresistible? Let us know in the comments below.

Learning about tricks to be irresistible to women was fun, right? Make sure to put them into practice, and just, so you get the full benefits of these tricks, pair them up with body language that will make her chase you.

That’s the perfect combo.

20 questions is a great game to play if you want to start a conversation.

It's all about making the conversation flow freely. From there, you have endless things to talk about.

First way: The traditional way to play 20 questions is to come up with a random word. It can be a person, item, or animal. Anything under the sun. Think of this word. The other person playing with you will try to guess the word by asking up to 20 questions that can be answered by yes, no, and maybe. You will only respond with these three. Your conversation partner will ask until they can figure it out.

Second way: A modern way to play 20 questions is by alternately asking each other a question about yourself. You can ask the other person any question about them that you want to know the answer to. They will answer without further explanation and then will proceed to ask you. This game will go on for 20 turns.

2. What’s your favorite?

There's no better way to know more and scrub the surface of someone's personality than knowing what they love the most. This game will help you scratch the surface of someone you want to know more about.

How to play: It's simple. All you have to do is take turns asking someone about their favorite. You can ask about their favorite color, number, movie, song, and so on! You can also make it more interesting by asking about their top 3 favorites of each category.

3. Two truths, one lie

Two truths, one lie is a great icebreaker game that will surely make everyone wonder. It's a fun conversation game because everyone will guess, and sometimes, what they think is right isn't! It's a great way to learn deeper about your friends.

How to play: To play two truths and one lie, each person involved in the game will say three statements about themselves. Two of these statements must be true, and one should be false. The other people playing will guess which of the three statements is a life. It's up to the group if they want to get explanations about the statements after.

3 Get To Know You Questions To Initiate A Conversation Game With Someone

Conversation games, when done right, will help you initiate a fruitful conversation with anyone. It's also a way to get to know more about the person you're talking to. If your goal is to deepen your knowledge of the other person with you, try out these games.

4. How well do you know me?

How well do you know me? is a game that gives you an idea of how much about you (whether personal or trivial) your friend knows. It's also a way for your friend to learn more about you if they don't already. It's a great way to bond with your friend/s. This is best done with small groups.

How to play: You ask questions about yourself while your friend guesses the answer. Depending on how many answers they get right, that's how much they know you!

5. Hot seat

Hot seat is one of the best conversation games you can play because it will surely be filled with laughter. If you have enough people on board, you can enjoy this game with laughs while knowing more about the people around you. A simple question can turn into something outrageous here.

How to play: The "it" draws three cards, all with different questions. The "it" chooses one card they decide to play. They will then ask the questions to the other players. Each player will come up with their answer to that question. The "it" will then read all of the questions' answers. The other players will try to guess which answer is provided by the "it." Whoever gets the right answer receives the point.

6. Who knows me better?

This game is simple and straight-to-the-point, so it's a favorite among many people in conversation games. It's all about knowing which people know most about you while still giving other people a deeper idea of who you are. A couple of who knows me better questions in and you will discover more about each other.

How to play: All you have to do to play this game is ask a random question about yourself. Whoever can get the right answer wins a point. Whoever has the most points wins and is the one who knows you best.

4 Flirty Questions To Ask Your Crush In A Conversation Game

7. Would you rather

Would you rather is a classic conversation game mainly used to get to know more about your friend. However, it's a great game if you want to start a spark and flirt with your crush. Coming up with would you rather questions can be hard, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find it's so much fun.

How to play: You have to come up with two options and let the second player choose which one they'd rather do.

8. Kill, Marry, and Hookup

Avoid the small talk and go straight for the kill. This game can go a little brutal, but anyone who plays it will enjoy it. It's especially a good game if you're looking to flirt and see if you have a chance with your crush. You may not have a meaningful conversation, but you'll have tons of fun with such a great game. PS: Don't play this with kids.

How to play: You need to come up with three people, either people you mutually know or famous people, and then ask your crush which of the three they would rather kill, marry, and hook up with.

9. Never Have I Ever

Never Have I Ever is the ultimate flirty game. If you're looking to get to know more about your crush while giving off a subtle flirty vibe, this is the game to play. It's all about choosing the right never have I ever questions. And you never know, these things can even turn into a deep conversation.

How to play: Start off by saying, "Never have I ever..." and then say something that you've never done. If your crush or the other people you're playing with have already done what you said, they either lose a life or drink a shot.

10. Most likely to

Coming up with most likely to questions is as easy as 1, 2, 3. This is why it's so fun to play Most Likely To because it's easy to play, and everyone is sure to have a good time. Sure, it might feel like a judgy game, but it's all in good fun, especially if you're using it to flirt with your crush. It's a fun way to flirt!

How to play: The "it" of the game will say a statement about who will most likely do or be something. The rest of the group will then point to whoever they think fits the information..

How to play: You and your texting partner will take turns guessing what the emojis mean. Whoever is "it" will use emojis to say a sentence, movie, song, or whatever you agree on.

12. Trivia

Trivia questions never get old. It's a great game to break the ice and learn more things even while you're only texting. The best thing about playing trivia through text is that you can talk about anything. Whether serious or silly, it will all make sense in trivia.

How to play: You and your textmate will take turns asking each other trivia questions. Whoever answers the most questions wins.

13. Story time

This fun game works best for people who enjoy thinking out of the box and being creative. It's a great way to keep the conversation flowing while getting your mind coming up with new ideas. It can be some of the best conversation starters if you think about it.

How to play: One of you starts off the story by inputting a phrase or sentence, and the other person will continue the story. This will go on until you complete the story or one of you gives up because of how ridiculous the story has already become.

How To Choose The Best Conversation Game

There are many conversation games and conversation starters out there; however, choosing only one conversation starter game can be hard. There are many things that you need to consider that you end up getting overwhelmed. Don't fret. There's a way for you to pick out the best conversation game that will work for you, your friend, or your family member.

1. Agree on something.

Narrow down your options by choosing games you know are appropriate for the audience. For example, don't play Kill, Marry, and Hookup during family game night. Once you've narrowed it like that, make sure that you agree on something. Present them with the options and choose one that everyone knows how to play (or is willing to learn to play). Choose one that you know everyone will enjoy.

2. Be considerate.

Don't go for games that can get too personal if you know you're not too close with the people around you. Be considerate about the topics that people want to avoid. If you're not sure what's sensitive or not, avoid games that can get too personal.

