“He looked at me like that! Yes, he only thinks about one thing! I think he likes me." Agree, familiar phrases? Surely, each of us at least once in our lives mentioned such expressions in a conversation with friends. Sometimes we all think that all males are bad, and we speak different languages with them. But the fact is that guys’ psychology is completely different from girls’, and their thinking will never coincide with women’s logic. What to do and how to find a common language with our men? Let's try to figure it out.
Psychology of guys - how to understand them?
Let's start with the fact that we begin to think about relationships at the beginning of adolescence. And throughout this entire period, and it lasts from 14 to 22 years, views on life change under the pressure of circumstances and experience. All guys experience this age individually. But still, there are common characteristics that apply to everyone.
The psychology of young guys can be divided into several stages. They all depend on age and those needs that are leading at that moment and, undoubtedly, affect relationships with girls.
Psychology of boys at 14 years old.
This age is the most difficult to start any relationship. Guys' concept of love is confused with biological sexual feelings. And if we take into account that girls at this age have an emotional-romantic mood for relationships, then in most cases relationships end with the classic belief that “they only need one thing.”
Psychology of boys at 16-17 years old.
This period is wonderful because most of the young men have already decided on their feelings and worldviews. This is the time of pure and bright first love. A guy’s attachment to a girl at this age is very strong and any termination of the relationship on the girl’s initiative can become a serious mental trauma for the guy. But again, we should not forget about the second type of men who are still in search of their ideal. If you notice that your boyfriend communicates with your girlfriend with the same interest as with you, or constantly makes new acquaintances, you should think about whether you are dealing with a classic womanizer?
Psychology of guys aged 18-20.
This age is equally associated in both sexes with choosing a profession and determining one’s place in life. The personality of guys, as a rule, has already been formed, and they clearly imagine their future. Here you can meet several types of young people:
- The first type is interested in everything except girls. As a rule, these are either guys obsessed with their careers, cars or friends. If you meet this type, then know that he either hasn’t “worked up” yet, or, on the contrary, there have already been relationships in his life in which he got burned;
- the second type of guy, on the contrary, is too fixated on the weak field. Such people are very open in companies, have a lot of ambitions, and do not miss a single skirt. Moreover, such men are a huge success among girls. However, it is important to remember that the psychology of behavior of guys of this type is the presence of a bunch of complexes and a desire to assert themselves;
- The third type of guy is the subject of the famous female belief that “all good men are already taken.” These are independent people who take relationships seriously and respect their lover. The secret of the uniqueness of such guys is simple - a lot depends on the girl herself. What do you need to do to get a guy like this? Let's figure it out further.
Since we are talking about male logic, let's dispel all the myths lovingly created by the female mind. Guys will never think the way we imagine. If you want to understand your boyfriend, learn to think more simply. Coming up with different problems, panicking out of nowhere, drawing terrible pictures of betrayal in your head after a guy received a text message is a purely female prerogative. Men think differently. It doesn’t matter to them that in a cafe someone has the same sweater as him, they never worry about their hairstyle, manicure, dry facial skin and a thousand other small women’s problems. If you want the perfect guy next to you, remember a few simple rules:
The psychology of a guy in love is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. If they give you flowers and show signs of attention, then they certainly like you, and they will try to win you over. Exceptions here are extremely rare. If a young man is interested in you, he will do everything to keep you close. And your task is to make sure that his interest in you does not fade away. Don’t make scandals, trust him, let him know that he is needed and loved. And then your life will be filled with the happiness of harmonious and comfortable relationships.
Last time we talked to you about children's love, which comes to our babies before puberty. Today I propose to discuss teenage love, try to figure out what it is, how to respond correctly to your child’s feelings and help him cope with them.
Puberty is such a complex and mysterious stage of development in the lives of adolescents. At the age of 12-16 years, our children experience intense love, becoming more absent-minded, apathetic, their mood changes at the speed of sound, and their academic performance decreases. And it is parents who in this situation must take on the role of wise mentors to help their children get through this difficult time. After all, who knows in advance, what if your teenager met his fate?
