Many women think they know what men want, but when it comes right down to it, they do not know the last thing about what a man wants in a woman. The fact of the matter is that most women put far too much thought into what they do and when they do it. Men generally just want women to be themselves, but also respect them when they are themselves. If you have been wondering what you can do to be a better girlfriend you might want to try.

Eating more than a salad when he takes you to dinner. A guy wants a girl who will eat with him and when all you order time after time is a salad he will assume you have more issues than he is willing to deal with.

Do not play guessing games. Just tell him what you want. A guy would rather that you just tell him what you want than to play games or expect that he will know what is wanted or expected of him. Do not call him silly names in front of his friends. He may accept you calling him pookie when you are at home, but leave the nicknames at home!

Tell him what you want in the bedroom. Again, he would like you to just be honest and not require him to guess at what will make you happy. He wants to please you, so let him know how.

Do not ask him to meet your family and friends too soon. You will scare him off if you do. It is not that he does not like you or want to know your family; he just does not want to rush into it.

Allow him to have a guys night out, and do not complain about it. Your man is who he is and has been since before you came along, so allow him to keep being himself even with you.Go out with your friends. He wants to be your boyfriend but he does not want to be the center of your universe, he wants you to have fun with your friends, too.

Do not call him when he is out with his friends more than once. He likes you and wants to be with you, but does not want to be tied down to you. Have fun with him. Do not be uptight or worry too much about little things. Remember, women usually put too much thought into things and your man will appreciate it if you do not!

Do not get angry when he turns on the game. He likes sports. You can try to talk about moderation after the game, but throwing a fit in the middle of the game will not do any good!

These are little things that every man wishes he could tell his girlfriend but is not quite sure how to word it. Men generally are just much simpler than women when dating, and this is where many of the problems begin. It may take some adjustment to commit to any of these things, but in the end you will find that it is more than worth it.
