HOW TO GET YOUR MAN TO OPEN UP TO YOU

Women want nothing more than to have an emotionally intimate relationship with the man they love. Men don’t always do emotions well, and may discourage their partner from trying to connect at deeper levels by their responses.

These tips may help you get to what you’re looking for:

1. Understand that he may never express his feelings like you and let that be OK. Don’t attempt to control his expression of emotions.

2. Start noticing what he likes to talk about the most and try to start your conversations there. Use that conversation to get to his heart. Remember, it’s all about attentiveness and listening. No suggestions, no answers, and draw no conclusions, just pay attention to him.

3. Create the environment that you know opens him up to you. One of the mistakes couples make is that they do things that they like, but it may not necessarily work for their partner. So if candles and bubble baths are not his thing, don’t use them.

4. Learn to look at him as though your life depends on him. Let him catch you staring at him often. Men love that.

5. Hug him from behind often. A hug from the front tells him that he needs to protect you, care for you and hold on to you, but hugging him from behind reaches his heart. It tells him that you’re holding on tight to who you believe he is and where you believe he’s going.