3. Have fun!

The end-all of this list is to make sure to choose a game that will give you and the others the maximum amount of fun. If you know one game will be funnier than the others, go for it!

4 Inspirational Valentines Day Quotes For Your Friend

There's nothing like an inspirational quote! They give us a quick and timely burst of wisdom, and often they put into words emotions we feel and thoughts we have. Inspirational sayings are usually the best words to lift you up.

They're wise words we can relate to, and sharing these with a special friend maybe just the reassurance they've been needing or a timely reminder of exactly what they mean to you.

1. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by doubling our joys and dividing our grief. — Marcus Tullius Cicero

A true friend is always there for you, through the good times and the bad. Sometimes their company goes a long way in making you feel better when you're down. There is just something about the presence of a dear friend we trust wholeheartedly that can soothe our thoughts and negativity.

2. A sweet friendship refreshes the soul. — Proverbs 27:9

Think about all the time you spend with your best friends. You might have even spent many Valentine's Days together laughing over shared memories, watching your favorite romcoms, or even gone out on mini-adventures. The intimacy and fun times we share with a good friend usually leave us feeling refreshed and grateful.

3. A friend is one of the best things you can be and the greatest things you can have. — Sarah Valdez

Never take your true friends for granted! Bombard them with good morning messages and remind them that you're thankful they're part of your life.

4. Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. — Mark Twain

True love is often found in true friendship, not necessarily romantic love, but love in another form. Having your best friend by your side makes life worthwhile.

Why February 14th is Not Only For Lovers But For Friends Too: 4 Reasons

Reading friendship quotes is a beautiful reminder that Valentine's day is not only for lovers but for friends too! They help articulate and express the true meaning of friendship. So, whether it's a day spent playing Valentine's day trivia or doing other fun things to do with friends, the day of love is one to celebrate with your besties.

Reason #1: It's good to celebrate differently from time to time.

Move aside cliches. Forget the box of chocolates, the fluffy teddy bear, and the roses. Love is celebrated differently when you spend it with your best friends rather than a lover.

Reason #2: There's no pressure for romance.

Sometimes you just don't want to celebrate the day of love the way it's generally celebrated. Perhaps you don't want to go on a fancy dinner date, or you just want to avoid romance altogether. Your friends will understand.

Reason #3: Your single friends will appreciate your gesture.

When you see love being celebrated all around, and you happen to be single, it can feel rather lonely. The gesture of spending quality time with those friends that might not have a significant other to spend the day of love with might be the much-needed comfort they're looking for.

Reason #4: It's a reminder that love doesn't need to be celebrated on one special day.

Some might believe that Cupid only flies and shoots his love arrows on Valentine's Day, but really who's to say? Spending the day with people in your life, other than your romantic partner, says love should be celebrated every day!

5 Songs To Dedicate To Your Friends To Show Your Love

Song lyrics, not just quotes, can send a rather sweet happy Valentine's Day message to your special friends. So why not take a step further and dedicate a song that expresses just what their friendship means to you.

Song #1: "Count on Me" - Bruno Mars

This song wonderfully details the importance of friendship and what it means to be a true and caring friend. It sends a positive message that you'll always be there for them.

Song #2: "I’ll be There For You" - Rembrandts

Lyrically a great song. This is such a memorable song because it's the theme song to the popular sitcom Friends.

Song #3: "You've Got A Friend In Me" - Randy Newman

Disney Pixar's Toy Story taught us valuable lessons about friendship, and this song became the theme song for the franchise. Dedicate this song to your friend and let them know they're the Buzz Lightyear to your Woody.

Song 4: "Stand By Me’" - Ben E. King

8. "Love is a friendship that has caught fire.” - Ann Landers

People say that starting a relationship with a friend is like dating someone you know inside and out. That's what makes it a great partnership. It may be a little risky and scary when you fall in love with a friend. But, a bigger risk grants a more significant reward, right? Not everyone can say that they ended up with their best friend, so if you did, kudos to you.

9. "If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever." - Alfred Tennyson

If you say this on the world's official rose day, she'll be smiling for the entire day. Also, if she's into plants and gardening, she's going to love this reference to her interests. Or, you could give her a bouquet of flowers with this written on the card. I promise you she's going to be so happy.

3 Funny Valentine's Quotes That Will Make Her Laugh

We've told you time and time again that a sense of humor will put you over the edge compared to all the other guys who don't have anything else to offer. Your wit and knowledge will make her fall for you faster than flowers or chocolates. This Valentine's day, make sure you're all set with the funniest jokes and quotes that can make her roll on the floor while laughing.

10. "The best way to spend this Valentine's day for me is to spend it with the love of my life – food. So, wishing happy valentines day to you!"

Have you ever had such a rough day that you need a whole box of pizza and a big bottle of soda just for yourself? It may be embarrassing to admit, but I have. Sometimes, our relationship with food is the best one we'll ever have. If your girl loves to eat, I hope you get the nerve to write this on a card and give it to her. She's going to crack up for sure.

11. "You are my valentines, and I am still thinking, why!"

This is a great line for couples who have been together for a long time. It's common to be funny and witty around your partner, especially if you've known each other for long. If you want to make your partner laugh, this is a perfect quote to say.

12. "Valentine's Day: the holiday that reminds you that if you don't have a special someone, you're alone." —Lewis Black

If she's the type of girl who doesn't really enjoy romantic displays of affection, you don't need to ask customer service for a sarcastic greeting card. You just need to write this line on a card and know that she will like it. If she doesn't like flowers or chocolates, give her a sack of potatoes and make her potato wedges. I don't know any girl who wouldn't want to receive this.

Why We Need To Celebrate ALL Types of Love On Valentine's

Valentine's day isn't just for the romantic couples out there who post many selfies together on their dinner dates. People can celebrate different kinds of love on Valentine's day. If you want to spend the day with your family and friends, expressing your love for them, feel free to do so. And if this doesn't convince you, maybe some of these valentines day questions to ask can.

Reason #1: Do you deserve it?

Yes, definitely. Not all people want a romantic relationship. Some people are happy spending their time with friends and family. Valentine's day doesn't mean you have to show your love to your crush or girlfriend. You can also express your appreciation towards your mom, sister, and friends. People deserve to feel loved, regardless of their choices in relationships. If they feel more at home with friends and family than a partner, that's not a reason they shouldn't feel loved on Valentine's day.

