How To Tickle Him If He Ticks You Off

Had a big fight with Mr. I-Think-He's-The-One recently? Or worse… maybe you broke up with him lately? Or maybe you’ve recently listened to one of your girlfriends whose relationship just bit the dust?
Well, we can easily say that these things happen all the time. We keep saying “heartwarming” things like “It happens to everybody” or “You couldn’t have done anything to prevent what was coming,” hardly giving a second thought about how badly it would sting if those things were said to us.
Are angry breakups really that inevitable? Well, I think not. Here are some tricks on how to tickle him if he ticks you off.
1. Read His Mind
Let’s face it – men aren't romantic. They don't believe the love stories where everything simply grows into what you want it to be. Sometimes you just have to go direct to the point – try to be clear and concise about what you want. But don't ever forget about “timing” – there’s a right and wrong time to voice out your thoughts.
This is a universal thing – it’s not advice for only one person. It’s also something that would undoubtedly make some women feel vulnerable. Still, remember that all relationships have measures of risk into them, and you can’t generate any profit if it doesn’t involve any risk.
In the end, if you can read his mind, you can give him what he needs even if he doesn’t ask for it – and he’ll be pleasantly surprised. And pleasantly surprised men will tend to be interested in keeping the relationship alive.
2. It’s not all about you – he expects things from your relationship too
All people are the same deep inside. We are little babies who need to be satisfied. If we don't get satisfied, we get unhappy or disappointed. And when we are unhappy, petty problems get magnified. In the end, you lash out at him, letting loose all your rants and heartaches.
Ever thought these things go both ways?
Sometimes, we fail to recognize that our own disappointments are of our own makings. Sometimes, you expect too many good things to blossom from the relationship and tend to forget about him – his dreams, his wants, his needs, his expectations, how he feels, or how he sees things are just as important in a healthy relationship as your own.
Keep this in mind, and keep your relationship under control.
3. Don’t make the “Big Mistake”
Men can be the most insensitive and shortsighted creatures to ever walk the earth. They’re lousy with hints – it’s hard for them to realize what women want. And sometimes women just have to live with that fact just to keep the fire burning.
It doesn’t have to be that dismal, though. You simply have to take a little time and effort to know what he wants – and satisfy them. When you do so, he'll gladly return the favor. Even the small things, like knowing his favorite dish, understanding that he needs space at times, or even simply fixing his tie – are little things that could win a man's heart.
In the end, if you want him to make you happy, make him happy too.
