There Are Some Things Girls Should Always Do For Guys.

DISCLAIMER: Please remember people!!! What do the Pirates say?
"These are more like guidelines, than actual rules..." I know there are exceptions to everything and everyone is different. I know these are not essential to wonderful relationship.

1. As much as you want to talk about past relationships, keep it to a minimum, unless he asks. You don't want him to feel like he's in competition with anyone.

2. Every guy has a 'geeky' side of him. Whether it be video games, DnD, WoW, anime, football among other sports, or whatever. Don't make fun of him if you don't like it, either tolerate it, or learn to like it. DO NOT try to change him. If he's constantly ignoring you for that hobby of his, tell him.

*3. When you hug the boy, hold tight. It doesn't hurt to rest your head on him either.

4. Compromise for movies. Watch his favorite movies and he'll give in for the movie you want to see.

5. Sometimes pay for the date! I know guys hate this, but if he takes you out constantly, it's more than likely he's going to be poor! Treat him sometime. Even if you just buy the snacks!

6. Hold his hand!! Even in the mall when you have a ton of bags, hold his hand.

7. Don't run away from his favorite stores, if you don't like them! Watch him. Gift ideas!!

8. Any time your guy gives you a compliment, don't just roll your eyes. He means it, and you should smile and say thank you.

9. Guys are pressured to have sex. Stupid society. Anyway, if you want no sex in a relationship, tell him before things get too complicated! You can compromise too. If you are uncomfortable with something, STOP.

10. “Fine�? or “whatever�? is not an appropriate ending to a conversation. Only makes matters worse.

11. Life isn't a drama or a movie. This is real life, people. They don't often come with a sword, armor, and a white steed.

12. NEVER EVER kick them in the place below the belt. Even in a fight or argument, just don't do it.

13. TRUST HIM. Don't scream when he looks at another girl. We know you were goggling at the cute guy that just passed. It's nature. Don't dig through his phonebook, and hey, guys can have female friends just like girls can have male friends. If this makes things awkward, talk about it.

14. This should go without saying. Love him for who he is! Don't worry about what others think. Don't try to change him into what's cool and hip. Some compromises can be made, and tell him that if he ever has a problem you changing him, to tell you.

15. In an argument, just because society stereotypes women as being smarter, more mature, and men as dumb and immature, doesn't mean you are always right.

16. Listen to him. Even if it's something you don't want to hear. Good communication is key.

*17. Cook. It may sound stereotypical, but a lot of guys like having a meal cooked for them. A lot of it is the thought, but if you truly are terrible, then maybe this isn't one you should try. If you know how to cook, maybe teach him, or you both can learn together.

*18. Sing. Many girls underestimate how well they sing. You don't have to be able to sing 10 octaves or whatever. Don't be embarrassed to sing in front of a guy, just let yourself go a bit and have some fun.

*19. Dress modestly. Guys are very visually oriented and get distracted easily. The modest girl is always more likely to be taken seriously in a relationship.

20. Just like girls want girl time, guys want guy time. Giving your guy space to hang with his friends is not only fair, but it shows you trust him in a way.

*21. Respect the guy for who he is, not because he earns your respect. Guys relate to each other on a respect level, and if you want him to open up to you, he has to know that you don't look down on him.

*22. Let your guy take pictures of you. He may not admit it, but that picture will probably be with him always. Even if you think it looks horrible.

*23. Don't always expect the guy to be the one to call. It is okay to call your boyfriend on occasion, and it shows him that you care about him and are thinking about him. And don't get upset if for some reason he doesn't have time to talk. He does have a life

*24. Remind him that you appreciate all the sweet little things he does for you. Let him know it's not all in vain.

*25. If a guy uses a key to let you into his car, reach over and open the door before he gets to it. I know this may be common sense to most girls, but you know, some do not do this. It's a tiny little action that can make a guy go "hey, she's considerate."

*26. Let the guy open the door for you or do any other chivalric action. He's fulfilling your wish for a gentleman, don't deny him the chance to do something nice for you. Thank him! You are doing all these wonderful things for him, let him return the favor.

*27. Communicate with him. Tell him directly what's on your mind. You can always hope that he'll get your subtle hints or body language, but if it's important, you're better off using words.

*28. Sometimes you have to take the initiative. Don't always wait for him to come to you, because if that's how it always is, you're going to lose him.

*29. If they buy you jewelry, wear it around them, even if you don't like it. They will appreciate it, because it's the thought that counts.

*30. A word of appreciation now and then regarding his protective/kind/chivalrous
attitude will go miles toward the end. You won't regret it.

*31. Get him little gifts and surprises too, it tells him that we do think about him and he gets something he wants out of it.

*32. When you are talking to a guy you are interested in, lean in, touch his arm or hand, while your talking. physical touch communicates interest and value.

*33. Whether it's from across the room or while your talking let him know that you are only interested in what he has to said. so look into he's eyes and smile.

*34. Never judge him based on his friends. They may give some insight, but sometimes guys as well as girls can befriend people that are completely opposite of themselves because they like the change. Don't let who he hangs around with be the deciding factor of your judgments about him. Get to know him.