Reason #2: Do you appreciate them enough?

Most likely, your friends and family have been with you even before your significant other has stepped into your life. We often forget to spend time with them and make them feel special because we're too busy being affectionate towards our partners. It's about time to express our love to the people who have been there for you since the beginning.

Reason #3: Are they worth it?

Another reason we need to celebrate all kinds of love is that they're worth it. Your friends and family are there for you through the ups and downs in your life. They have seen you grow into the person you are today. They support you and cherish you, even when you're at your lowest point. You need to recognize their worth because they deserve it.

How To Express Your Love Through Valentine's Quotes

Expressing your love for someone can be done in many ways. Giving flowers, planning dates, and singing sweet love songs are common ways to show your love. You can try something new and use these quotes in different ways.

1. Write them on a greeting card.

Because we have all the access to technology and social media, we often forget that greeting cards are great ways to express our feelings. Before there was Facebook, there were greeting cards. Write any of these quotes on a greeting card and give it to her on her special day. It doesn't even have to be Valentine's day. You can use these to greet her with a happy birthday too.

2. Give her a gift and write quotes on the gift card.

Who doesn't like receiving gifts, right? If you pair a good pair of shoes or an exquisite piece of jewelry with a sweet love note, she's going to fall head over heels for you. Not only will she appreciate the material thing, but she will also love that you took the time to write something for her.

3. Write it on her planner.

If your girl is dedicated to her planner, write some of these quotes on the page for Valentine's day. You can also check her planner from time to time. If you see that she has something important to do, write a sweet quote for her that day. It will definitely boost her spirits when she reads something like this.

How To Be Happy Alone - 8 Powerful Ways To Appreciate Life And Yourself https://www.mantelligence.com/how-to-be-happy-alone/ Thu, 27 Jan 2022 10:30:16 +0000 https://www.mantelligence.com/?p=99371 Man delightedly walking through the road - how to be happy alone

Wanting to know how to be happy alone doesn't mean you are feeling lonely. In fact, it could just be that you're looking for how to know yourself better.

I am a health, wellness, and mindfulness guru, and I know the many benefits of having time to yourself.

If you're looking for how to become a better man, put on your alpha male mindsetand I'll teach you how to live your best single life!

Let's do this.

Contents

We Are Social Beings But Knowing How To Be Happy Alone Is Essential

For some people, the moment you get left alone gives you a surprising and incredible sense of freedom. It's now your time. The solo experiences you have give you exciting things to talk about. You can do what you want, and it's an amazing feeling of independence. To others, being alone is dreadful and gives you all sorts of negative reactions, anxiety being one. But solo time is essential for your mental health and wellbeing.

It's a time for self-care, exercise, gratitude, reflection, and growth.

Alone vs. Lonely - What's the Difference?

There are similarities between being alone and feeling lonely, but they are not the same thing. Being lonely has the negative aspect of feeling empty and disconnected even if you're surrounded by friends and family. On the flip side, being alone means you are solitary and absent of companions. You don't necessarily feel sad or want company if you know how to be happy alone.

8 Ways On How To Be Happy Alone

People who know how to be happy by themselves are in charge of their ideas, feelings, and actions. They're better at dealing with life's obstacles, keeping things in perspective, and can recover from setbacks easier. They are confident in themselves and only maintain positive relationships.

1. Step away from social media.

It's a small thing, but sometimes when you're alone, shut down social interaction and give your thumb a break from scrolling through your social media feeds. You spend an astounding amount of everyday life on social media, which can cause negative emotions and impact your self-esteem. Shutting it down will also shut down any competitiveness that you may be feeling.

2. Take a technology break.

Email inboxes or the notifications of your instant messaging apps can cause unwanted stress and anxiety. So, it's time to unplug. To be happy alone, you need to know when to turn the technology off. When you disengage from tech, you can get better sleep, feel more rejuvenated, and you truly enjoy your time to yourself.

3. Take yourself out on a date.

Live a happy single person kind of life and don't wait for a romantic relationship before going out on a date; take yourself out instead. Go to your favorite restaurant, go to a movie, or be a tourist in your own city. Alone. We're not advocating you should be anti-social. We're simply arguing that your happiness shouldn't depend on other people.

4. Get physical and exercise.

Working on your physical health through exercising has many advantages, including improved weight management, lower blood pressure, and a healthier mindset. It helps with the development of stronger bones, muscles, and joints. Exercising alone will give you internal happiness, a sense of accomplishment, and can assist in blocking and distracting you from negative thoughts that lead to depression.

You can also try meditation for a healthy mind, which also helps with stress reduction.

5. Reintroduce yourself to nature.

You may be an introvert, but appreciating nature is a great thing for the body and soul. Make time today to get outside to enjoy the health advantages of the great outdoors. Soak in the sun, go for a bike ride or go for a walk.

Create a healthy relationship with yourself with the help of nature as you focus on positive thoughts. Take up a new pastime outside, like gardening, but many other outdoor activities can be enjoyed on their own. Fresh air and nature can heal you because it gives you a chance to reflect, re-center, and recharge.

6. Recognize and acknowledge what you’re grateful for.

One of the most important things about being a happy person alone is recognizing and acknowledging what you are grateful for. When you're without the company of close friends or loved ones, put some thought into the small things that will make you thankful for what you have.

Show gratitude for the usual stuff like your healthy body, family, and the roof over your head. But learning to recognize a good thing can also be the smallest of things. Like your hot coffee every morning.

7. Find a creative release.

To detach from your work and reconnect with yourself, you need to find a creative release. Find something that excites and draws your attention. It can be traditional or digital art, woodwork, or playing an instrument.

For some lonely people, their creative release is their coping skills because art can pull you into a mindless consumption where you forget the negative things around you. Being happy alone is knowing a good balance between finding new things you enjoy or using these activities as a way to escape the lonely life.

8. Take care of your health.

Good health is vital for a happy existence. Take care of your physical and mental health by exercising, having a balanced diet, and getting enough rest daily. Taking better care of yourself will give you better energy levels that will make you more positive and accomplished. By staying healthy, you limit your need to rely on others.

Perks Of Living A Life Of Solitude

When someone lives a life of solitude, there is usually a mistaken assumption that loneliness is involved; they lack a romantic partner and any true friends. However, this is not true. In fact, there are many perks and positive virtues of disconnecting socially and being alone.