You shouldn’t take the news of falling in love as a tragedy on a global scale and throw hysterics about it with wringing of hands, fainting and terrible thoughts in the style of: “Oh, it’s too early for him to fall in love, he should only have studies in his head.” Remember yourself at this age, your experiences, tossing, fear of confessing to your parents, horror at the thought that someone else besides you will find out about your feelings. Do you remember? And how did you feel? If you are lucky and your parents supported you, do the same with your child. And, if you were unlucky as a teenager, and adults just brushed you off, slapping you on the wrist and punishing you along the way (as was the case with me), you shouldn’t do the same. The opinion that “I coped and survived, and therefore you can too,” can be fatal for your child. Unfortunately, the thought of suicide due to unrequited love and misunderstanding with parents visits teenagers quite often, so they can simply brush it off and not pay attention. If you see that something is wrong with a child, try to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, frankly.
If a child falls in love, then it’s time.
You will have to come to terms with this - the child has grown up. He has grown so much that he is ready to love and accept love. And if you set boundaries: it’s too early for you or he (she) is not a match for you, you will lose the teenager’s trust. What to do, what to do? Let's turn to psychologists for help and see what they recommend.
1. To begin with, you should not elevate yourself above a teenager and put pressure on you with your parental authority - this will provoke a desire to act contrary to you.
2. Your child must understand that you are with him, that his problems are your problems, his experiences are your experiences and that you understand him perfectly.
3. You should not make fun of his feelings - they are too important for teenagers, and your ridicule can hurt him, alienating him from you.
4. Try to choose a calm form of communication so that there is no irritation or mutual aggression - children are already confused by the feelings that have arisen, and then their closest relatives and friends start scandals.
5. No one excludes the possibility that your child’s chosen one or chosen one does not entirely correspond to your parental plans - however, it’s not up to you to choose, in any case, in the most acute period of love, you certainly won’t do anything. You shouldn’t make fun of his sympathy by responding unflatteringly and derogatorily; it’s better to find kind, affectionate words - it’s easy to lose a child’s trust and hard to regain.
6. Super-caring parents will immediately try to give a lecture on the topic of early sexual activity, its dangers, diseases and consequences. Of course, sex education for teenagers is necessary, the main thing is not to overdo it and not provoke excessive interest in that very “forbidden fruit.”
7. To have a clear idea of the object of your child’s adoration, invite him to visit. What will this give you? You will get to know him personally and form your own, objective opinion about him. And it’s better to let them see you at home, in front of your eyes, than somewhere in the gateways. Just don’t “strangle” the young lovers with excessive care, give them a little freedom of action.
8. Choose a good moment and tell about your first love, your experiences, how and how it all ended, what experience you gained.
9. Do not prevent a teenager from making decisions on his own, to take a better look at his object of sympathy, even if he is disappointed in him - this will be his decision, not yours.
And how can you communicate with him, a lover?
A teenager in love does not fully understand what is happening to him: hormones are seething, his mood is up and down, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. Definitely, he needs your support: you are older, you are more experienced, after all, you have already been through this. And young Romeo and Juliet, who so want to be adults, are still on the path of gaining experience and your valuable advice, truthful answers to questions, openness and desire to help will be very helpful.
When a child is in love, he wants to be better, look more beautiful and neat. It's time to teach your offspring how to properly put things in a closet, how to take care of themselves, and a reminder about hygiene would be a good idea. You can go shopping together and pick up a few new things for your child, or beautiful accessories for a girl. In a word, take an active part in the transformation of the child. Your offspring will definitely not hear lectures about their deteriorating studies, but careful conversations on this topic are still worth having. Try to convey to him that quality education is an excellent start for the future and love in this matter is not a hindrance, but on the contrary, an excellent helper. Help plan your day so that you have enough time to do your homework.
Of course, it’s easy to give advice and you can write anything you want, but let’s talk honestly, parents. Answer me this question: Are you scared of your teenager falling in love? Why? What exactly is the source of anxiety? Fear that your child may experience unrequited love? What will suffer and do a bunch of stupid things in this state? Or do you personally not want to worry about this?
In any case, whatever your answers, remember that this is your child, but not property. And he grows, his problems and difficulties also take on a more adult character. Whether you like it or not, he is in love. And it is in your power to help him cope with this avalanche of emotions that are still incomprehensible, let the child feel that you are with him, you are nearby and will always help. Throw your fears and parental jealousy out of your head - they are not helping you. Our children deserve respect, they do not need prohibitions and boundaries, they need our support and love.
Romeo and Juliet - the other side of love.
Let's talk a little about bad habits. Above, I already cited as an example the advice of a psychologist that it is better to get to know the object of your child’s adoration in person. And if you notice that something is wrong with your chosen one, do not rush to immediately throw him out the door. It’s better to talk to your teenager later and try to find out in more detail who his chosen one is and from what family. The age of 14-16 years is a time of experimentation, when yesterday’s children try to imitate adults: they try smoking, get acquainted with alcohol, alas, but also with drugs. And here it is important not to miss the moment when a teenager turns from an interested person to an addict.
