Times have certainly changed and dating has changed with it. The days of the ‘man asking out a woman’ in person are far, far behind us. Now it seems people are hiding behind their computers or phones and do most of the actual ‘dating’ online. Whether it be through social media, email, text or a shallow dating phone app, we have changed the way we approach a potential partner…and not for the better.
The one thing that has not changed, in spite of the way in which we have impersonalized things, is LOVE. Love remains the same and what a woman needs to fall in love is also unchanged. The days of courting a woman are not over and the best kinds of love know and understand this. Women’s needs have not changed at all. There is a core list of the things women really want in a relationship and these have gone unchanged over many decades. Take note guys because regardless of whether or not your woman may communicate these to you, they are tried and true.
- Women need security. Not as in financial security but emotional security. A woman needs a man she can depend on…hands down, for no matter what comes up in life. This may be one of the most important things that a man can give the woman he loves.
- Women need truth and honesty. Somehow it always goes back to a man being dependable and constant in his love and devotion. Honesty is the foundation of a relationship. You can’t be IN one without it. Nothing will kill a relationship faster than breaking the sacred bond of your partner’s trust. A woman needs to know that the man that she chose loves her and respects her enough to tell her the truth, always.
- Kindness is crucial. We all want a soft place to land and a kind heart to depend on when the world gets tough. A little goes a long way to a woman. Kindness is always on a woman’s top 5 ‘non negotiables’ list for her perfect partner.
- Dependability. Do what you say you’re going to do. Your word is everything. Period.
- Leadership. God created man with the physical and hormonal attributes to lead. A woman relies on his guidance and leadership for everything in her life and vice versa. Men have a strength and assurance that gives a woman the confidence to make some of the tough decisions she needs to make. Be that rock she can lean on.
- Respect. This hits #1 for both men and women. If you don’t respect your partner than you can’t love them. Simple. Character, integrity…what you stand for. Your partner has to be able to look up to you as their most trusted confidant and best friend.
- Appreciation. Every woman needs to be told she is loved, adored and appreciated. She cannot hear this enough if it’s authentic. Appreciation feeds a woman’s energy in the relationship and will ensure she keeps doing more things to make you appreciate her even more. Tell her and show her every day.
- A hero/Protection. Yes, I said it. Every woman needs a hero. That man will stand up for her, for the relationship and for anything that the partnership believes in. Women have become quite the force these days in regards to their level of education and ability to support themselves financially with great jobs…but this does NOT mean that she doesn’t still need to be taken care of. A man’s strength next to a woman’s femininity is a perfect synchronization of energies.
- Companionship. Our partner should be our best friend. Not only the person we enjoy doing day to day things with but also our very best friend, who we can trust to tell anything to. Friendship is first, love next.
- Love. Unconditional love. It exists. We are all imperfect and a woman needs to know that her partner loves her regardless of her little perceived flaws and shortcomings. To know we are loved without condition, accepted without exception and respected regardless of being understood, is the purest form of love that exists.
