What do you do when your partner loses someone? Honestly there is nothing you can do but let them know you are there and will listen if they want to talk, cuddle when they want/ you think they need it and just be there for them in general. Everyone copes with loss in different ways some want to be left alone while others feel the need to be closer to those they love and all you can do is allow your partner to grieve as they wish and in time things will go back to normal, whether you are feeling suffered by them or ignored by them.

Distance

Men and women are completely different, yet when it comes to the question of distance we are essentially the same. Both like to know that the other is thinking about them while they are separated, and all this takes is a little text of a call just once even (depending on the length of separation time). Women like to know that they were missed and can tell this without the man having to say it. We're just that good! :P Yes a little present does go a long way in these situations but all in all let us know that you were thinking of us while you were away and this goes for women too, men like to know you missed them just as much as you like to know they missed you BUT not all men are smart enough to notice the extra x's put at the end of a text or the tone of your voice that to you screams I MISS YOU!!!, sometimes you just have to spell it out and tell them!

Boys, Men and women

This is mainly focused on Irish boys/men as in my experience the males of other counties seem to know how to win the females over and how to keep them interested and happy!

Firstly guys we DO NOT like it when you come up behind us and grab us in a nightclub, unless you are our boyfriend. It is not how to make us feel appreciated or wanted or attractive! It is a crude and disgusting way to get a girl to kiss you. It makes us feel like we are nothing but a pair of tits in a short dress! OK! yes we do often go along with this as we KNOW that this is the ONLY way that Irish guys know how to get girls! Well listen up and I'll tell you how girls really want to be won over by you.

We like to feel like you want more than just getting you leg over/getting it in, we want to feel like, yes you like how we look but that you also want to get to know us a little bit so that you can like us for who we really are rather for how we can make ourselves appear. I hate to tell you this boys but LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!! The girl who is in the smallest skirt and who is dancing the dirtiest dance isn't always going to be the "sure thing" more often than not she is the girl who has the most insecurities to hide.

Women like to be treated like women not like sexual objects. . . unless were having sex but that is a different story! We like to be taken care of, brought out to dinner, to the movies. We like to feel like you are proud that your with us and that you want to show us off to the world. Introduce us to your friends, if things are getting serious, if the L BOMB has been dropped by one or both of you then introduce us to the family, I mean after saying "I LOVE YOU" it's about time that we meet the family!

Women do like to be treated to dinner and the movies and yes most girls love jewellery and flowers and chocolates but here's what most guys DON'T KNOW. . . we LOVE the little sentimental gifts even more! Things like going to the park to just be together and maybe have an ice cream (if it's sunny) or split a bag of chips, or gift wise find out what your girl likes before you buy her a present and if she knows that you have put some thought into it you will reap the rewards!