1. Figuring out what you truly want.

You will figure out what you truly want in life because you have time to reflect on yourself and your life when you are alone. Knowing what you truly want will help you achieve it because you'll realize its importance to you, and this will drive you to pursue it.

2. An opportunity to strengthen and deepen the non-romantic relationship you had.

Living a life of solitude teaches you how to regulate your emotions to deal with situations better and not need to rely on others. You can build a stronger relationship with people as your reason for that social connection with them is no longer based on dependency. You'll be more confident and have a more attractive presence around people too.

3. A great room for growth.

When you practice a life of solitude, you become a new person. You discover a lot about yourself and are given an opportunity for a lot of personal growth. You can focus on reaching your full potential and not be held back by other duties, responsibilities, and commitments.

4. More quality time for yourself.

It's not a bad thing to want alone time. In fact, it's not bad to enjoy a life of solitude. It gives you more time to do what you want and to chase your goals and desires without feeling guilty about neglecting other social obligations.

5. No more reason to hold back to any adventures you want to try.

A major perk of living in solitude is not having to wait for that friend to be ready to enjoy an adventure you've been wanting to have. You don't have to go by other people's schedules and availability.

6. Zero commitment means freedom.

Having to compromise is needed in many social situations and commitments. And, as much as you can negotiate and make concessions when it's necessary, you'd rather not when you have the option. Being alone means you have complete control over what you do at any given time. You have the freedom to make all choices in life, including whether to commit to anything.

How To Take Care Of Your Emotional Health

Knowing how to take care of your emotional health is essential to being happy alone.

1. Acknowledge your feelings.

You don't need to talk about your feelings with others if you're uncomfortable, but acknowledging how you feel can help your mental wellbeing. It will be easier to understand your triggers and thoughts by recognizing and acknowledging your emotions, allowing you to cope with them better.

2. Take a break.

You should take some time to relax or change to a slower pace from time to time. You could give yourself a ten-minute sit down from cleaning the house or going outside to enjoy the sun during your break at work. It only takes a few minutes to de-stress sometimes.

3. Do something you enjoy.

Think of the things you love to do. Enjoying your time with these activities can really help boost your emotional health.

4. Stay positive.

Don't focus on negative things and learn how to deal with them in appropriate ways. Stay positive by focusing on good things, forgiving yourself for mistakes, and surrounding yourself with healthy and optimistic people.

If you're looking for sweet things to do for your girlfriend, there's no shortage of touching date ideas and things to do for that special someone in your life.

Knowing how to get a girlfriend can be a challenge. Luckily, I'm quite the expert on thoughtful gestures that make girls insanely happy so trust me, you're in good hands.

Let's go!

Contents

28 Best Sweet Things To Do for Your Girlfriend

If you really want to impress her, it's best to try the sweetest things to do for your girlfriend. With these top picks, you'll stand the highest chance of really impressing her.

1. Drive Her to Work/Class

If you live close to your girlfriend’s house, an amazingly helpful thing to do is to pick her up in the morning and drive her to work/class (or drive her home). Cute ideas like this will make her feel so loved by you.

2. Give Her a Massage (Feet, Arms, Back, Or Whatever Hurts)

I get it: you may not think you’re great at massages, or it may not be exactly what you want to do.

But think about this… every girl carries stress somewhere in her body and you can be the man that helps her relax.

3. Put Her Music On Her iPod/Build Her a Spotify Playlist

If you don’t remember the days that guys made girls mixed tapes (and don’t feel bad if that’s the case), it was one of the most thoughtful and romantic things to do for a girl. And the current version of that gesture is to make her a playlist on iTunes or Spotify... except that nowadays it’s dramatically easier and faster (yet doesn’t lose any of its appeal).

4. Do A Home Repair Project for Her

A lot of women have had to complete home repair projects themselves, and are more than capable of doing it… but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to see you do it for us (it’s incredibly sexy). If you're ever thinking of a nice thing to do for her, try this one out.

5. Carry Her Upstairs After a Night in Heels… Or Give Her a Piggyback Ride

Not only does it make her 1000x more comfortable, but it also shows her that you’re the type of guy who can help her out when she needs it most (plus, it’s just fun for her to be carried). If you do this often, this may actually become her favorite thing about you.

6. Buy Her a Gift from Our List of Female Approved Gift Ideas

A thoughtful gift (especially for no particular reason) is one of the best romantic things to do for your girlfriend. Girls love mementos of you around, and a gift tells her that she’s special enough to be remembered all the time. If it's her special day and you're not ready with a surprise party, greeting her a happy birthday with a great gift will be memorable enough. A teddy bear may be an outdated gift idea, so you should find some new ideas to try.

7. Find Out Her Love Language

The ways you show each other that you love each other might be vastly different. You might like to buy her gifts, but she might really want you to help her with chores/work/homework… because that’s what will make her feel loved.

And while she appreciates your gifts, it’s just not what she really wants from you.

8. Make Her Dinner

This is a classic thing to do for your girlfriend (or wife), but it’s still incredibly romantic. Even if your dinner is simple, the act of being served is one of the most amazing things for a girl.

9. …Or Lunch

Your girlfriend probably hasn’t had anyone pack her lunch since kindergarten, so this is a thoughtful, incredibly sweet surprise you can give her. Include a great love note for her to make her smile.

10. …Or Build Her Something

You can take the appeal of making her food one step further… and actually build her something that will last dramatically longer.

So if you’re good at carpentry, build her something to keep: a night table, bookshelf, or even picture frame will be useful and incredibly cool to receive.

11. Watch A Show Only Together, Even If You Really Want to Watch An Episode

So show the same patience with your girl... choose a show you can both get into, and loyally wait to watch it until you're together. People might not necessarily consider this as a romantic gesture, but it's a great bonding activity for partners. You can even invite her to watch her favorite movie. Let's see if that doesn't put a smile on her face.

12. Buy Her Pajamas

If you don’t feel comfortable buying your girlfriend underwear yet, you can absolutely buy her some comfortable, cute pajamas instead (girls like comfy pj’s, but rarely buy them for themselves... plus, sleepwear is almost as intimate as underwear). You don't need a special occasion to get her a nice gift. Sometimes, getting random stuff for her tops anything.

