Just because boys do not show their feelings doesn’t mean they do not have feelings

I realised this tonight as I chatted to one of my guy friends whose girlfriend just left him.  One of the major differences between boys and girls are that girls show their emotions while guys will rather keep it for themselves.  There are various reasons for this.  One of the reasons I think that is the most common one is the stereotype where boys are seen as the protectors and girls as the soft and faint hearted ones.  Boys are expected from a very little age to be the strong ones who are never a loud to show any emotion or feelings whereas girls are expected to play with dolls and be soft hearted. 

I think in any relationship both need to make compromises.  A relationship comes from both ways.  If your boyfriend does not say he miss you all the time does not mean that he do not miss you.  He probably misses you more than you can imagine.  And guys if your girl irritates you all she wants is a little attention.  Just give her a hug or tell her ones in a while you also miss her or are thinking about her.  Even though it does not come natural for you it can safe your relationship.  All the small things count.  We need to understand where we come from and why we act the way we do.
