The Facts By nature, men will always find their way back to their companions…their homies, their friends. Growing up, we’ve always sought after belonging to a group of friends or crew that we can be ourselves with, and we’ve somehow carried that into our adulthood. It’s part of who we are, and it’s something that is not changing anytime soon. Now, once a guy is comfortable with chilling with you his lady, or at ease with sharing his feelings, rest assured that he’s not going anywhere. Naturally, it’s hard for men to open up to people, especially members of the opposite sex. Unless he’s in a beer parlour; that’s the easiest place for him to be expressive with his friends. Alcohol aside, the fact that he knows that his friends get how he feels, and are able to relate with him are what matters. He can confide in them with no judgement, no unsolicited advice and no criticism.

My Advice for Women

The Number 1 rule for ladies on this subject is to get their men to feel comfortable with them. Become his homie, almost like one of his guys. That way, the relationship becomes more enjoyable for him with a better chance of a long-lasting future ahead. Find out what he likes and engage with him on these things. For instance, if he enjoys football, learn more about his favourite football team and be open to watching matches with him during competition season.

A lot of women think the way to a man’s heart is through sex or food, but I disagree. Just be his very good friend, it’s that simple and straightforward.