13. Write Her a Letter

With all the digital media available, it’s incredibly rare to get a handwritten letter (or even a note) from a guy, but I can promise you, handwriting something is an incredibly romantic thing to do.

...And since it is so rare, she probably hasn’t gotten a note in a long time, so being able to physically hold your words in her hands is really special. Plus, writing a cute note can take as little as 30 seconds, yet it brings her joy for days… so guys, why wouldn’t you do this?

14. Make a Travel Bucket List

There’s something amazing about planning the future with someone and it’s comforting knowing that when they picture the future, you’re there with them.

So plan a travel bucket list with your girlfriend, and let her know that when you picture traveling the world, it’s with her. Fill the list with every fun thing you can think of and see her face light up with your plans.

15. Let Her Fix/Cut Your Hair/Beard

Almost every girl has an opinion on your style (whether she likes it or not), so give in on a date night and let her fix you up the way she likes (take it a step further and let her choose her favorite outfit for you, too). This is one of the special things you can let her do for you.

…And even if the way she styles your hair and beard isn’t exactly your favorite, isn’t it worth it for one night to know that she’s insanely attracted to the way you look?

16. Spend A Long Time On the Phone

So just once, have a long conversation (30 mins – an hour) on the phone with her after work. Tell her all about your day, and listen to her too. The conversation really can be that simple… she just likes your voice and attention.

Pro tip: check out these 101 questions to ask a girl for conversation ideas.

17. Write Her a Song

If making a playlist seemed too simple for you… write her a song instead.

Even if it’s a short, silly one, she’ll smile at the fact that you took the time to think about her (and she loves seeing you perform). You never know, this might even end up becoming her favorite song.

18. Surprise Her at Work (With a Gift or Visit)

Deliver flowers, lunch, or make a surprise visit in the middle of the day (just make sure that no one will mind a disturbance!). Write some cute sayings on a sticky note for the flowers to make her smile some more.

Pro tip: With a flower of the month club, you can surprise her with flowers monthly. Here's our favorite club.

19. Bring Breakfast in Bed (And It Doesn't Have to Be Elaborate)

Breakfast in bed usually brings up the image of an omelet or pancake, mimosa, and small vase with a single rose, served on a beautiful serving tray. Who needs to go to their favorite restaurant when you've got a lovely breakfast in bed?

20. Let Her Nap

Sometimes we all could use a good nap, right? So give that restful gift to your girlfriend or wife.

Pull the shades, turn on some soft music, and take the kids (or the dog) out for a couple of hours to let her catch up on some sleep alone. It seems small (and it is easy), but good rest is one of the best gifts you can give to a busy, tired girl.

21. Do Some of Her House Chores

If you want to do a good things for her, take one of her least-favorite house chores for the day. And that's why it's a great romantic thing to do... it's a total surprise (and delight) when she doesn't have to do something she dislikes.

22. Draw Her a Bath

Just like every girl can sometimes use a nap, sometimes they need a relaxing bath, too. It's a time for her to completely relax her body and mind... so why don't you give it to her?

Get some soap, light a romantic candle, and run a hot bath for her (bonus points if you get her a pillow and towel warmer, too). Then leave her alone to enjoy her relaxation, and notice how grateful she is when she comes out.

23. Put A Heating Pad On Her Side of the Bed

Here's an incredibly simple thing you can do for her:

Slip a heating pad under the sheet on her side of the bed. By the time she gets in, the sheet will be nice and warm (and trust me, especially in the winter, this is an unbelievably great surprise). Sometimes, sweet words mean nothing if you don't do anything about it. She will definitely appreciate gestures like this.

24. Give her a foot rub

It's simple but very effective. Don't be shy - get down there and rub her feet. You'll be rewarded with the sweetest moans and sighs. If you volunteer to do this, she'll think it's valentine's day and you're trying to make her your valentine. Gentlemen, this is gold. Do this and thank me later.

25. Hold her hand in public

Who cares who sees? Reach out and grab her hand in public. It's an undeniably sweet move that'll make her feel cared for and protected. We've said it before - words mean nothing if actions are absent. You can write a nice love letter or send her a sweet text, but when you hold her hand in public, it will make her feel loved and recognized.

26. Do her laundry

It might not be a man's "traditional" role to do a woman's laundry, but it definitely shows how much you care. Go the extra mile with fabric softeners. Fold it up for her, too. She'll really appreciate it.

27. Cuddle her

Something as simple as a cuddle can be the sweetest thing ever. This is especially true if you're cuddling her out of the blue in a spontaneous, romantic moment.

28. Cook her favorite dish

There's a reason why girls think it's romantic when guys cook for them. It shows that you're willing to be her caretaker and that you're concerned about her well-being.

If you want to blend your romantic skills with a sweet gesture that'll melt her heart, choose one of these sweet romantic things to do for your girlfriend. These ideas show how passionate you are.

29. Take A Long Lunch with Her

If you both have jobs that allow unscheduled lunch breaks, take a long lunch with her. You can pick her up, or meet her somewhere nearby. You can even show up to her work unannounced when you know she's going to have a slow day. Surprise her!

30. Do That One Thing You Don’t Want To

If you're looking to earn huge brownie points with your girlfriend, here's the best way to earn them. She might have been asking you to watch a particular movie with her, or she may want you to take a pottery class with her. Whatever it is, just go ahead and do it. She'll appreciate your effort to make her happy.

31. Plan A Date for Her and A Friend

Plan an extremely romantic, even girly date for your girlfriend... to go on with a female friend or relative. Why is that so genius?

32. Go to The Gym with Her

Go to the gym with her. Plus, you're really doing yourself a favor too by exercising, so this is a win-win. Just think about it - if you get to the point where your body looks a little better because of the workout, she'll be even more attracted to you.

33. Take Her On an Original Date

One of the most romantic things you can do for your girlfriend is to take her on a creative date... because while she loves your routines, they can get a little boring sometimes.

So check out our list of date ideas (some of them are even free), and combine them using this formula for a perfect date. No matter what you put together, she'll be so happy that you planned something new.

34. Plan A Trip Alone with Her

Almost everyone claims that they need a vacation... almost on a daily basis. Does that sound familiar?

I'm sure it does... so why don't you do one of the best things you can for your girlfriend... plan a vacation for just the two of you?

...And it doesn't have to be expensive... you can even just getaway to a nearby town for a long weekend. Just make sure that your vacation includes lots of relaxing and romantic activities.