Sports, all kinds of interest groups, sections - this is the distraction that will help you protect your teenager from an early acquaintance with adult life. There is no point in scolding, punishing, and even more so beating. As I wrote above, this can provoke action “in spite of”. Conversations that are even better supported by relevant literature will be more effective.
Due to misunderstandings with my parents, I started smoking at the age of 13, and by the age of 15 I became acquainted with alcohol. All this was done in spite of parental prohibitions: don’t go, don’t play, stay at home and study your homework. It is a miracle that with such behavior I did not end up in bad company, but graduated from school decently and was able to enter a university and receive a higher education.
The first sexual experience is also acquired at this age: some learn to kiss, and some acquire a sexual partner. And here it is worth reminding you that conversations with your children about sex education should begin from early childhood, presenting information in accordance with the age of your child. A teenager who knows where and how children come from, what sex is and what the consequences can be is unlikely to want full intimacy at this age.
Let's summarize.
Love is, of course, always wonderful! This is a feeling that elevates a person, motivating him to take actions that were previously unusual for him. This is a set of emotions that cannot be described in one sentence, but without this feeling human life is not perfect. And when our children fall in love, we should not disturb them by creating an obstacle course on the way to the object of their affection. Help them, so young and inexperienced, teach them to respect their chosen ones, to appreciate, to be sensitive and attentive, and caring.
Remember, dear parents, that now you are helping your child learn to love, and how closely and sincerely you take part in his life depends on how he will build relationships with the opposite sex in adulthood.
A funny picture with statistics has been floating around the Internet for a long time: why do women fall in love? The percentages in it are distributed as follows: 61% cannot live without unnecessary problems, 13% fall for money, 11% did not listen to their mother, 9% love animals, 6% are simply fools. This is a joke, but, as always, with a grain of truth. Only these statistics do not take into account a woman’s age, depending on which her attitude towards men and love changes. We will try to understand the psychology of female love at different stages of life, but not as a joke, but seriously.
What you need to know
Forewarned is forearmed. Love at 17 years old in adolescence is often associated with negative factors, which later lead to problems with studies, parents, and friends.
No, this does not mean at all that at 17 years old it is “impossible”. This is exactly the right age for a first relationship.
Personality formation
A person's personality develops throughout life. Each period is associated with the action of its own social and biological factors that influence the formation of a person’s character and worldview.
According to E. Erikson, 11-20 years are the time of puberty, adolescence and adolescence. During this period, the teenager’s self-determination and plans for the future are formed.
Guys and girls decide the main question: who to be and what to do in life? They experiment and play different roles in society.
“First love is not the first and not the last. This is the love in which we most of all invested ourselves, our soul, when we still had a soul,” - A. V. Vampilov
However, we are interested in the following: during this period there is a clear sexual polarization, i.e. development of sexual self-determination and associated forms of social behavior.
E. Erikson also highlights the abnormal side of personality development at the age of 11-20, when a person cannot focus on his future and often looks into the past.
His worldview and beliefs are mixed up and become unconvincing for the individual himself. The problem of “self-digging” appears. There is a confusion of forms of sexual behavior in society.
What can influence the formation of personality:
The Path to Coming of Age
17 years is a transitional age when a guy or girl is preparing for adulthood. During this period, teenagers begin to ask questions that they had not even thought about before (What is life?
How to live correctly? How to become happy? What to do to achieve success in society? What does the future hold for me? What will my parents say about me at 20-25 years old?).
In general, a person understands himself and his desires, needs, responsibilities, hobbies, and beliefs.
From the age of 16, most boys and girls experience attraction to the opposite sex. They ask questions about the sexual characteristics of men and women, their physiology, and sex.
And yes, sex at 16-18 years old is normal.
The only thing you need to remember is the possible risks. at 17 years old will leave many memories to last a lifetime.
Whether they will be good or negative depends on the teenagers themselves and their psychological state. By this age, a person becomes mature enough to “taste” relationships for the first time.
Teenage love
Teenage love. Advice from a psychologist for teenagers and parents
It seems like just yesterday you watched with emotion as your daughter took her first timid steps, and today you caught her kissing some guy in the entrance. Not so long ago, wrappers were falling out of my son’s pockets, but now there is a love letter for a young lady there. Time flies quickly, and our children grow up even faster.
