Recently, while chatting with a few single friends, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: girls always complain that boys don't understand them, while boys feel that girls are too hard to figure out. This reminded me of a joke I saw before: a girl says "whatever," the boy suggests "let's have hotpot then," the girl says "it's too greasy," the boy suggests "how about Japanese food," the girl says "it's too bland," the boy asks "what do you want to eat," and the girl says "whatever"... It's a vicious cycle!

Actually, communication in a relationship is truly an art. I have a childhood friend, Qingmei, who never dared to express her needs, not even when she was crying from the spiciness of hotpot. It wasn't until she met her current boyfriend, Dagang, that she gradually learned to voice her thoughts. Dagang always says, "Just tell me what you want, don't make me guess, otherwise I might get it wrong and you'll be unhappy." Now, the two of them get along so sweetly; if Qingmei wants cake, Dagang brings it home after work; if Qingmei thinks the sun is too strong, Dagang takes her shopping in the mall. This straightforward way of interacting has actually made their relationship better.

Speaking of which, I recall another friend, Yuzhu"s story. She always wanted her boyfriend, Xiaofeng, to guess her thoughts, but it always ended in disappointment. Once, Xiaofeng bought her iced tea, but she complained, "How come you don't know I like coconut water?" Xiaofeng was also helpless, "You said 'whatever'!" Later, after being persuaded by friends, Yuzhu finally understood that it's better to speak directly than to have the other person guess. Now, the two of them are inseparable.

Actually, boys also need to master some small skills to find love. For example, when dating, instead of always asking "What do you want to eat?" you could say, "I know a nice restaurant nearby, want to try it?" This shows you have initiative without being too overbearing. Also, learn to observe and remember what the other person likes or dislikes, so you can cater to their preferences on the next date.

Ultimately, the most important things in a relationship are sincerity and communication. Girls should learn to express themselves generously, and boys should learn to listen attentively. As some netizens say, "Dating isn't a guessing game, it's exhausting to keep guessing!" So, instead of playing guessing games, it's better to openly express your thoughts. This not only avoids misunderstandings but also makes the relationship sweeter!

Finally, here's a little tip: if you really don't know what the other person likes, why not make a list and note down their preferences. This way, you won't face the awkward situation of "What do you want to eat? Whatever" on your next date!
