How do you keep the girl?

Asked by Eggie (5921points) August 4th, 2011

I consider myself to be a good looking guy….I am not flattering myself but I consider this because of my past experiences where I have been hit on a lot by girls from since I was 13 and also from what friends and relatives tell me. I have no problem in attracting girls, because most of the girls that I have dated made the first move on me first, but all of my relationships were short termed. I want to know how does guys keep the girl, how do I hold a long term relationship. My cousin, is a “pretty boy” like me and he has a successful relationship, but for me something always goes wrong…how do you guys do it?

Well if you are going around trying to get any girl to like you and stay with you it’s not going to work. She is going to see that you’ll take her as you would any girl and that’s just not exciting. It’s a kind of despiration. Be picky (and you should be picky because women aren’t nearly as sweet as they look) Maybe you are going for the wrong girl. That girl who is obviously attractive…boobs out, tight clothes, impeckably kept…she get’s hit on by all the boys, and so she gets to be very picky and sometimes even treat them like crap. So dig a little deeper, just because you cant see the boobs doesn’t mean they aren’t there Sorry if that sounds a bit condesending, but I don’t know you. So be picky and be yourself….but there is some truth in the phrase ‘treat ‘em mean keep ‘em keen’. Hope that helps.

I’m assuming you’re younger, so I would take @lemming‘s advice. I don’t think that many people are successful finding long term relationships when they are young, and for a good reason. Do you really want to dedicate your life to someone and have them discard you at a whim? We all have to make mistakes, but some mistakes aren’t worth it, and that’s just my opinion.

Get this straight in your skull…you do NOT keep a girl…she is not a keep sakel. If you treat her with respect and show her a little kindness…and make her laugh and smile…make her feel special for who she is… feed her chocolate cake….she might just take a liking to you! Don’t forget to hold her hand!

You say you have no problem in attracting girls, but if you really want to keep a girl, you have to attract one who really wants to be with you, one who wants you to be their one and only. That takes time and a lot of “fishing in the water”. But eventually you will “know” which girl is the one for you, because she will always want to be with you, care about you, and treat you very special. A good girl is a mature one, mentally and emotionally. That’s how I found my girlfriend (now my wife).

You maybe good looking but you could lack social skills OR you might not be that interesting.

But yeah she’s not not an object to stay with you for as long as you like or until you get bored of her.

Once you find a girl who likes you for you, she’ll stick around. Women and men are often shallow, at least at the beginning of a relationship – think about it. What attracts you first? Her physical appearance, right? Of course. People are going to be inspired to approach people who they find physically attractive. Unfortunately, some people are unable to look past the physical and see a person for who they are inside. It could be that the girls you’ve dated have been drawn to you physically, but aren’t exactly compatible with you personality-wise. It might be time to broaden your horizons – that is, date girls who are into the same kind of things you are, whether or not they’re your physical “type”.

Keep her? You do things. You are there for her. You listen to her. Spend time with her.

You love her.

If you love her and she loves you back, a relationship is much easier. There are still many issues, but because of the love, you want to fix the problems. It’s a kind of commitment.

I have a feeling that most people think in terms of what have you done for me lately? Does she still fit my ideal?

You want to keep someone, you think the other way around. What can I do for you today? How can I make your life better? How can I show you how much I care for you? How can I let you know that I’m always thinking about you?

If she likes you, she’ll love all that. If she doesn’t like you, it’ll be a pain. She might use you for a while, but eventually it won’t be worth it to her, and she’ll break it off. If you really like her, you’ll feel that coming a mile off.

Make sure you only want to keep a girl who you believe really truly enjoys your company, not just your looks or your efforts to be charming, agreeable and fun. You two will have to get to know each other’s personalities in order for there to be mutual respect and admiration. When you have that then acknowledge those things so compliments will be genuine rather than “sweet” little things. Have each other’s backs.

Care more about her needs than your own. I’m not just talking about sex.. Listen to her, ask her what would make her happy, and also, take care of yourself. Have goals and ambitions. When the girl comes along who shares your vision, you will be inseparable.

Get her to want to keep you.
