The Straight Scoop: How To Get Him To Open Up
They say the best relationships are based on open, honest communication. That’s true. Now, if you could only get him to open up. While some men are much more communicative than others, most don’t tend to share their thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams as freely as women do. So what’s a girl starved for conversation to do? Try a better approach.
Choose when to approach
Men are more comfortable expressing themselves when they’re don’t feel like they’re being pressed to talk. If he’s enjoying himself, he might be relaxed enough to really open up. That could be after you’ve played a sport together, enjoyed a wonderful meal, made love, etc.
Be sensitive
Make sure to see what state of mind your partner is in. If he has just returned from a long day and needs to relax than it would probably not be the best time to press him to open up.
Provide a personal example
If you are able to talk about topics that are very personal to you, it will help your partner see that it’s not that bad and perhaps inspire him to act in a similar fashion. Share with him your private desires and fears and soon enough he is likely to share his with you.
Always look ahead
It’s important that you don’t keep bringing on past events when you talk about your own feelings. Talk more about how you’ve changed and how the past is behind you. Men love to move forward and don’t enjoy revisiting old topics that they thought were already behind you.
Don’t criticize his ideas
You don’t want to get your partner to shut down just because of a cynical remark. Be sensitive to what they are saying and let them fully express their ideas before responding. No matter what his ideas are – let them say it and feel comfortable doing so.
Be there to receive
Once your partner has opened up it is crucial to support that. In most cases is will be very discouraging for him if you get distracted. So make sure to tune off that Blackberry and be attentive and in the moment. Let him speak for himself and try not to jump in to complete his sentences.
