6 Ways to Brighten Up Her Day

Taking the extra effort to make your girlfriend happy is always worth it, especially when she has been feeling down. Understand your girl's personality and pay extra attention to what makes her tick so that you can come up with ways to have a smile plastered on her face.

It is a fact that if a woman is with the person she adores, her body releases various hormones that trigger an increase in appetite which does good for her mind and body. While each woman has unique needs, there are some sure-fire concrete things that you can do that'll have her over the moon.

Pay close attention

Women are significantly more expressive than men. So if she talks to you about her problems, give her your undivided attention. This is a win for both of you since you can help her figure out solutions to her problems while giving her an outlet for releasing her frustrations. When arguing, do not focus on trying to prove a point and be sensitive to the changes that she wants to make. Nod and provide feedback; it lets her know that you are listening.

Give her the chance to express her side without judging. It's a give and take scenario, and listening will make her more likely to return the favor.

Cook

Make dinner for your lady. If you don't know how to cook, it's never too late to learn. Sure, it's easier to just take her to a restaurant but nothing beats a home cooked meal sprinkled with love and care.

The meal doesn't have to be complicated. A simple spaghetti dish with herbs and spices would do the trick. Crack open some decent wine for good measure. Ask her what kind of dishes she likes and look up for recipes online. You might want to enroll for cooking classes if you feel like your cooking skills are a little but rusty. And then there's YouTube.

Bust her out of her comfort zone

When your girl is in a rut, it can help to get her to try new things. If she has been talking about a particular activity that she has always wanted to try, plan an excursion and do that new thing with her. Go camping or learn how to surf with her. Whatever it is, do it with her. This brings her out of her comfort zone and shows that you've been paying attention to her interests.

Be receptive to her interests

Support whatever activities your girlfriend is interested in. Listen carefully to topics she is enthusiastic in talking about. This will give you a clue of the sort of things that she likes. Give her presents relevant to her hobby; you can even join in if you want. You'll learn new skills and make your girlfriend happy since she has her man by her side to do these things with her.

Appreciate her relationships

Nurture your relationship with her friends and family. Invite them over for game night or think of activities that'll get them to mingle and socialize. This allows her to enjoy your company as well as of those that are closest to her. It is also a great way of letting her know that you value her happiness and are invested in your relationship.

Show humility

Own up to your mistakes whenever you are in the wrong. She knows that it is difficult for a man to admit his faults, so she will see it as a strong sign that you respect her and value your relationship. She will also appreciate you bearing the responsibilities for your actions, which ultimately leads her to feeling happier in your relationship.

Use these tips in combination as a jump off point to making your girlfriend happy. Every woman is unique, so you might need to tweak these suggestion depending on her personality. Good luck!
