Recently, while chatting with a few friends about some small details in relationships, I noticed that many men often feel at a loss when a woman says, "Things are moving too fast" or "I have a stomachache." In fact, these seemingly simple issues are great opportunities to showcase your emotional intelligence and thoughtfulness. Today, I want to share some of my own insights and techniques, hoping they can help you.
First, when a woman says, "We're moving too fast," many men's first reaction might be, "Oh no, does she not like me anymore?" Actually, this doesn't necessarily mean rejection. Often, when a woman says this, it's because she needs some time to adjust to the relationship or she wants you to provide her with more security. So, what would a high EQ man do in this situation?
I remember a time when my friend Xiao A"s girlfriend told him, "Are we moving too fast?" Xiao A didn't panic; instead, he gently responded, "It's okay, we can take it slow. What's important is how we feel together." This response not only expressed his value for the relationship but also gave her a sense of security. Later, their relationship became even more stable.
So, when a woman says, "We're moving too fast," you might try responding like this: "I understand how you feel. We can go at your pace. What's important is how we feel together." This respects her feelings and lets her feel your thoughtfulness and inclusiveness.
Now, let's talk about how to respond when a woman says, "I have a stomachache." Many men might directly say, "Drink more hot water." While this advice isn't wrong, it can come off as a bit dismissive. In fact, when a woman says she has a stomachache, she often hopes for your care and companionship.
Once, when my girlfriend had a stomachache, I ordered her a hot porridge delivery and sent her a message: "Baby, it hurts me to see you not feeling well. I've ordered you some hot porridge; it should make you feel better." She later told me that moment made her feel really warm and that I was very considerate.
So, when a woman says she has a stomachache, you might try responding like this: "Baby, it must be really uncomfortable. I'll order you some hot soup; it should help." Or "Poor thing, it's so sad to see you not feeling well. When you're better, I'll take you out for something nice to make up for it." This not only shows your concern but also lets her feel your proactive care.
Of course, humor is also a great approach. For example, you could say, "Oh dear, is your little tummy throwing a tantrum? Tell it, with me here, it's not allowed to bully you." This kind of humorous teasing can lighten the mood and let her feel your concern.
Lastly, what I want to say is, whether it"s "Things are moving too fast" or "I have a stomachache," the most important thing is to genuinely feel her emotions and express your concern through actions. The small details in a relationship often determine the depth of your connection. I hope these tips can help you navigate your relationships more smoothly.
