Avoid beating around the bush when you need your boyfriend to do something you're not capable of doing. Tell your boyfriend exactly what it is that you need done. Keep in mind that women are not the only ones who enjoy the feeling of being needed. Make your boyfriend feel good by telling him that without his help you wouldn't be able to accomplish the task. However, avoid being too needy, which could cause your boyfriend to get annoyed with you.

Avoid neglecting your boyfriend's needs. Give your boyfriend a healthy supply of attention so that it becomes clear you care about his interests. If he is involved in a basketball league, support him by attending his games. Recognize when your boyfriend is feeling low and comfort him so he never has to ask.

Trust your boyfriend -- relationships that lack trust often fail. Determine if you have trust issues you need to repair, such as if you are having a hard time trusting your boyfriend to be faithful to you. Allow your boyfriend to give his input about what can be done to gain more of your trust. Often times the problem lies with your insecurities and not your boyfriend's faithfulness.

Take the lead every now and again -- many guys like when their girlfriends take charge occasionally. Avoid having your boyfriend make each and every decision in the relationship. For example, give an answer when your boyfriend asks which restaurant you're in the mood for. Take charge in the bedroom occasionally too. Start kissing and undressing him first -- something many guys fantasize about.
