Men aren’t exactly good at communicating – especially not about their feelings.
It’s not always easy for a guy to express himself and say what’s on his mind.
This makes it difficult for women to know what guys like.
To help you out, I’ve come up with a list of 21 common things that guys love their girlfriends to do.
Let’s jump right in:
1) Guys love to be taken care of
Maybe they won’t admit it out loud, but guys love to be taken care of by their girlfriends.
Now, this is especially true if they had a mother who spoiled them and did everything for them.
There’s a lot of stuff that falls into this category, from bringing him chicken soup when he is sick, to shopping for clothes for him, to picking up his dry cleaning.
It’s up to you to decide if and where to draw the line.
All I know is:
If you take care of your man he’ll be really grateful and will love you even more.
2) Guys like to be romanced
I kid you not!
Guys want their girlfriends to show them how much they care.
They like romantic gestures as much as girls do.
So, what can you do?
- Get him little gifts like chocolates or a book you know he’d like
- Surprise him after work by taking him out to dinner and a movie
- Change the lyrics to a song to make it about him
- Watch the Godfather trilogy on a Friday night
In essence: Romance is all about the little things that you do to show him how much he means to you.
3) Guys love to be the center of attention
News flash: Guys love to be the center of attention.
Whether it’s at a party, in a relationship, or just in general, they seem to thrive on being the star of the show.
So show him how important he is to you – make him feel like he’s the most important thing in your life.
- Give him your full attention when he speaks
- Really listen. Try not to interrupt (guys hate that)
- Laugh at his jokes
- Tell him how clever what he said was
- Consult him whenever you need to make a decision
It will boost his ego and make him happy to be with someone who appreciates him the way he should be appreciated.
So, the more attention you show, the more he’ll feel like a priority in your life.
Shower him with attention and he’ll love you for it.
4) Guys love it when you play with their hair
Did you know that guys love it when you run your hands through their hair?
You see, when you run your hands through your boyfriend’s hair, it feels nice, like you’re caressing him.
It feels so good!
And here’s another thing:
It’s an intimate, playful, and sweet gesture – all in one.
It shows that you care, that you feel comfortable with him, and that the two of you have a close relationship.
5) Guys love it when you make an effort to dress up
Guys love it when their girlfriends dress up for them.
Now, some girls get a little too comfortable once they’re in a relationship.
They stop wearing make-up, stop brushing their hair, and walk around in sweatpants.
It’s like they think that because they have a boyfriend, they can stop making an effort.
But you see: A guy loves it when his girl makes an effort to look good for him from time to time.
It shows him that she cares, that she doesn’t take him for granted and that it’s important to her that he finds her attractive.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to dress sexy and walk around in 5-inch heels all day, every day.
That would be super uncomfortable and i wouldn’t make it special.
What should you do?
From time to time, when you go out on the weekend to dinner or a party, dress to impress.
Make him remember what drew you to him in the first place.
6) Guys like it when you bite your lips
If you’re a guy, there’s just something about a girl who bites her lip that you can’t resist.
It’s a flirty yet cute gesture that shows you that she likes you and wants to be with you.
Trust me, biting your lips is a sexy gesture.
So if you’re trying to get your boyfriend to do something for you, or you don’t want him to be angry over some silly thing that you did, try biting your lips as you smile and stare into his eyes. He won’t be able to resist.
7) Guys love it when you cook for them
There’s nothing better than a homecooked meal.
It may sound a bit old-fashioned but guys just love it when their girlfriends and wives cook for them.
Of course, this is especially true if their mother is a great cook.
Hey, what can I say, it always goes back to the mother!
Now:
If you’re not a great cook, that’s fine – make something simple like meat and potatoes, he’ll appreciate the gesture even more because he knows you don’t normally cook.
However, if you do know how to cook, consider making something extra special, for example, a three-course French meal.
Or even better, call his mum up and ask her for the recipes for his favorite meals growing up.
Truth is: A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
8) Guys love it when you compliment them
You know how wonderful it feels when someone tells you how beautiful you are? Or when they tell you that your pasta is the best pasta they’ve ever had? Or that your presentation blew away the whole office?
Well, guys want to feel that way too – guys love compliments.
Compliments are a great way to show him that you appreciate him in all aspects of his life.
So, what can you do?
- Compliment his sense of humor
- Compliment his physique and his looks
- Compliment his intelligence
- Compliment his sense of style
Remember not to take your boyfriend for granted.
The bottom line is this:
A guy loves to be flattered by his girlfriend.
He loves it when she makes him feel special and appreciated.
It’s important to feel seen and valued by someone you love.
9) Guys love it when you act natural
Guys don’t like to be in a relationship with fake girls.
Girls who put on a show might be fun for a night or two, but they’re certainly not relationship material.
So what should you do?
Be yourself and don’t try to be someone you’re not.
- Don’t try to be fancy if you’re not.
- Don’t pretend to like movies or books that you think will make you sound clever.
- Don’t act like you’re better than everyone else.
You see – you’re unique, there’s no reason to hide it or be ashamed of who you are.
Guys love girls who act natural, who are are not afraid to show themselves.
They want someone they can feel comfortable and at ease with.

You need to be there for your boyfriend, through the good times and the bad and he’ll love you for it.
11) Guys love it when you wear their T-shirt

What’s more, the fact that you’re sharing clothes makes them feel even closer to you.
