How to Win a Girl’s Heart Through Courtship?

Courtship
noun: an act of showing your feelings towards a person through sweet gestures 

    Girls are not just about sweet talks, chocolates, flowers, and/or jewelries; they are more than material things. Winning their hearts is not just through material things, although they are appreciated, but it is not always material things that matters especially if your goal is to express your real feelings for girls.

Here are some tips to properly court a girl you love: 

Tip 1: Listen. Girls are different from each other. Maybe your moves or “galawan” before will not work with this girl now. Listening to them would help you understand their story more than just the shallow surface of their whole self. It would help you come up with ideas on how to make her comfortable and safe with your company. In short it is the best way to be her friend and in the future her partner.

Tip 2: Fill everything that she lacks. This is not always doing the first move in everything. This is actually about compromising with what she has and what you have to make whatever it is between you two work. This is about filling in her weaknesses with your strength. For instance if the girl you like is not that confident during the first date then make a move and start a conversation with her in this way you will get to know her more and will help you make the second date better than the first.

Tip 3: Win her trust and never lose it. Winning a girl’s trust is never easy especially if that girl you like or love has trust issues. Her trust is actually way more important than her love, she could love someone but not trust them but she could not trust someone without loving them. Trust is actually the foundation of any relationship together with friendship. Acting like a jerk will not make you a man, treating her right will do. The thing is, at the very first place, it was your intention to express your love not to toy her so please never ever play with a girl because you are not just ruining your reputation but her future relationships as well.

Handling Introverts Like a Pro

Introverts
noun
: individuals who do not have the same feels like you; a reserved person who finds strength from being alone. 
      Introverts are not easy to handle, handling them requires a great amount of patience and understanding but guess what, they are one of the best individuals you would ever encounter. (Just make sure not to be annoyingly talkative.)

Here are some steps you could use in handling introverts like a pro from an introvert herself:
Step 1: Don’t (please I am begging you not to) invade their personal space. Introverts love their personal space, people who love invading their personal space makes them uncomfortable. They are allergic to socializing. Unlike you they need a day or two to actually prepare before an event. Socializing drains them.

Step 2: Stop talking about yourself. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU. Imagine someone invading your space talking about himself and you have no choice but to stay there and pretend like you are very much interested but it is draining you, this my friend is what we feel every time.

Step 3: Understand that the introverts’ source of strength is being alone. STOP FORCING THEM TO SOCIALIZE PLEASE. Socializing is not really a must and is not supposed to be required because people have different ways of learning and doing things. Introverts are very much tired of this stigma because it is not healthy for them to be forced every time because they are seen as not normal.

Step 4: Make them feel comfortable but never ever push yourself to them. This is not because they hate you or maybe they do but technically they just love being alone but not lonely. Besides, if ever they feel or they like your presence they will be like cats all over you.

Step 5: Respect and understand their hibernation time. Introverts need to recharge and the only way to do so is to spend some time alone. Respect this and they would really appreciate it.