Teenage love. Story one: about lost trust
Yuri is a late and long-awaited child. All his life he swam in a sea of parental love and care. Yura was especially strongly attached to his mother: for him she was his closest friend. Everything changed when Yura fell in love for the first time. For the mother, who was accustomed to the fact that the thoughts and feelings of the child (and for her, a 14-year-old teenager, of course, still remained a child!) belonged to her and only to her, this was a shock. She decided to find out more about the girl for whom her son saves on breakfast to buy her a bouquet of roses, and with whom she spends the evenings. It turned out that Dasha comes from a dysfunctional family, and her parents are strong friends with alcohol. And one day Elena made a fatal mistake: seeing how diligently her son was getting ready for another date, she said with contempt: “And how did this worthlessness fool you? After all, she didn’t come out with her mind, face, or origin!” The son did not answer. He left, slamming the door loudly.
All night Elena stood at the window, flinching from every knock on the door at the entrance. But Yura came only in the morning. Ignoring his mother's questions, he silently went to his room and went to bed. Elena could not restrain herself and shouted after her son: “You got involved with rubbish, now you’re becoming like that yourself!”
From that day on, it was as if the son had been replaced: he began to be rude, often came home after midnight, and completely stopped talking to his mother.
The teenager’s aggressiveness did not come “out of nowhere” - Elena herself provoked her son into such behavior. Her tactless, offensive words caused a storm of protest in the guy, which he began to express in this way. Elena did not take into account that Yura is no longer the child to whom you can simply say “no” and put him in a corner. Previous methods of education are not suitable, because the son has matured and requires a different attitude towards himself.
And his first love, frivolous in his mother’s eyes, is the most important for him precisely because it is his first.
- Parents who do not accept their child in his new, and therefore incomprehensible state, essentially turn into persecutors. The teenager feels like a victim and defends himself as best he can. He rebels, withdraws, or withdraws into himself. He will remain silent, pointedly ignoring you. You will no longer be aware of his affairs, you will not be able to influence his actions - in a word, you will lose your authority. This should not be allowed under any circumstances, because respect lost in an instant cannot be restored as quickly. During this difficult period for a teenager, the most terrible thoughts can come into his head (from the decision to quit school to suicide attempts). In rare and scary cases, parents find out too late. Therefore, do not push away your child in love with careless words and ridicule. Support him, challenge him to a frank conversation. Finally, tell us about your first love. Such intimate conversations bring people closer together and become a stepping stone to complete mutual trust.
- It’s good if the boy’s “confidant” is the father. After all, men love and feel differently than women, so it is dad who will be able to understand his growing son like no one else. In addition, the boy will be able to ask his father what he is embarrassed to ask his mother about.
- Do not talk about the “object of love” in a disparaging and insulting way - by doing so you will humiliate your child by pointing out that he made the wrong choice. Remember: a teenager’s first love is ideal in his eyes! Be patient - over time, the first emotions will pass, and he himself will begin to distinguish black from white.
- If the child was frank with you, told about what worries him, in no case do not use these confessions against him later! It is enough just once in the heat of a quarrel to say: “We need to think about studying, and not kiss in the entrance!” or “It would be better to study physics, and not write poetry for some fidgety girl!” - and the child will not forgive you for this. Realizing that he shouldn’t have trusted you with his secret, he will withdraw into himself.
Teenage love. Story two: about a good girl and a “bad” boy
Alena is smart and beautiful, a promising pianist, and grew up in a prosperous, wealthy family. The parents raised their daughter in strictness; her day was scheduled literally minute by minute. Mom and dad were proud of their daughter: why, while others were “wandering along the street,” their girl was sitting at home and playing music. The parents had no doubt that a bright future awaited their daughter, until... until they saw their Alena in the company of half-drunk young people. She, beautiful and well-groomed, in an expensive fur coat, stood in an embrace with some unshaven guy of about twenty and laughed loudly. Her parents had never seen her like this.
In the evening a serious conversation took place. It turned out that Alena has been dating a guy for almost a year; he graduated from school a long time ago and is not studying anywhere. And, worst of all, he managed to serve time for theft - “out of stupidity,” as Alena put it. In response to her father’s categorical ban on even getting close to this guy, Alena gave an ultimatum: either she continues to meet with him, or she leaves home. The parents loved their daughter very much, and for her own good they decided to change their place of residence, moving away from the “criminal”. A year later, Alena “safely” forgot her lover, but at school she “slipped” into C grades, and she no longer made any progress in music.
