24 Small, But Important, Things Girls Desperately Want Their Boyfriends To Do WithOUT Being Told

Dating is interesting. Whether it's your first relationship or your fifth, there is always a lot of learning that will happen throughout the duration of the relationship. Eventually, both parties will probably develop expectations for their counterpart (if they didn't already have them going into the relationship).

While boys can't read our minds, there are definitely times when us girls wish that they could. There are just so many little gestures that would mean the world to us if they happened naturally. Why is it so hard for boys to just show true thoughtfulness without having to be told to first? Girls are going to thoroughly enjoy the genuine thoughtfulness that their boyfriends show for them; just think, doing these actions will help the boys become more nurturing, and in return, more loveable, while the girls will ultimately feel like they mean something to their boyfriends and feel good. See, it's a win-win for both parties.

Here are 24 small, yet highly valuable, things that girls want their boyfriends to do without having to tell them to.

1. Hold the door open for her

Even if you have to drop her hand and sprint around her to get to that door handle first, do it.

2. Ask her how her day was

3. Tell her that her feelings are valid

4. Send her an "I've been thinking about you" text

It will mean the world.

5. Make eye contact with her

6. Always be truthful

This is key to building a lasting trust between the two of you.

7. Handwrite her a note

So she can keep it forever.

8. Kiss her on the forehead

9. Hold her hand

10. Be sure that your words always align with your actions

There is no bigger turn-off than when a person's actions are completely different from what they claim to be.

11. Take ownership for your actions

Unfortunate events are going to happen; showing her that you acknowledge the course of what happened proves to her that you are responsible and aware of the situation rather than trying to deny it.

12. Ask her how she's doing

13. Apologize when appropriate

14. Be confident

A girl loves a boy who is confident in his actions, not cocky, or oppositely, constantly nervous.

15. Tell her "thank you" for even the smallest things

Girls don't want their efforts to go unnoticed.

16. Take pictures with her

17. Always make sure that you have fresh breath

Always, always, always.

18. Be genuinely interested in her stories

Everyone deserves a thoughtful listener.

19. Cherish the time you do get to spend with one another

Life gets hectic; always be thankful for the time, no matter how long it is, that you get to be with your significant other.

20. Give her flowers

21. Hug her tightly

22. Kiss her passionately

23. Tell her you love her

But only if you mean it.

24. Never, ever leave on bad terms

Of course, mishaps are going to happen, but don't let her go off thinking of terrible thoughts; always make a true effort to fix the problem there in person. If you can't, at least do a thoughtful follow-up later that day rather than letting things stew over the duration of several days.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
