My Turn

I've been reading a certain blog lately that has given me insight into the male mind.

I've decided to return the favor.

Which brings the title of this entry (or the subject at least) to...

THINGS I WISH GUYS KNEW: (feel free to add to this list)

1. We REALLLLLY wish you were confident, but not cocky. And believe me, there is a difference. Be confident in who you are. If you like yourself and are confident in the man that God created you to be, there's a high chance we'll like you as well. Being cocky on the other hand is just plain annoying. No one wants to hear about how many girls you've been flirting with or even the snide comment of "Oh yea, she's totally into me." The second that sentence leaves a guy's mouth, he's lost me.

2. It doesn't matter how many promises you make if your actions don't back it up. (see my "lying" entry). For real. At least be a man of your word.

3. Don't ever talk about another girl's body around us. It doesn't matter if you're saying she's hot, fat, ugly, whatever. Just don't do it.

4. It is always better for you to make the first move. I really don't feel like an explanation is needed here. But for goodness sakes, don't make her wait till she's blue in the face.

5. Don't draw out our hearts. If you seriously have no intention of dating us, getting to know us better, whatever, please hold the flirtation. Oh and the texts asking if we want to study with you. Oh and those really long facebook chats. Those too. Because as much as you deny that you're oblivious to knowing if girls like you, you CAN tell if we're into you. So don't keep it going just to feed your ego.

6. Very few of us will ever understand your obsession with video games or your emotional attachment to sports' teams. But if you like it, and we like you, I guarantee you we'll try to like it as well.

7. We WILL overanalyze things, whether we admit it or not. The bottom line is, we just think about things a lot more than you do. Sometimes it's a good thing. And sometimes it's really not.

That's all I got so far.

Girls, anything you want guys to consider?

Guys, thoughts? complaints?