In this situation, the parents achieved their goal: they “saved” their daughter, but the spark that was previously in the perky excellent student went out.
- Good girls, unfortunately, are very often drawn to “bad” boys. "The Law of the Genre"! But no matter how undesirable the relationship may be, in your opinion, you should not prohibit it. In most cases, this leads to the opposite result - because what is prohibited begins to captivate you even more. A teenager who is prohibited from meeting desired dates will begin to deceive, dodge, and come up with “libraries” and “electives” in order to get a date. Having become mired in lies, he will distance himself even more from you, and you, seeing what tricks your child goes to in an effort to deceive you, will completely stop trusting him. This is how “gaps” are formed between parents and children.
- Parents—that’s why they are parents—to warn their child, to warn about a possible mistake, to point out the possible consequences. But in no case should you put pressure, you need to give your son or daughter the opportunity to act independently, to make their own choice. Let the child figure out the object of his feelings for himself, and if disappointment befalls him, let it come not from you, but from himself. Perhaps sooner or later he will realize that he made a mistake. But it’s from them that we learn!
- Invite your son or daughter’s “object of affection” to visit, get to know each other - this will allow you to get an objective, more believable, and not unfounded, idea about this person. Better yet, get over yourself and allow “Romeo and Juliet” to meet at your home, so that they don’t have to look for random and dubious places for dates.
Anastasia—that’s what her parents called the girl—was always an independent child. Already at two years old she could dress herself without outside help, at five years old she remained at home alone, and at ten she could cook soup. She never threw tantrums like other children, didn’t hang around her father’s neck when he came home from work, didn’t share her girlish secrets with her mother... A very “convenient” child for parents who are busy with anything but him.
No one, not even Anastasia herself, suspected how much she needed love, care, touch, how much she wanted to be Nastenka! But one day the girl met Ruslan - a handsome guy, the dream of all girls. He called her Nastyusha, hugged her affectionately, kissed her tenderly - exactly until he achieved what all handsome guys want from girls. After that she became Anastasia again. The girl was worried, she even tried to cut her wrists, but nothing changed, except that there was a commotion at school.
Soon Anastasia met another boy. And again for a short time she became Nastenka...
- An atmosphere of love is important and necessary for a child of any age, just like water and food! Coldness and lack of tenderness between parents and children is the perfect “soil” for a child to one day lose his head, feeling even a little bit of someone else’s attention and love. By the way, it is precisely those young men and women who are “disliked” by their mother and father who are prone to leaving their families and getting married early. Even when they are still teenagers, they are ready to connect their lives with anyone, as long as this person is more sympathetic...
- Most of all, teenagers would like to see friends and advisers in their parents. With all their desire for independence, they are in dire need of life experience and the help of elders. The family remains an “island” on which the teenager feels calm and confident. It is the presence of such a “rear” that allows him to gain experience, responsibility and self-confidence.
And to make it easier for you to understand your child in love, just remember that you, too, were once in love for the first time!
Good luck to you, wise, patient and selfless parents of teenagers!

How to understand that this is love at 17 years old
Even at the age of 17, true love can arise. However, this is rare, and teenagers often confuse this feeling with falling in love or passion.
If passion is a drug, then love is healing and creation. This is how these two feelings differ. Falling in love is also not love.
This is mania, sympathy for a member of the opposite sex. A teenager wants to spend time together and comfortably, without feeling any responsibilities or problems.
When there is love between teenagers, everything becomes different: people are not only attracted to each other because of their positive qualities.
The guy and the girl also don’t pay attention to each other’s shortcomings, sometimes finding advantages in them. They don’t try to fix anything in themselves, and that’s not necessary.
Here are specific signs of love that are relevant not only for teenagers, but also for other age categories:
- Excitement at the sight of your crush.
- Embarrassing facial flushing.
- Conversations with loved ones often lead to discussions of your first love.
- I want to communicate a lot with my other half.
- You are drawn to him/her, and it is unclear how and why this happens.
- There is a desire to give everything you have. And we are talking about spiritual values.
Signs of a teenager falling in love
Any relationship begins with a feeling of falling in love. 17-year-olds are no exception.
