Alright, I have to admit I am not the most experienced boyfriend, but I know what personally makes a guy feel like you are really there with them, and hopefully what many other guys agree with.

10. Introduce him to your friends as your boyfriend.
This is a simple one, whether they show it or not, every guy has some pride in being your boyfriend, and they want people to know it.

9. Hug him any time you seem him.
Another fairly simple idea. Nothing feels as good as when your girlfriend snuggles next to you. It makes a guy's day better, and the more chances you have, the better. Its a plus if we don't see it coming.

8. Leave time in your schedule.
Believe it or not, guys like to be with you. Otherwise we wouldn't be dating you. Obviously, schedules can be hectic, and your friends are also very important, but it is a good thing to keep us in your schedule at least once a week. Even something as simple as a dinner date can keep us going for a while.

7. Flirt in Public
Flirting seems like a girlie thing, but guys enjoy it just as much. They love to joke with you, so don't take your relationship too seriously to joke back sometimes.

6. "Fighting"
I guess this is comparable to #7, but honestly one of the best things guys like is a girl who is willing to joke around. "Fighting" can vary from squeezing their hand, playfully stepping on their foot, or flicking them lightly. It is one of the funniest things to guys.

5. Kiss them
This is pretty self explanatory. If a guy puts their face anywhere near yours, they are probably looking for a peck on the lips. This include, but is not limited to, forehead to forehead, kissing your cheek, or resting their head on yours. Obviously, you wont catch it every time, but if you kiss a guy at the perfect time it is sure to brighten their life.

4. Stand near him
This one is actually fairly important. Call us territorial, but every guy likes to have their girlfriend next to them whenever they are within reach. If a guy says something jokingly, that you don't particularly like, don't walk away. Joking or not, it actually hurts a little when you leave us from something we say. Also, if you are going to talk to your friends, pull him by his hand... he will follow.

3. Have Fun
Remember that guys only like romance for so long at a time. Most girls will claim its because we have a short attention span, but it is actually so much more than that. We are smart. We figure that if romance is all a relationship is built on, when the first magic dies off, the entire relationship will crumble. Thats why you should always try to have fun during a usually romantic moment. It makes the relationship rely less on "love at first sight" and also makes it more fun for everyone.

2. At least attempt to like his friends.
This is critical for any girl. First of all, I would like to warn you that guys are always going to have friends you like and friends you don't like. Probably more friends you don't like. Still, you really need to at least attempt to get along with them... because guys don't gain friends and lose friends often. We are extremely loyal, and you don't want to show your bad side to the only people we trust (besides you).

1. Tell him your problems.
Most important thing in the world. Guys want to help you, they want to know your problems. Don't tell us, "you don't need to know", because we do. We want to help you, and most of all, we want to know we are trusted. Because where is a relationship without trust? Always tell us if you have issues. It will not only make us happy, but you will find we are surprisingly helpful.
