7. Don’t Fear the Relationship Talk

When the woman that you like wants to talk about the things between you and her, it doesn’t mean you did or said something wrong (well, not necessarily).

According to Kirschner, you’d be surprised to know that it’s in women’s nature to talk about the “state of the union”.

They really enjoy having this discussion — what’s going wrong, what’s going right, or simply what’s going on. It isn’t a bad thing.

An honest, wide-ranging dialogue can make your relationship stronger, bringing the two of you closer.

8. Look Your Partner in the Eye

You may think that sitting side by side would be enough, but women prefer face time — and no, we’re not talking about the latest mobile video chat technology.

The girls we’ve been talking to explained that women do love it when their partners make eye contact with them while talking. But that’s not all.

Looking her in the eye during intimacy will deepen the connection both inside and outside the bedroom.

9. Don’t Try to Fix Their World

Feeling understood is one of our deepest needs as humans, and you cannot truly understand someone without feeling empathy.

As psychologist Carl Rogers once said, “When someone genuinely listens without trying to mold you, taking responsibility for you, or without passing judgment on you, it feels damn good!”

When something’s bugging them, they want an ear to listen, not a bit of advice. “Men tend to be solution-oriented, so they feel the need to fix things”, adds Kirschner. “But to a woman, truly listening is a great, great thing that deepens the relationship.”

10. Romance Is Simple; Keep It Coming

Women love romantic stuff. That’s a fact.

Whether you’ve been together for 15 years or two months, romance is something they’ll always want.

An intimate dinner, flowers, a few lines of love poetry — don’t fret, they don’t have to be written by you — may sound cliché, but love gurus insist that most women enjoy such simple romantic gestures and often express their appreciation after the lights go down.
