A Few Things Guys Should Know

1) PAY ATTENTION, to anyone, anytime, anywhere, any place, it's just polite!

2) TEXT BACK. Even if it's a day later, TEXT BACK. Don't ignore a question. These days we all communicate in different ways, and being on the go most of the time we use our fingers instead of our voices, because lets just face it sometimes it's easier than taking the time to actually have a real conversation. If someone merely comments on something, text back at your discretion, but don't, whatever you do, DON'T ignore a direct question. Here's a good personal example: I had a guy completely ignore a question I sent him via text only to discover that he text my best friend not even five minutes after, while I was with her, which he knew... That's just messed up men.

3) BE INTENTIONAL. Don't expect us girls to do all the work. I don't care what the relationship is, friendship or otherwise. ALL relationships are two way streets.

4) DON'T ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS FINE WHEN IT'S NOT. Hiding how you feel will only get you in trouble in the end. This fits in really well with being intentional. If something is bugging you about something someone said, tell that person. Don't let it just slide. Or even worse, build up until you think you're going to hit a wall, hitting walls hurts and costs too much in the end, both for repair of the wall, and your hand.

5) DON'T SAY SOMETHING YOU DON'T MEAN. Again, this goes in with being intentional, but deserves a bullet of it's own. Men may be simple creatures, women are not, I know I am one. You may not analyze it, but we will, remember that when you're talking to one of us beautiful creatures.

6) DON'T FLIRT WITH A GIRL IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER. ESPECIALLY if you know the girl likes you. Unless you're a total jerk, then by all means go for it.

Just a few things I thought you men might like to know... Drawing on personal experiences of myself and friends, we decided these are the things that bug us the most about you, and I in all my benevolence decided to share them with you.
