“Girls have to be patient. Men are dumb, we're oblivious, we're not always in tune to a girl's feelings. It’s not because we don't want to be, we do want to be, we just need guidance. Tell me where to go and I'll take you there. I don’t need a girl to make it happen, I can do that. I just need some direction sometimes, and for her to tell me how she feels and what she wants, and I’ll do whatever I can to give it to her. I may screw up, and when I do I appreciate it when the girl doesn’t punish me for it and is understanding and takes those errors with a grain of salt. Winning a guy over really comes down to patience, understanding, and good communication.”
