Learning all of the different ways to get him to open up is hard! Guys are difficult to understand and knowing just one way to get him to open up can be difficult! So girls, if your guy has clammed up and won't let you into his brain, let's go ahead and explore my top 7 ways to get him to open up to you, without seeming desperate and without you prodding or prying too much!
The first thing that you need to realize when you are dealing with men, is that they actually mean what they say. If their day was really fine, it probably really was fine. Instead, of asking how their day was, why not ask them to tell you about their day. Using open ended questions is a great way to get him to open up to you!
One of the biggest things that women don't allow is time. Time for a man to actually open up to his girlfriend, time for his girlfriend to get inside his brain and understand his emotions. Girls, one of the ways to get him to open up might just be by being there, might be by just allowing him to open up on his own time!
When you ask a question once, you don't need to keep rephrasing it another way. That can actually lead to frustrations, which in turn can lead to a fight. If he doesn't answer the same question after the second time, it might be a good time to stop asking him. This is another way to get him to open up to you!
While you might think that asking questions and assuming his needs is a good practice, it's really not. Truthfully, when you assume, it can actually make things worse. If you know something is wrong, don't keep asking, but let him know is subtle little ways that you are there for him, when he wants to finally open up. This is absolutely one of the best ways to get him to open up!
One of the biggest ways to get him to open up is reassure him that you want to hear everything that he is saying. Guys often think that girls don't care about their opinions or even their thoughts. This is why reassuring your man that you do care about everything he has to say is honestly a huge step!
No matter what your man has to say, one of the things you can't do is get upset right away (exception: if he's really being horrible or says something nasty). If his opinion on a matter is different than yours, he might not be willing to talk about that topic with you, because you constantly get upset with him.
Number #6 and number #7 go hand-in-hand. If you think that you are going to get upset, prepare yourself before hand and just anticipate your reaction before it happens. After all, you don't want to keep your man clammed up, instead, you want him to start opening up to you right?
So ladies, do you think that after all of these ways to get him to open up, he'll have anymore problems? Do you have anymore ways to get him to open up that have worked for you?