35. Have A Fancy Date

Come on guys, you know you look better in a suit than you do in shorts and a t-shirt... so just once, get really dressed up with her for a date. You can even try buying her a fancy dress and shoes and attach a note that says where to meet and what time. I promise you, this will really make her feel special.

36. Have A No-Phone Date

Turn off your phone. That's it. You can actually do this on any date. But it's it can be mentally difficult for guys with an attachment to their phones.

...But the thing is, it's hugely impactful to show your girlfriend that for one night nothing (work, friends, sports, updates) matters as much as she does.

37. Teach Her Something (How to Shoot a Gun, Fix a Flat, Etc.)

Your girl loves to be impressed with your manly knowledge, so show it off.

Teach her how to fix a flat tire, tune a guitar, aim a gun, grill the perfect steak, or anything manly. Plus, it gives you a nice ego boost to know that you can teach something to someone else.

38. Take Her On a Picnic

A simple picnic is one of the best of those classic dates. Pack sandwiches, tacos, or even bring a pizza and a picnic blanket outside to watch the sunset (huge bonus points if you bring champagne). If you really want to take things to the next level, bring a guitar and play her some music. Sing to her! I know it sounds a little cheesy but I swear she will love it.

39. Take Her to Your First Date/Proposal Spot for A Date

Need a powerfully romantic date idea fast?

Easy: take her to the site of your first date, or to where you proposed. Pack a picnic if you need to.

...And guys, this is seriously romantic... because it shows your girlfriend that you remember/value the first time you went out, and/or the moment you asked her to marry you.

40. Let Her Pick Out Some Clothes for You

Take her shopping and let her pick out some items she really likes the way you look in.

This way, you can be 100% sure that she'll be really into the way you look. It's the best way to dress to make her happy. Plus, when you wear what she likes you in, she'll smile every time she sees you.

41. Take Her On an Impromptu Date

Guys... if you surprise her with a date, the date doesn't even have to be creative... the power of the date is in the surprise.

So take her for a walk, then stop for dinner... or pick her up from work and go get ice cream. It really doesn't matter what the surprise is, because the fact that you tried to surprise (and delight) her is incredibly romantic.

42. Invite Her to Do Something You Know She Likes

I've said it several times in this article... remembering your girlfriend's preferences is itself a hugely romantic thing to do. Not every man takes the time to remember little things about his girl, and it makes her feel incredibly special when you remember.

So take her to that cafe she said she likes, or get tickets to the movie that's coming out. No matter what, just get something you know she will love.

43. Paint a picture of your girlfriend

It doesn't matter whether you're a good painter - it's the thought that counts. No matter how it turns out, she'll love it. If you want to take it a step further, you could get some lessons or tutorials on the basics of painting. You'll be able to paint a better picture of her if you do.

44. Change your cell phone's wallpaper to a picture of her

A lot of girls these days actually force their boyfriends to do this, but it's better if you choose to. Pick out her prettiest picture and you'll be reminded of her all day long. It's even better when she sees it at a random time because she'll be caught off guard.

45. Listen to her dreams and help make them come true

Something as simple as listening can be an incredibly sweet and caring move. Listening also helps you learn more about her, and you can use that information to be more romantic in the future. It also lets you connect with her. When you know all this stuff about her and you mention little bits of information when you talk, she will know that you pay attention to her.

46. Fold her laundry

Since this is a chore that most of us don't enjoy, you'll find that doing this for her will really make her happy. Folding laundry might sound boring, but it can be a little more interesting if you know you're doing it for someone you love. It's a very sweet move.

47. Have her family and friends over for a cookout

Doing something sweet for your girlfriend doesn't necessarily mean being with her alone. You can show how much you care by bonding with her friends and family. Once you get her family's approval, it will also set the tone for a happy relationship.

48. Post-Sweet Things About Your girlfriend On Social Media

When done right, public declarations of love will have everyone impressed.

49. Do the dishes after dinner

This is easy! Just say, "don't get up, I got this!" and watch her stress melt away.

50. Surprise her with a weekend getaway.

Book a night away in a quiet or interesting little town and spend time connecting and enjoying being together.

51. Wash and vacuum her car

Fill it up with gas, too! This lets her know you have her back!

52. Give your partner a foot rub after a long day at work.

Have some lotion (peppermint is great for this!) and a towel ready for your next Netflix sesh.

53. Bring home a bottle of her favorite wine

This gives her something she'll enjoy, and let her know you thought of her - 2 gifts in one!

54. Put kisses on her face

Girls love a good, strong kiss, but they also love gentle, cute kisses on the cheek, forehead, and nose. These playful pecks are sure to make her smile.

55. Listen to her

Make a point to ask her about her day and actively listen. You'll become her most trusted confidant, and an even more important part of her life.

56. Bring her lunch to work

Plan ahead to pick up her favorite take-out and meet her for a short lunch date.

57. Suffer through that romantic movie

In fact, recommend one! She'll know you are doing it out of love, and that'll make it even more special.

58. Relive your first date

This is a great one to bust out for an anniversary. Try and mimic as much as you can, but don't be afraid to get creative!

59. Surprise her with a spa day at home

Pick up some luxury bath products, (like Lush!), some sparkling wine and a fluffy robe and set her up to relax the day away. I'll bet you earn bonus points if you do a face mask alongside her.

37 Sweet But Cute Things To Do Together With Your Sweetheart

Above all else, girls love it when their relationship takes a "cute" turn. It reminds them of the innocence and purity of your feelings for her, and cute relationships always end up lasting the longest.

If you choose to do these cute things to do for your girlfriend, it's always a safe move.

60. Dance with Her (Out or at Home)

You can take her ballroom dancing if you’re up for that… but honestly, a slow dance in the kitchen is 1000x more romantic. There doesn’t even have to be any music… just take her hand while she’s making dinner and dance with her for a minute.

61. Comment When You Notice Things She Changes

This is an incredibly, overly simple sweet thing to do for your girlfriend, and you can do it constantly:

Notice when she changes something (hair, makeup, new clothes), and compliment it.

Knowing that their guy notices/like it is a huge ego boost she needs (plus if you get into the habit of noticing changes, you'll never make her mad when you fail to notice something big).

