Traits of a Good Boyfriend

Article

It might seem like it's impossible to please a woman but there are traits that you can obtain that will work a long way. Your girlfriend wants to be treated like a lady and she wants to feel loved. If you're looking to improve yourself as a boyfriend take a look at this list of some traits that will help you.

Honest

Honesty is one of the most important traits that a boyfriend could have. Your girlfriend doesn't want to spend her time questioning your whereabouts and wondering if you are with the people that you say you're with. However, she cannot help but question you if you're a serial liar. Even if you're lying about something stupid she will still notice that you lied; it takes a long time to build up trust and ony a second to break it. If you don't have honesty in your relationship then your girlfriend will be constantly insecure and you will be frustrated that she doesn't trust you – don't give her reasons to question whether or not you're telling the truth.

Loyal

Although this sort of goes along with honesty, loyalty is one of the most important traits that a man can have. Show her that you have her back no matter what the situation is, and stick up for her during altercations. Needless to say, you should always be faithful to her. Loyalty goes a long way and if you're loyal to her then she will take care of you as well. Being there for her when she needs you will show how much you care for her.

Attentive

You don't have to ambush her but every girl wants her boyfriend's attention. Your girlfriend knows that there are other girls walking around but it is nice to make her feel like she is the prettiest, and that you have no interest in the others. Also, attentiveness means that you take concern for her feelings and for what makes her happy. Be attentive to her emotional and physical needs. Make sure you're aware of what she likes and does not like. Just make it clear that you are in tune with her needs.

Expressive

It's hard to find a guy that will express his emotions the same way that a girl will, but there is nothing wrong with showing some feelings. When you're having a discussion or argument with your girlfriend you should listen to what she has to say, and you should share how you feel. If you're just sitting there and nodding at her, you're not going to make any progress in the relationship. Likewise, your girlfriend will appreciate if you express your feelings for her with actions, and by saying that you love her. Also, when you notice that she's wearing her hair different or she has a hot new outfit on, point it out – you will be surprised how well she responds to compliments.

Adventurous

Don't be afraid to try new things. Women don't like to get bored and sometimes she wants you to think of new activities to try. Likewise, be open minded in bed. She wants to try new positions, christen new places, and even use some toys, but she might be embarrassed to bring it up; therefore, show your fun side by suggesting new ways to do it. Take her somewhere that she has never been before or cook her a meal that she has never tried. Just try to keep your relationship new and exciting, even if you've been together for years.

Understanding

Just like you want her to forgive you when you make a mistake, you must be understanding of her as well. She is only human and she will run into some obstacles, and you must show her the same understanding that she shows you. She might give you an unwarranted bad attitude or be overly sensitive one day, but you will be sweet to her because you understand that women are hormonal sometimes.

Humorous

Women want a man that doesn't take himself too seriously. In a world that tends to be rough, it's necessary to be able to laugh at life. Plus, women enjoy laughing so being able to tell a funny joke will go a long way. She will be a lot more attracted to you if you can make her laugh, and your life together will be a lot less dull.
