Relationships are meant to be an awesome mix of fun and fuzzy feelings – but if you’re doing it right it also means being there for her.

Sure, being somebody’s boyfriend involves making each other laugh, trying new things together, making one another feel special, making out, meeting the parents, and silly traditions like prom or Valentine’s Day. But sometimes most importantly it means emotional support. So how can you be there for her when she’s overwhelmed with feelings?  Try these three things:

Figuring out whether or not a girl is attracted to you sometimes feels like the most frustrating puzzle encountered by man. You may have already mastered flirting with her, asking her out, and picking her up to go out, but sometimes the entire time we’re with a girl we’re lost as to whether or not she wants us back.

While it isn’t the ultimate yes or no test, a quick way to help you measure how much she might like you back is to engage in just a little bit of casual contact. We’ve given you hints about initiating this on your own before. But letting it happen and paying attention to how long it happens might also help you figure out if she’s interested. Read on »

Doesn’t it suck when someone nags you as soon as they see you?

You walk in your front door, “did you take out the trash yet?”
Your parents get home from work, “did you finish your homework?”
Just trying to get to the bathroom at school, “why aren’t you in class?”

You couldn’t even get a “Hi, how are ya” first? C’mon! It can be difficult to always remember, but keeping this in mind, don’t ever let yourself nag your way into greeting a girl you care about.

What’s up with your hair?
How come you didn’t text?
What took you so long?

These aren’t exactly the things she wants to hear the moment she sees you.

Every man who has been involved with a woman has at one point (if not many) made this mistake. But you don’t have to. That’s what H.U.S.H. is here for.

No matter how many fantastic dates you’ve taken her on, no matter how many amazing surprises you’ve given her, heck even if you craft her a letter spilling your guts to her twice weekly, you slip up like this and in that moment you are just being the crappiest of boyfriends. You’ve been warned. Don’t do it.

It can be hard to always remember, especially when sometimes you’re just feeling like a Negative Nancy, but you want to be the one that brings her joy. If you’re gong to be the boyfriend she never stops bragging about try (it may not be possible but you’re welcome to try) to light up just a little every time she walks into a room. Even if you’ve got a bone to pick, you can get to his momentarily.

Avoid being another nagging voice that pees on her parade as soon as it starts. Being a little beacon of happiness will earn you the title of Boyfriend of the Century. It’s the little things.