There are several signs by which you can guess that a guy or girl has a crush:
The teenager returns home later than usual | He begins to spend his free time not on the computer or books, but on “walking with friends” |
Long telephone conversations are becoming commonplace | A teenager may be on the phone for 30 minutes or even several hours at a time, chatting about anything. |
The guy or girl starts following | and with his appearance with greater diligence |
Contraceptives appear | — |
Constant changes in a teenager's mood | Either he is happy (after a successful date) or he is depressed, crying, walking around with a sad face (unrequited love) |
There are also differences in behavior between boys and girls.
Teenage love
Many parents, having heard from their child about falling in love, refuse to believe it and take it for granted. And then they begin to prove to the child that he is still very young for serious feelings. And that this is not love at all, and at the same time they do not listen to what he says in response, and this is perhaps the worst thing they can do for their child. Or worse, it's making fun of the teenager's feelings. The consequences of this can be the saddest, although the fact that the relationship between fathers and children will deteriorate is not the worst option. Sometimes rejected children attempt suicide, especially if their first love is unrequited.
Another reason for disagreement is the child’s chosen one. It has already happened that parents very rarely like the choice of children. And only wise parents keep criticism towards their chosen one to themselves. But more often, when they are on an emotional turmoil, parents express everything they think about this to their children. As a result, a tense psychological situation arises between all family members. Although very often, all the worries of parents are completely justified. Today's social circle of teenagers is quite large, and it does not always contain only positive heroes.
According to family psychologists, adolescence is the most difficult for both parents and children themselves. Because at this age teenage negativism begins to actively manifest itself. It manifests itself like this: the teenager begins to refute all the words of adults, and not only in theory, but also in practice. If your parents say that smoking is harmful, then you should try it.
There are several prohibitions for parents, which are not recommended to be violated:
- Don't rummage through children's things. The child will perceive such behavior as distrust of him.
- The same applies to computers and mobile phones. If you violate these prohibitions, the child will withdraw into himself, and it will be very difficult to establish contact with him.
Attentive parents will be able to find out that your child has fallen in love by certain signs, because children usually find it difficult to hide their emotions. These signs include:
Of course, all these signs of teenage love can be called conditional, as almost every teenager has them. The best thing to do is to openly ask the child about his feelings.
For parents whose teenagers have fallen in love for the first time, it is very difficult not to lose the thread of trust. Therefore, MirSovetov advises adhering to certain general rules:
Be that as it may, any parent will someday face such a problem as their child falling in love. And we must accept that the child is already an adult. And he, just like you, has the right to make mistakes and make his own choices. Support him. And your attitude will return a hundredfold.
How to confess your love to a girl who is not yet ready for love (expectation and curiosity)
You should not immediately attack with a declaration of love, it is better to show tenderness and sociability. Talk to her as friends, find out what interests her and what she strives for in life. Try to show friendliness and knowledge of the topic that interests her most, even if you find it boring and uninteresting. Your communication should become regular and friendly, and she should trust you. At this stage, you should not show your interest in her, as this may scare her or she may use your crush as an object of curiosity. To prevent this from happening, you need to prepare her for your declaration of love. Here's what will help you with this.
1. Sociability and awareness of what worries her. Only the interest must be sincere. Often girls 15 years old are interested in photography, so if you are a professional or aspiring photographer, you can interest her. Also, girls at this stage love to gossip and learn something new about love, about interesting incidents from life or about the unknown. If you master the topic and know more about it than she does, interest in you may arise, friendly communication may begin, and then a declaration of love is not far away.
2. Find out what type of guys she likes. This is evident from conversations, from discussions of mutual acquaintances, as well as from her ideals of beauty. If you accurately guess her type and adapt to it, then the success of your declaration of love will be obvious. But there’s no point in asking about this, since she herself doesn’t yet know who she needs.
***
3. Unobtrusively start showing her signs of attention. Bring a nice gift for her birthday, a bouquet of her favorite flowers, and also try to be next to her at dances, especially slow ones. Your touches should be unobtrusive and seemingly random. This can awaken her sensuality and pleasant attitude towards you, preparing her for a declaration of love.
4. And then the day of recognition came. If she is not quite ready for him yet, then it is important to say not “Nastya, I love you,” but something like this: “I don’t know yet what I feel, but it seems to me that this is love.” And give her the gift of her dreams, because during this time you already know quite well what she needs. You can give a fashionista a set of cosmetics in a stylish clutch or sunglasses that will look very beautiful on her. You can give a dreamer a large bear with balloons of her favorite color, and if you decide to confess your love on New Year’s Day or a few days after it, then a beautiful New Year’s souvenir with a flashlight or music box will be very useful. It will become a symbol of your love and devotion.
