5 Tips on Making Up with My Boyfriend

This advice was offered by a friend of mine - Not that I necessarily agree with all of her comments…but I believe that she may have a few valid points. Hopefully some of the information will be of help to you.



When making up with my boyfriend I tried to remember these tips that my older and wiser friend had given me. My ex and I got back together so I hope they work for you too.



1) Men don't like chit chat: Generally speaking men don’t like to talk in depth about their feelings and forcing the issue will just cause them to clam up even more. So when you are trying to get back together don’t force him to analyze what went wrong. If he behaved badly but is willing to apologize, accept it and move on.



2) Men can only concentrate on one thing at a time. This is really true so don’t try and fight it. Very few men can multi-task. Their genetics are to blame for this so shouting at him is pointless. The sooner you accept that your man cannot listen to you while reading his newspaper or watching TV the better. Most of the time, he is not ignoring you on purpose. The more you try to understand that this is the way he is programmed the fewer number of arguments you will have.



3) Men like toys. The joke is that men never grow up and show it by still playing with toys. Most men love to build things and start DIY jobs. Not all of them like to finish these jobs which can cause problems at home. Let your man indulge his hobbies, within reason. You can spend time with your girlfriends while he is fishing or building a boat. By compromising like this, he will probably be much more willing to spend time with you doing things together that you both enjoy.



4) Don’t assume that your man knows that you want to make up with him. Men in general tend to be a bit slow in picking up signals especially about relationships. For this reason, you sometimes need to be very direct and tell them exactly how you feel. Men don't like games unless they understand the rules like in golf or chess. Women, well we have a tendency to change the rules on dating more often than men change their shirts so we need to give them a break if they get a little confused.

5) Have you heard the joke - "Why does it take loads of sperm to fertilize one egg…because they refuse to stop for directions!" I know the men in my life would prefer to get lost, than admit defeat and stop to ask for directions. Generally men find it very hard to admit they are wrong. If you question what they say, they typically believe you are implying they have done something wrong. This can cause problems in modern relationships as women are so used to being the boss at work and giving others directions.

I am not suggesting that women have to become door mats or defer to their partners. But a little understanding of genetics and male species goes a long way to help resolve the question of making up with my boyfriend.