62. Call Her at Work Just To Say She’s Special

If she works somewhere that she can take phone calls, call her work number and tell her you love her. This conversation is going to be short (since she is still working), but it can have a huge impact on her day (unexpectedly hearing from the guy she likes can brighten even a horribly stressful day).

…And since it’s short, easy, and free, why wouldn’t you try this some time?

63. Listen to Her Talk About Her Day

I get it: this seems small, and you may think you do it all the time.

But just once, try really hard to listen your best. She’ll notice a difference if you ask questions, empathize with her, and agree with her about all the events of her day, and it’ll make her feel incredibly special and grateful to be listened to like that.

64. Ask Her Some Questions from Our List

I put together this powerful list of questions to ask a girl because it’s actually a great tool for several reasons:

  • It can help you get to know your girlfriend better
  • It makes you seem caring and attentive when you ask her thoughtful questions
  • It can lead to a fun, interesting conversation that she’ll remember

…And it takes almost no time to just ask her a question… yet she’ll immediately like you more when you show her that attention. Win-win.

65. Take The Time to Compliment Her (if she likes it, you can do it in public)

Girls love compliments. You might feel like you compliment your girlfriend all the time, but if her love language is words, then you might not be complimenting her enough.

So find something about her that you like, and tell her.  Next time you're paying for coffee, look over and tell her she looks really beautiful today.

Even if it’s a small thing, it can make her so happy to hear it (trust me on this one).

66. Touch Her Arm/Shoulder as You Speak to Her

If this is your wife, girlfriend, or even just a girl you like, this is a powerful gesture that shows her that you really like her. But it requires almost no effort (cool, right?). Sometimes, this can also make her feel that what you're saying is genuine and real.

67. Tuck Her Hair Behind Her Ear

Just like I said above, a gentle touch is romantic and sensual. If she’s not your girlfriend yet, this gesture shows her that you like her…

…and if you’re already together (even married), it shows her that you still think of her as the cute girl you did when you met. And guys, all girls want to feel like that!

68. Brag On Her in Front of Others

Hearing you brag tells her that in your eyes, she’s so great that you can’t keep it in anymore. It’s one of the best ways to tell her you love her… even though you don’t have to say a word to her! Also, when you brag about her to other people, it means that you're not only proud of her, but you're also proud to be her boyfriend.

69. Flirt with Her in Public (Show Off for Her, Check Her Out)

No matter how long you’ve been together (even years), women still want you to think they’re attractive. Don’t you want your girlfriend to be attracted to you?

…And one of the best ways to show her is to flirt with her, just like when you started dating. So check her out (and let her catch you), and show off for her. She’ll love being the center of your attention, and feel like she’s a new girlfriend again.

70. Kiss Her Hand

All girls love to feel like a princess every now and then. Plus, you don’t need to make a big deal out of these little gestures, or do them in public… just while you’re watching a movie, or walking home, give the back of her hand a quick kiss.

It’ll mean more than you know.

71.Text Her Out of Nowhere (And Follow Our Texting Rules)

If you’re not in a relationship yet, you might have thought about texting the girl you like (hopefully you have already), but if you’re already in a relationship, do you still text her?

Well, to put it simply, you should. Women like to be texted a little reminder that you love them since in relationships texting becomes much more practical than romantic.

Pro tip: use our 21 tips for how to text a girl to know the right way to text her.

72. Remember Her Favorite Little Things

Every girl has things that make her melt, and they’re different for every girl (a kiss in a certain place, a word or pet name, or even just bringing home a surprise milkshake (my personal favorite)).

…And after being with her for a while, you’ll figure out what things you say, do, or buy make her melt. Remember what they are, and surprise her by saying/doing/buying them.

73. Make A Little List of the Things You Like About Her

Guys… a list of things you like about a girl doesn’t have to be long, cheesy, or intimate. It can be as simple and short as a note on her desk that says “I like your laugh, your eyes, and your generosity.”

See? It's simple… but highly effective in making her feel great. Leave the note somewhere she’ll find it, or even text it to her.

74. Offer to Take A Photo Of Her For Instagram

Almost every girl right now has an Instagram account and wants to post pictures of everything.

…And some girls will come right out and ask you to take that perfect shot of her being perfectly cute... but a lot of girls won’t (they don’t want to look 'dumb' or 'girly'). So if you notice that she looks really good one day, offer to take a picture of her. She’ll be so glad that you knew what she wanted!

75. Give Her a Little Nickname

Pet names (sweetheart, baby, darling, honey) are incredibly cheesy, but that doesn’t mean girls don’t love hearing it (in fact, being cheesy makes them like it more). So in private, call her a sweet pet name that only you two know about.

76. Read Up On Common Turn-Offs and Honestly Tell If You’re Doing Any

Almost all women have a secret set of turn-offs. Read the list and descriptions of all 7... did you know about them? And even more importantly… are you doing any of them?

…And if you are, I can guarantee that your girlfriend wants you to stop, even if she’s too polite to say it. Use our list to get in her head about her turn-offs, and be the guy who never annoys her with them.

77. Call Her to Say Good Morning

Frequent morning phone calls and texts are common when a couple starts dating, so if you’re doing this in that stage, good job! She loves hearing your voice first thing.

…But if you’ve stopped doing this (or you never did), try it. Just tell her you love her and hope she has a great day. It’s so powerful coming from your actual voice, rather than just a text.

78. Brush Her Hair/Help Her Get Dressed

As she's brushing her hair, offer to brush it for a second. It feels incredibly good, both physically and emotionally (because it makes her feel taken care of).

...Or as she's getting dressed, offer to zip up her dress, or help her get into her high heels. It's just a (sexy) gentlemanly gesture that she'll love.

79. Light Candles Around the House... Even If It’s Just to Eat Takeout

Candles have the seemingly magical power to make anything, even fast-food tacos, hugely more romantic.

So bring your food inside (or cook dinner for her if you're up for it), but light a few good-smelling candles on the table. It shows her that you want to romance her, no matter what else you're doing.

80. When You Go to The Store, Pick Up Something for Her

This can be as simple as her favorite magazine... or it can be the new espresso machine she's wanted. Either way (inexpensive or expensive), a completely unexpected gift can really make her day.

It shows that you know her, and what she would like, and you love her enough to just get it.

81. Put Flower Petals On the Bed

Sprinkle a few rose petals on the bed for her (and guys... make sure you actually make the bed first), and make your entire bedroom feel incredibly romantic. Pair that with some candles and gentle music and you've got yourself a great memory coming up.

