Going on a trip with your boyfriend is one of the most exciting experiences you can have. And also one of the most important decisions in your relationship. However, before you jump the gun, there are several factors to consider.

Traveling With Your Boyfriend

How Comfortable Are You With Him?

Make sure you share a comfort level with him. Don’t go on a trip together after only a couple dates. Spend some real, quality time together where you feel safe and comfortable in his presence. When you on a trip together, you will be alone with him in a car or hotel room. Make sure you two have bonded already.

Is It Too Early?

Going for a trip is a crucial decision. It’s a milestone in a relationship, especially the first trip you take together. It must be taken at the right time. If it’s done too prematurely, it may not do any good to your relationship. Will it cause you to realize you’re not as attracted or comfortable around him?

Are You Both on the Same Page?

Little things get in the way when you’re spending time together every second of the day. Little things will irritate you about him. And vice versa. That’s natural and to be expected. But the more important question to ask is whether you two are on the same page. How do you both deal with the irritations? How does he behave in less than ideal situations?

What are Your Expectations?

You would be surprised at what both your expectations are. When you are dating or in a relationship, you don’t live with each other. So you only see a glimpse or snapshot of each other’s personalities. But on a vacation together, you’ll be with each other 24 / 7. That’s no joke! I remember the first trip I took with my boyfriend. It was a fun trip, but there were also several disagreements. We saw different sides to each other we never did earlier.

It’s better to discuss all this beforehand. For example: Do you plan to have some alone time there? How much time are you planning to spend together on the trip? What activities are you planning?

Have you been dating your guy for a while? Do you think he may be ready for a relationship? If you’re confused whether he’s thinking about this, then consider these signs.

Signs He is Ready for a Relationship

He Talks About Things in the Future Tense

He’ll mention things and events in the future tense. For example: he’ll spot a restaurant and say that you both will eat there on your next anniversary. He will allude to when you two get married and have children.

When he constantly starts referencing things in the future, that means he’s planning a future with you.

He is Planning a Special Getaway or Trip with You

He wants you to treat you to a fun, special vacation. A trip means spending a lot of time with each other 24 /7. It means also doing a lot of planning in advance. If your guy is up for that, he is definitely ready for a relationship.

One of the most confusing things in the dating world is when a man lies. You’re not sure why he’s lying. You don’t understand the motivation to lie in the first place.

Men and Lies

He is Insecure

Depending on the lie, he could be insecure. Maybe something pushes his emotional buttons and it brings up feelings of insecurity, confusion, and anxiety. In this situation, he could lie just because he doesn’t want to admit his vulnerabilities.

He Wants to Impress You

You can even look at this as a compliment to you. A man is lying because he wants to impress you so much. He doesn’t feel good enough to get you, so he resorts to lying in hopes that you return his affection. I’m not saying this is right or a good thing, no matter how flattering. Ultimately, it doesn’t allow for a real foundation to be built on trust between you two.

He Doesn’t Want to Hurt You

If you get upset or react easily, then he may start lying as a way to avoid drama. Though the intention may be positive, he doesn’t want to hurt your feelings, it’s not going to benefit your relationship.

It’s Simply Easier

Or it’s simply easier for him to lie than deal with your hurt feelings and a habit for him.

Getting the guy’s attention is pretty easy once you understand how a guy’s mind works. It’s true a guy is very visual, but it goes beyond that. If you can learn how to play into a guy’s senses, then you can get them craving for your attention in no time.

Getting a Guy’s Attention

Dress Sexy

Show the right amount of skin and hide enough, so it allows a guy to guess and wonder. You’ll be playing right into his imagination. Wear something sexy, but something that is also cute and exudes your femininity. It’s one of the beauties of being a woman, you can dress up in all sorts of clothes and try a variety of looks. Men don’t get that many options!

Make Eye Contact and Look Away Shyly

This one really works! Especially in a crowded place or party. Imagine you’re sitting at a bar or friend’s get together. You spot a guy you find cute right off the bad. Make eye contact and as your eyes meet, smile as if you’ve been caught and look away shyly. It’ll drive home the point that you found him attractive and if he’s interested, he’ll get the message and approach you, leaving just enough mystery and intrigue, too.

 Show Off Your Uniqueness

Don’t shy away from expressing your unique points about your personality and life. It’s not bragging, but showing what you are capable of and your uniqueness. For example: I don’t intend to brag about my book, but I do bring it up to a guy or on a date because I’m proud of it and also I feel it’s gives my persona an interesting twist. A man can see there is more to me than meets the eye.

Be Fun and Alive

Most of all, have an energy and be fun around a guy! Or if you’re with a bunch of friends, enjoy yourself and laugh merrily. Be yourself because that is what will really get his attention.
