Hope and love with Hope Kumor

I bet at least half the student
body has a significant other. Either
you are happy with them or not so
happy. Girls, I bet if he isn’t the
best at relationships, you wish he
would change. Guys, I bet you
wish she wouldn’t nag you about
every little thing. Well, I am here
to give you both ideas and advice
to help your relationship.
Currently I am dating this guy. I
am his first girlfriend. In the beginning
of our relationship, he
was distant and closed off. He
wouldn’t hold my hand; he
wouldn’t want to sit close to me,
we would only kiss when we said
goodbye. I had to learn that this
was his first relationship and I had
to be patient.We are coming up to
our one-year anniversary. Now
he’s more open and willing to do
those things. Before, I would have
to talk to him more than once to
get him to do these simple things
that were so hard for him. As you
all know, guys aren’t too great at
communicating. The following are
techniques some guys may need
to know. Some of these are things
guys already know. But I am just
reminding you what girls like:
One of the best things when
going on a date with a girl is to
open the door for her and let her
through first. It makes you look
like a gentleman and a romantic.
You should also pay for the girl
on the first date. Come on, I know
you guys have some money.
Plan ahead. Research some fun
things to do before you go. It
doesn’t always have to cost
money. Girls like simple things. A
girl like a walk in the park with
you holding her hand.
Now, some advice for the girls.
Next time he says he’s going to
call you and he doesn’t, don’t call
him. See what happens. He may
surprise you.
Once in a while make him run
after you. That way you will really
know if he’s into you.
Let’s say at the end of the night
you are always the one who mentions
the plans for the next time
you hang out. This time wait for
him to bring up those plans. Let
him tell you the plans rather than
you telling him. Or do the opposite.
If he always dictates the
plans, tell him you have an idea
and see if he listens.
If you are always the one who
has to hold his hand and make the
first move, I say wait for him to
do it.
I’m not saying all of these things
are guaranteed to work. Nothing
is ever solid. People say you
should always try new things and
experiment. I know what some of
you are thinking.What makes you
so qualified? Well. I’m no expert.
But I do know people’s behavior;
I observe people and try to understand
why they act the way they
do.
I hope you will read my articles
and stick with me.H?pe “2”Help.
