Yes, you should go and say hi to your friends and meet new people, but never let your man feel abandoned. If he does feel like you left him in the dust, he’ll think you don’t care about him, and it’ll give him cause to worry about the state of your relationship. Guys are by nature territorial and protective, and as long as you’re in a relationship with him, you’re his gal and he wants you nearby.
10. Make Him Laugh
Every guy likes a girl who can make him laugh. But don’t feel as though you need to be a stand-up comic or Miss Personality to put a smile on his face. Sometimes, it’s enough just for you to laugh at his dumb jokes.
Guys want to see that you can relax, chill out, and have some fun. Showing you have a sense of humor demonstrates that you’re on the same page, you have chemistry, and your personalities are aligned.
At the end of the day, physical attraction only goes so far and laugher makes your guy feel calm, easy, and comfortable around you. It shows that he can be himself around you.
