The Perfect Girlfriend

So there is plenty of material out there telling guys how to treat women. However, do you girls really expect to get away with telling us guys how to treat you while we sit by quietly, doting on your every whim while our own desires go unnoticed? Well, this note is a retaliation, showing what a guy expects of his girl. in other words, if a girl ever managed to fulfill this entire list all the time, she would be the perfect girlfriend, without a doubt. not only that title would she easily fill, but perfect human being as well. So, in knowing that there is no perfect human being outside of Him known as Jesus Christ the Son of God, we don't actually expect you to be this person because that is quite impossible. This list was created to show that you can't be perfect, so don't expect us to!

when he says he's not good enough for you,
tell him he's the only one for you

When he is insecure about how he looks,
tell him he looks awesome

When he's with his friends,
don't embarrass him

when he is confused and frustrated by the mystery of girls,
take the time to explain how they (you) work

when he is stressed,
be understanding and caring

when he reaches for the stars,
don't underestimate him and cut him down with your lack of faith

when you find out his surprise for you
don't tell him

when he is ill,
take care of him like a mother would

when he makes a trivial accident,
don't hold it against him

when he's upset,
hug him close

when he's nervous,
hold his hand and look at him reassuringly

when his friends are jerks,
be nice to them

when he achieves something,
take pride in him

when he needs his space
give it to him

don't get mad if he gets a little jealous of other guys
he just knows how amazing you are

don't assume he's cheating on you,
he should hold your constant and unfailing trust

don't try to impress him all the time,
he loves you for who you are, looks just make that love easier to maintain

don't talk about how hot other guys are,
he's not THAT secure

don't cheat on him,
especially in your heart

don't be a hippocrite,
he'll remember more than what you think

don't be mad if he can't pick up on your "clues"
girls don't come with instruction manuals

don't call him stupid,
he's been told that too many times already

don't nag him,
it's annoying and a big turn off

don't be envious of his other female friends (let him spend time with them),
you are the only one for him, but he needs friends just as much as you do

don't manipulate him to get what you want,
you will lose his trust and love

don't flirt with other guys,
he'll think he's not enough for you,
and he'll be right

don't try to change him,
you may not like who he becomes
you should love him for who he is now
and love him as he changes into a better person

don't be so disillusion as to think that he can devote all of his time to you,
that doesn't even happen in marriage!
when he can't see you, he can't see you and he suffers too

wait for his call every night
wait for his text
wait for him to come home

cuddle with him every night

limit your shopping expenses (especially if it's his hard earned money you are using)

motivate him to become a better person,
so he can better love you

take part in his interests
even if they are not your interests

let him into your life by introducing him to your friends and family
(with confidence that he won't do anything stupid, if you lack faith in him, he will fail)

make sure he knows how much you love him,
and if you think he does, tell him anyway

Never put yourself down
because he believes in you

cry in front of him,
he wants to comfort you

go to sleep on him,
he wants to keep you secure and comfortable

tell him everything about you,
just not all at once

take care of yourself,
he wants to grow old with you

respect his beliefs and morals,
even if they aren't yours

let him take care for you
when you don't feel well

even when he calls late,
talk to him

you will be treated how you dress

remember that he needs as much attention as you do

listen to what he has to say, no matter how long he talks

talk things over, just to make sure it's ok

be completely open with him and hold nothing back, not even your secrets

defend him in front of your family and friends

surprise him with food every now and then :)

treat him like a person (he has feelings too), not a hot rod

be sensitive to his heart,
it breaks just as easily as yours does
and often takes longer to rebuild

be honest

be yourself around his friends and family

be your own person,
don't derive who you are from your friends, family, or boyfriend
he loves you for who you are

if he forgets something,
don't hold it against him

if you ask a question that you don't want an answer to,
expect an answer you don't want to hear

if he tells you that you are beautiful,
and you say you aren't,
he'll stop telling you

remember, he's not a vampire named Edward,
he's not the lead guy in a steamy romance novel,
he's not a mind reader,
he's not perfect,
don't expect him to be!
