BALLERIFIC RELATIONSHIPS – SINGLE GUY TO BOYFRIEND

Making the change from single guy to boyfriend is not always an easy one. There are things that you are accustomed to. There are habits that you have developed that have helped you in your single life. There are those places that you go and those people that you hang out with. When you’re single, you handle situations differently and even treat women differently. Once you find that girl you want to call yours, things have to change. You have to change old ways and develop new habits that will allow you to keep her.


What About Your Friends?

Today, it is not uncommon for you to have friends of the opposite sex. Actually, it would be quite weird if you didn’t. Some would say that you’re less attractive if you don’t have any female friends. However, a woman can be threatened by your relationship with another woman. If your friend is your best friend, your new girl is going to have to accept that she’s going to be around for a while. On the other hand, if you’re friends with that girl you wanted to date but ended up in the friend zone with, your girl will see right through it. Let’s face it, you like this friend and you’re only friends because you hope she’ll come around one day and realize that you’re the one for her. If you want things to move further with your new girl, that friend can’t be around. Also, some friendly relationships with the opposite sex have a hint of sexual tension. You can tell this by the level of comfort when it comes to certain things such as how you greet your friend. The soft kisses near the lips, the hugs with the arms wrapped around the waists, and the glances from across the room all have to be over. It’s ok to have a friend of the opposite sex, but make sure that she is just a friend.


Time and Place

When you’re single, you go where you want to go and when you want to go. Do you think that you’re new girlfriend is going to put up with your free will? Nope. When you’re in a relationship, you have to think for two. When deciding to go somewhere, you should be thinking of two things: “Is this some place that she might want to go as well?” and “Is she comfortable with me being there without her?” You may feel that thinking like this will take away from your masculinity but in actuality you are showing signs of being a real man. Considering your woman’s feelings will make her respect you. She will know that you are about her as much as you are about yourself. Of course, you do need time apart. Every relationship has quality time together and quality time apart. She has to know when to give you your space. The only way she’s going to know that is through communication. Communicate with clarity and honesty. If you and your boy’s are going to the King of Diamond’s gentlemen’s club, then that’s where you should be. She should extend the same level of respect. There’s a right time and right place for everything, just make sure she’s in on it.


Be Yourself.

The all-time classic sign of immaturity is putting up a front for other people. When you’re single, it’s okay to adopt a “I don’t love ‘em” attitude. Now that you have your girl, that attitude has to change. No matter how old men are, their boys are always around to crack jokes when a man shows signs of affection towards his woman. When you’re with your girl, just laugh along and keep the display of affection going. Your woman wants to feel like a prize. She wants to know that you’re proud of having her as your girlfriend. You absolutely cannot be all about her behind close doors but when you get in public, you alienate her. Don’t waste your time impressing your “boys” when she’s around or you’ll spend the night with tissue and a bottle of Jergens.
