Can you always make your woman happy? Let’s face it – you can’t. What I mean is nobody can. But you can do your best with the right ideas at your fingertips.
Here, I’ll share several tips on how to make your girlfriend happy to improve your bond. You sure don’t want to miss out on these tips, so do well to read to the end.
How to Make Your Girlfriend Happy?
We all know that nobody but ourselves has the key to happiness. Nevertheless, there are still ways to put a massive grin on your girlfriend’s face. The bare fact that you are here, eager and willing to do just that, means you are on the way to one happy relationship. So, do the following:
1. Start Simple – Ask
Yes, people say that women don’t know what they want, or even worse, they know, but they will never admit it. There might be some truth, but only if you don’t know how to ask. It is also said – ask, and you shall receive. Well, the same goes for the gestures of love.
The simplest way is to approach her and ask her what you can do for her. You want to let her know that you wish to do something nice for her and make her life easier or more exciting. It can be something simple, like changing the oil in the car, or something that will affect her daily life.
This is particularly helpful when she is in a crisis and more sensitive than usual. Pay attention to the days when she has stress at work, family issues, PMS, or sick days. Simple – What can I do to help? I will sometimes already do the job.
2. Ask Again
If you are planning something special or some big event is coming up, don’t just take a wild guess. The one person that probably knows her the best is her best friend and her sisters. Taking the time to come up with something special is very endearing in itself.
Females discuss their impressions with their girls much more than you know. Plus, her best friend/sister has probably known her way longer than you do – all those hours on the phone, they must most definitely know everything from her favorite perfume, the mascara she is out of, that hair mask she always buys, and her favorite precious stone.
She will also help you with everything that can ruin a surprise – shoe size, ring size, measurements, etc.
3. The Devil Is in the Detail
When I was in high school, my mum always drove me to school, and then she would continue to work while my dad had a home office. However, in the winter months, he would always get up half an hour early and turn the seat heater on so the car is nice and warm for her and then go back to bed.
Such a small and simple gesture of love, repeated daily, year after year, remained one of the sweetest things I have ever witnessed. The gestures don’t have to be grandiose – as long as they are thoughtful and kind, they can put the sweetest smile on her face.
Small things like that make a difference. Make her favorite coffee in the morning, always ensure you buy her her favorite snacks, and leave a small love note before you go on a work trip. She will definitely notice.
4. Pay Attention
One of the most beautiful ways to show someone you care about them is to pay attention to their likes and dislikes and incorporate that information into your daily routine. Learn how she likes her coffee and what’s her favorite breakfast. Does she like to sleep in so you can do some early morning activities for her?
Pay attention to what’s her favorite restaurant, and bring her takeout from that place. Is there a dessert that she likes? Leave it in the fridge for her. Does she like having time for reading, or does she need better lighting on her makeup vanity? If you pay attention, she will give you easy cues to make her life easier.
But more importantly, it’s thought that matters. When you bring her that caramel macchiato she always buys, she will know that you are present and interested, which is the most valuable quality a partner can have.
5. Be Practical
This goes hand in hand with paying attention. Sometimes the best gifts are simple and valuable. Phone chargers, extra batteries, new earphones, and home supplies might not sound nearly romantic is a spa weekend for two, but amid the modern-day chaotic environment, it might be just what she needs.
6. The Classics
Some tried and tested ways never fail – that is how they became classics. Date nights in restaurants are so simple, yet many couples in long-term relationships forget to date after a while and particularly after they start living together.
Think of how you wowed her when you got to know her and never stopped repeatedly charming her. For a reason, red roses, bouquets, chocolates, romantic baths, spa dates, and love letters became classics.
7. Learn Her Love Language
Each girl is different, some are hopeless romantics, and some are more practical. Some girls need words of affirmation and some acts of service. It’s about how she wants to receive love, not how you are used to showing love. There are five types of love languages – some girls prefer only one, and some two or more. Here are the big five:
- words of affirmation
- quality time
- physical touch
- acts of service
- receiving gifts
When you find out her preferred way of receiving, go into the details of how she likes it.
If she needs words of affirmation, is it a sweet message on a sticky note that would put a smile on her face, or is it an eye-to-eye open conversation? Does she want a long love letter or short and sweet text? What kind of compliment does she love? Her style, charm, work ethic, or wit? Or does she value quality time above all else?
8. Go Outside of Your Comfort Zone
Is there something that could benefit the relationship that you have been avoiding? Committed relationships are a great format for us to learn and grow. However, growth can only happen outside our comfort zone.
The beauty of the experiences we share with loved ones is that they all help us learn more about ourselves. Is there something you have been reluctant to try that she has been talking about for a long time?
If it doesn’t go against your morals and integrity, this is a perfect way to show that you are willing to go above and beyond for her. Sign up for that baking course, yoga class, couples therapy, or travel to a faraway country.
Conclusion
If you read this far, you should know how to make your girlfriend happy. As complex as women in romantic relationships can be, we all appreciate someone caring and present. The mere fact that you are asking, planning, thinking, and taking notes should be enough to make one lucky girl smile.
The cherry on top is, of course, if you get it right. As silly as it can be, part of a healthy and lasting relationship is observing and learning about your loved one – it is also the sweetest thing you can do.
