Something You Need To Understand About Guys...

The Thing You Need To Know About Guys 

Here's the thing about guys that girls need to understand. We're humans, and if you hurt our feelings, it still stings. But we don't like to talk. Not about us, not about you, especially not about our relationship.

So if you do something to upset us, you might get a little something out of us, but that's about it. We're not going to admit that you hurt our feelings. And if we do feel like telling you, it might come out in some caveman language and sound like, "F*#& S&*% B*&#%!" Yeah...something civilized like that.

That's the thing about us guys. We don't like to express ourselves, and when we do, it's usually in an unsophisticated manner. Just keep that in mind when you try to get us to "talk about our feelings" or "discuss our emotions" about what went down. If you want us to listen to you and ultimately forgive you, then it's going to be a tough, uphill battle.

But don't worry, that's where I'm going to help you out. There are certain ways to get your boyfriend to open up and get on speaking terms again. You have to start thinking like a guy, and that's where my experience comes in handy. So keep reading and learn the best way to say sorry to your boyfriend and get him to forgive you.

Resource: The Magic Of Making Up 

The strategies here are proven to win the heart of your boyfriend back!

Before I start discussing how to say sorry to your boyfriend, I want to point out a great resource for you. It's called The Magic Of Making Up.

The Magic Of Making Up is by Travis "T DUB" Jackson, and is full of strategies to win the heart of your significant other back.

This is perfect for this situation, because it covers how to "reconnect" with your boyfriend and get his trust back.

It doesn't matter if you cheated on him or just said something to insult him, T Dub's methods will help you win back your boyfriend no matter what the situation is.

Maybe you said something you wish you hadn't. T Dub's "Clean Slate Method" can help you turn back the clock and take back what you said.

Or maybe you cheated on your boyfriend and he won't forgive you. The Magic Of Making Up will teach you how to use the "clean slate" technique in conjunction with one other secret technique and win your boyfriend's forgiveness in the shortest amount of time. (there's even a Special Bonus Included)

And ladies, if you follow T Dub's advice in Chapter 6 of The Magic Of Making Up, your boyfriend will NOT be able to get you out of his mind - (It's just the way men are wired.)- He will start CALLING YOU again and you will be shocked at the complete transformation he makes!

These are just a few methods that The Magic Of Making Up covers. It is a great resource, and if you think that any of the methods above can help you get back on your boyfriend's good side, you should check it out. Click here to check out The Magic Of Making Up.

Find The Right Time To Talk

Find The Right Time To Talk 

Don't invade his personal time!

There is a right time and a wrong time to "talk" to your boyfriend. Don't try and get his attention when he's watching TV, working on his car, or just enjoying his own space.

We appreciate respect for our personal space, and if we're doing something (even though it may look like absolutely nothing), we're BUSY.

So don't even try and talk to us during this time. If you do, do so at your own risk!

If you want to talk to your boyfriend, you have to create the right environment to do so.

The first thing you need to do is get him open to discussion. You can do this by "bribing" him...

Bribe Your Boyfriend

Bribe Your Boyfriend 

If you're on your boyfriend's bad side, you might have to "buy" his attention by bribing him. I don't mean bribe in the traditional sense of the word, but you might have to do something to get on his good side.

And you don't have to do much. As macho as we are, if you put some of our favorite chocolate chip cookies in front of us, we'll let our guard down. We might even forget why were were mad.

Given that, it's pretty simple to bribe us for some time. Think about what your boyfriend likes. Does he like certain foods? What's his favorite sport? Brainstorm some of his favorite things. Wouldn't it make sense to do something for him that he likes if you want to get on his good side?

Then use these to get on his good side. If he likes chocolate chip cookies, bake some for him. If he likes baseball, buy some tickets to the next game. Doing something that appeals to him will definitely get you his attention.

That will open the door to discussion and getting to the bottom of the issue.

Discuss What Happened

Discuss What Happened 

Now that you have your boyfriend's attention, it's time to get down to business. As much as guys won't admit it, we want to hear what you have to say because our feelings were genuinely hurt or something really bothered us. But most of all, it's because our TRUST was taken advantage of.

But there are some things you need to keep in mind. Guys don't like fluffy talk, or sugar coated statements. Just tell us what you want to say and get to the point. Any unnecessary words will just annoy the heck out of us.

Tell your side of the story, and acknowledge what you did. But be sure to show vulnerability. If your boyfriend doesn't detect any sincerity or honesty in whatever you're saying, nothing else you have to say will matter. It will just be falling on deaf ears.

Use logic, not emotion, when you talk. Guys are very logical creatures, and there has to be a reason why something happened. Tell us you did "A" because of "B" and make sure it flows. If we don't get an answer that makes sense, it will just make us angrier and more frustrated with you. We don't want to hear lame excuses why you hugged another guy at the bar. We just want to know that you're sorry and that it won't happen again.

A good discussion should end with the both of you being on the same page. And one of the easiest ways is to listen to his side of the story. Keep reading to find out why...

Listen To Your Boyfriend's Side Of The Story

Listen To Your Boyfriend's Side of The Story 

After you have said what you had to say, you should let your boyfriend talk. At this point, if he feels you are genuinely sorry for what happened, he might be open to telling you his side of the story. b>!

And listen to what he is telling you. This is a learning experience, so take mental notes on what he says. Observe what really got him mad so that you don't do the same thing in the future. But you also have to look at the other side of the coin. If he is being overly sensitive about the whole situation, then you might actually have a GIRLFRIEND, not a boyfriend.

By the end of all this, you and your boyfriend either should have 1) Made up or 2) Still be fighting.

If you're still fighting, then you need to revisit the "discussion" section because something was obviously missing in the communication process. Remember, each of you has to show honesty and sincerity in everything you say. No time for stubbornness here. Deep down, you both know what needs to be said or done so just do it.

And if that doesn't work, you might need some additional strategies to get you through this.

I have put together some great books and information that will be helpful for you to say sorry to your boyfriend and get back to good times.
