Stop Doing This If You Want to Get and Keep a Boyfriend

Finally. There is a great guy in you life and if he isn't your boyfriend already you hope he will be soon. You are sure that you are the perfect girlfriend for him. But after some time it happens AGAIN, he tells you, you are not the right woman for him, or even worse, you don't ever hear from him again. How can you keep a boyfriend? At least don't make these mistakes.

1. You go to fast. You make him a 3 course meal on the first date. You call him your boyfriend too soon. You talk a lot about the future, you want to marry next year and in 3 years you want to have two children. Instead you should have fun en enjoy each other.

2. You are not honest. Being honest to him is crucial, and perhaps more important, you should be honest with yourself. Whenever you make a mistake, admit that you were wrong and apologize.

3. You are negative. Everything you say and talk about is a criticism or an assault on him or other people around him. If you do talk about people like that, he won't look forward to be around you. Nevertheless, don't agree with him all the time, only because he is your boyfriend and you are afraid to lose him. If something or someone is bothering you, tell him.

4. Don't show him what you want. If your meaning of life is to do everything that makes him happy, than stop doing that. There are things in life you want and need to be happy. Tell him. Don't argue about it. Just tell him. Perhaps you think he should "know" what you want and need. But let me tell you one thing. Most men don't know unless you tell them.

5. You don't show interest in his interests. You do not have to like his favorite music or movie, but at least try to listen to his favorite music for once. And although you don't enjoy watching Die Hard, go to the video store and get it for him.

6. You are always around. Many women think they should be around her boyfriend or husband. Wrong. Men need some space. It has nothing to do with you! Your boyfriend just needs to go out with the guys. Give him the space he needs, and tell him you will be there for him when he needs you.
