While men may keep asking themselves the eternally puzzling question-what do women really want, there are several things that the fairer love unfairly assumes about men. While each man is different, here are some simple things you should know about your testosterone fuelled counterparts...

 

Some men like to talk about feelings albeit indirectly. Be innovative and ask him questions that might reveal how he feels for you. Ask him how he would surprise you with a romantic getaway.

 

There are some men who like to express their feelings of love through actions. Pay attention to the things he does around the house or just for you. Does he help without you telling him? Little things that make you smile are his way of expressing his feelings.

 

A recent survey said that the only reason men take longer to commit is because they want to be absolutely sure about their decision and not because they're scared to commit.

 

Women often complain that men don't listen when they talk. While this might be true in some cases, men usually prefer to listen quietly without giving the expected monosyllables like, 'Ok', 'Yes' or 'Fine'. Don't fret - he's probably processing everything you're saying and thinking about it silently.

 

Most men begin to get annoyed when a woman starts whining and clingy. Men enjoy spending time by themselves, too. So while spending time together doing activities that you both enjoy is fine, give him space to pursue his own hobbies as well.

 

Don't try to drop subtle hints to men-they don't get it. If you want to tell your guy something, say it directly.

 

Men think about love way more than women. Accept it. But remember that thinking and fantasising is not the same as doing. And several men find sexual intimacy more satisfying when they're in a a committed and loving relationship.

 

Men like it when you initiate love. They like being pursued. Experts say that most men wished their partner initiated love more often. Don't feel shy about taking the lead. He enjoys and wants that.

 

If you thought that men are always ready for lovemaking, think again. Just like women, men, too, sometimes are not in the mood for love. This could be for a variety of reasons - stress at work or home. Don't take it personally.

 

All guys get performance anxiety at some point or the other for different reasons. Help him relax and be supportive.
