You love him and want him to be happy.
So here are a few things to help you keep your man smiling and content to be with you.
Don't play games with his emotions.
Being playful is ok, but playing mind games not a way to happiness.
A man has feelings too, and trying to manipulate him or control him is disrespectful.
No man wants to be with a woman who doesn't respect him.
Show you're respect with honest and healthy communication and interaction with him.
Recognize his uniqueness.
Appreciate him for who he is, and let him know it.
Pay him compliments on his strengths.
Don't harp on his weaknesses.
We all have them, but we don't constantly need to be reminded of them.
Let him be who he is, weaknesses and all, and don't try to make him into something he's not.
Keep yourself interesting.
Have your own life and passions.
Don't think a man is only happy with a woman who's constantly there for him.
You need to have something to contribute to the relationship.
Having your own interests makes you interesting to be with, gives you something to talk about, and emphasizes that you really are a catch.
Be honest.
Don't lie or hide things from a man.
He will feel the deception, and even if he doesn't, it's bound to come out eventually.
Be yourself, and share that self with him.
Let him know what you really think, feel, and want.
Be caring and giving.
You'll need to maintain your independence and self-respect, but you also want to show him you care.
Especially when he's having a hard time, you'll want to do things for him.
This doesn't mean you've lost yourself just to please him and take care of his needs.
It means you care enough to give of yourself.
Know when he needs space.
Everyone needs time away or apart, He has his own life too, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Let him spend time with his friends or family without you.
Know when to back off and let him be away from you.
It will make him happier when he is with you.
Make your time together good.
This doesn't mean you have to be ridiculously adventurous or cheerful all the time, but try to keep the moodiness or neediness in check.
He doesn't want every minute with you to be about taking care of you and your needs.
Be happy to be with him, and he will be happy too.