82. Fill Her Car Up/Wash It

She's already got 1000 other things/chores on her mind... so why don't you show her how helpful you are, and take one off her plate?

Go fill her car up with gas, and run it through a car wash too. It takes something off her to-do list and makes you seem like a hero.

83. Draw Funny Faces On the Food in The Fridge… Or Just Hide Little Notes for Her

Draw or carve little faces on all the food in there (or leave a funny note in this unexpected place) and wait to hear her crack up. You can even leave jokes on a sticky note on the fridge or bathroom mirror to make her smile when her day begins.

84. Put A Surprise in The Fridge and Leave It for Her

Put a delicious bakery cupcake, a bottle of wine, or a takeout meal from her favorite place in the fridge for her. That way, she can immediately start relaxing and enjoying her treat when she gets home. Plus, she will appreciate that you remembered what she likes.

85. Make/Bring Her Coffee While She’s Getting Ready

Every girl loves coffee, and every girl likes to be served by her boyfriend/husband sometimes (serving shows your generosity towards her). So make her a coffee the way she likes it, and bring it to her while she's getting ready.

86. Ask What You Can Do for Her

This seems like a really small, but sweet thing to do for your girlfriend... but it's actually a big deal because you're offering to help her, in exactly the way she needs, without her even having to ask. When you do it exactly the way she asks you to, she will feel a huge weight off her chest.

87. Take Time Off When She’s Sick

If she's really sick (or has a medical/dental emergency), take a few hours off work to take her to the doctor, or make sure she's comfortable at home.

Now... of course, she's able to take care of herself, but sometimes, isn't it nice to just have someone around to take of you? She thinks so too.

88. Dig up space for her flowerbed

Does your girlfriend love to plant flowers? Well, she just might need a little bit of "manual labor" out in the garden. Dig up space for her flowerbed, and she'll be touched by this sweet move. It's also an opportunity to bond with her in an activity that she likes. I promise you, she's going to love this.

89. Kiss her on the forehead

Some of the most romantic kisses aren't on the lips. A kiss on the forehead communicates that you care about her as a person, and that's incredibly sweet. Sometimes, a forehead kiss is so innocent that it tells her you're genuinely in love with her.

90. Adopt a pet with her

Adopting a pet with your girlfriend is a major step, and it shows that you're mature enough to undergo a sweet project together. When you take care of a pet with her, it will highlight your sense of responsibility. It will challenge you as a couple but it will also help you grow together.

91. Plan a date that she'd enjoy

You and she probably have a huge list of go-to date ideas (if not, check out this powerful list of fun things to do with your girlfriend), but if you really want to do something romantic for her, take her on a date that's fully focused on her.

...And while all of the following are that kind of date, they're not all insanely expensive, or overly girly.

92. Send your girlfriend a care package

Next time she has a weekend busy with work, set her up with some of her favorite meals, a treat or two, and a relaxing candle or lotion set. She'll feel really taken care of.

93. Surprise her with a shopping trip

For some girls, it's hard to spend on themselves. Put a little money aside here and there to save up and take her for a little guilt-free shopping spree.

94. Paint Her Nails

She'll feel pampered, you'll get an exercise in precision. Bonus!

95. Make her a homemade card

She'll appreciate this more than a Hallmark version.

96. Get her car oil changed

Let her know you're her right-hand man! Keeping her car tuned up is one less thing for her to stress over, plus keeps her safe on the road!

How to Pick The Best Sweet Plans For Your Girlfriend

It isn't always easy to pick the right sweet things to do for your girlfriend. After all, each girl is different! They might respond to different ideas and dates in various ways.

You might also be juggling tons of different ideas after reading this article. So how do you settle on just one sweet thing? After all, you can't do everything at once.

1. Consider Your Girlfriend's Personality

The first thing you should think about is your girlfriend's personality. What kind of things does she like? In the past, what kinds of romantic dates or ideas has she expressed interest in?

To get the best reaction, it's best to customize your ideas completely around her. That's the best way to make her feel special. Don't just "copy and paste" a romantic idea without considering her personality.

2. Don't Make It Awkward

Unfortunately, doing romantic and sweet things has a considerable chance of getting awkward. There are many reasons why it can get awkward, but it usually stems from the guy "trying too hard."

Instead of making her cringe, try to remain natural and cool. Don't think that acting like a gentleman and tipping your fedora is going to create an impact. It really needs to feel genuine for her to react positively.

3. Mean What You Say And Do

That leads to the last point: mean what you say and do. Most girls are incredibly intuitive, and they can detect fakeness a mile away. If you're going to do something sweet and meaningful, it's important that you actually have genuine feelings for the girl.

Don't do these things because you feel that you have to... Like it's expected of you. Instead, go the extra mile and do these sweet things for your girlfriend because you want to. Follow this mindset, and you can't lose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you still having trouble with deciding on the sweet things to do for your girlfriend? See if these frequently asked questions can help you out.

What do you get a girlfriend who loves getting new things?

I would suggest getting her one of her favorite body or face products that she uses every day. Check out her vanity table or bathroom counter and see what kind of stuff she has. If she has a favorite lipstick or body cream that she uses all the time, take a photo and buy them for her. She'll love that you paid attention, plus you'll get to see her use it every day.

How can you impress your girlfriend with words?

When you say what you mean and mean what you say, it is easy to impress your girlfriend. Sincerity goes a long way, so when you say sweet things to her, make sure that they're coming from the heart.

What does a girl like the most?

A girl loves it when a man does things without being told. Even if you do small things like buying some dog food for her pets or taking her car for a wash, as long as you do it without being asked, she'll appreciate you.

How do you spoil your girlfriend?

Spoiling your girlfriend is easy when you pay attention to the things she likes. It doesn't have to involve fancy restaurants or expensive flowers. If she loves the beach, surprise her with a beach date complete with a picnic you prepared. If she likes music, take her out for a concert when her favorite band is in town. If you do the things she loves, she'll feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

What can I do for my girlfriend during her period?

Food is the key, gentlemen. Get her favorite ice cream or fast food and I promise you she'll feel a whole lot better. If you have some time, cook for her too! You can also help her feel better by getting her anti-pain meds, preparing a warm compress, and cuddling her on the couch while watching cheesy movies.
