You interrupt her with solutions when she’s trying to talk about her problems.
You want to help, and you hate to see her unhappy. Your primary source of happiness in a relationship is based in how much you can contribute to her happiness. So when she has a problem, you try to come to her rescue. This is the way you show love to her. The danger is she may interpret this as you not caring about what she is trying to tell you, and are instead focused on moving on quickly, with fix... don't do that, unless she asks for a quick fix.
Strategy: She isn't looking for you to solve the things she’s telling you. She wants your support by you listening patiently, making eye contact, and making little noises of agreement or nodding your head. This is the way you can help and show your love for her. Just show her you care.
"Problem"
She wants you to take your dates more seriously.
Guys tend to be casual about quality time, and this can rub her the wrong way. Your last-minute planning, or putting the ball in her court as to what you want to do or where you want to eat, can come off to her as you don’t care enough about her.
Strategy: Take control of date night. Tell her you would like to take her out this weekend, or within the next week. Women have a need to anticipate time together. If your style is to wait until the last minute to plan a date, stop it. You may think giving her the option of where to go or what to do shows that you care about what she wants, but it doesn't. Pre-planning conveys that you care about her and want her to have a fun, stress-free experiences.
"Problem"
She wants you to say “I love you more."
When a man doesn't say it, the woman assumes that he loves her less. Guys tend to think that they don’t need to say it if they show it. Just get in the habit of saying: " I love you MORE!"
Strategy: You won’t know how she feels unless you ask her. If she has said that she would like you to say "I love you too" more often, do it. She’s communicating that this is what she needs from you to feel secure in your relationship. this is a no brain-er.
"Problem"
She thinks you’re “TOO in your head.”
Basically, you’re not showing enough emotion. To her, it might seem that you don’t love her as much, because you’re not willing to share how you’re feeling about things, In reality, we men tend to detach from our emotions in times of moderate stress. We go into analysis mode, whereas women are the opposite. They experience deeper emotional reactions in times of stress.”
Strategy: As long as you both are aware of your tendencies in these situations—and therefore, know what to expect from each other—you’ll be able to prepare for stressful times. Allow each other to cope the way as needed, not how you expect each other to.
"Problem"
She needs more attention than she once did to become aroused.
Men often misinterpret this as the woman being less interested in or attracted to them, but in fact that’s probably not the case. At the beginning of the relationship, the newness stimulates dopamine that creates arousal for her quickly from oxytocin. As the newness fades, so do those hormonal surges. She needs more touch and affection to achieve similar levels of intensity.
Strategy: Foreplay. Women do need more than men to grow aroused, so help her out. this not something you learn from your boyz.. real men take time to understand what their women's needs are, get advise from wiser friends who have been doing it right for some years. Or get a lesbian friend and ask her questions. She might just tell you about the feather duster, and to use it, make sure it is new and clean. You don't want her sneezing her head off because of the dust!