*35. Cute is what he is when he does something goofy, not how you should compliment his looks.Tell him he looks handsome... or any other word you'd use to describe James Bond.

*36. Let him know you're on his side and that you support and believe in him.

*37. Sex is not just something women do as a favor to men. Don't use it against him to get what you want. Admit it, women like sex just as much as men. What if your guy refused to have sex with you to get something he wanted?

Edhi is a name synonymous with charity work and self sacrifice in Pakistan. The man is well known throughout the country and is loved by many. He is one of the most active philanthropists in the world. For some, like me, the value and dedication of his work even surpasses that of Mother Teresa (of Calcutta, India) who did a lot of work in her own right for the betterment of humanity.

Here are some excerpts from Wikipedia about the man and his life:

"Dr. Abdul Sattar Edhi (Urdu: عبد الستار ایدھی), or Maulana Edhi, as he is often known, is one of the most active philanthropists in Pakistan and in the whole world. He is head of the Edhi Foundation in Pakistan. Edhi foundation branches are spread all over world. His wife Begum Bilquis Edhi, heads the Bilquis Edhi Foundation. They both received 1986 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service. He is also the recipient of the Lenin Peace Prize.

...

When his mother would send him to school she would give him two paisa, one to spend for himself and the other to spend for another. At the age of eleven he started to take care of his mother who suffered paralysis from severe diabetes. From an early age Edhi learned to help others before himself - this would be crucial to success in his life later on.

...

In 1947 his family migrated to Karachi, Pakistan after the Partition of India. In 1951 he used the money he saved up while he was looking after his mother to purchase a small shop. It was at this shop where he opened a tiny dispensary with the help of a doctor who taught him basic medical care. He also encouraged his friends to give literacy classes there. Edhi had spent his life a simple man, and would continue to do so, he would sleep on a concrete bench outside the dispensary so he was available at any time to help people.

In 1957 a major flu epidemic swept Karachi, Edhi was quick to react, he set up tents on the outskirts of the city to distribute free immunizations. Grateful residents donated generously to Edhi and so did the rest of Pakistan after hearing of his deeds. With all the donation money he bought the rest of the building his dispensary was located in, and opened a free maternity centre and nursing school, and so Edhi Foundation was born.

...

Along with hospitals and ambulance services, Edhi Foundation has set up clinics, maternity homes, mental asylums, homes for the physically handicapped, blood banks, orphanages, adoption centers, mortuaries, shelters for runaway children and battered women, schools, nursing courses and soup kitchens. A unique part of every Edhi centre is that there is a carriage outside each one, so that women who cannot afford to keep their children can simply place their baby in the basket and Edhi Foundation will place it into an orphanage and give them a free education.

Not only has the Foundation grown throughout all of Pakistan but it has grown internationally as well. Edhi's charity has been an integral part of every crisis and disaster in the Muslim world, with himself going out personally to other countries to lend his own support and personally manage his charity's operations. The Foundation has been present in Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Bosnia, Sudan, Ethiopia and the countries affected by the Boxing Day Tsunami, to name a few.

...

Today not just in Pakistan, but in the Muslim world, Abdul Sattar Edhi has earned a reputation as being one of the most selfless and honorable human beings today. Despite his fame and reputation he continues to lead a simple life, he wears traditional Pakistani Shalwar Kameez, of which he only owns one or two, and he owns one pair of slippers, which he has supposedly worn for the last twenty years. This is despite the fact the Edhi Foundation has a $10 million budget, out of which he takes nothing for himself. His son Faisal once stated that when the Foundation was setting up in Afghanistan, local staff had purchased chairs for guests and the press when a new center was being opened, when Edhi arrived he was furious because the money that was spent on the chairs could have been used to help people, that night he slept on the clinic floor with the ambulance drivers.

Today Edhi Foundation continues to grow. Edhi, looking to the future, has stated that he aims to build a hospital every 500 km in Pakistan. Although he is given the title Maulana out of respect, he himself dislikes the title. He has never been to a religious school and he is not an Islamic cleric. He prefers being called 'Doctor' as he has received an honorary doctorate from The Institute of Business Administration in Pakistan for services to humanity. He is also famous for being very shy about his popularity and when people personally praise him for his work. He also refuses to accept donations from governments or formal religious organisations, because according to him they set 'conditions'. Both General Zia-ul-Haq and the Italian government sent him generous donations, which he sent back.

...

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, as of 1997, Edhi Foundation's ambulance service is the largest volunteer ambulance service in the world. He also personally holds the world record for having gone the longest time working without having taken a holiday. As of when the record was set, he still has not taken a day off work."

* In 2000, Edhi was awarded the International Balzan Prize for Humanity, Peace and Brotherhood.
* On 26 March 2005, Edhi was presented with the Life Time Achievement Award by the World Memon Organisation (WMO).

You might now be wondering why I have put up all the above stuff in this post. The reason is simple. Nominations are being made for Nobel peace prize and this is a part of the effort to get Edhi nominated for the prize. He deserves it for his selfless efforts for the sake of humanity and for trying to reduce the suffering of human kind wherever he possibly can.

The deadline for the nominations is the 1st of February, 2007. If you want to vote, make sure to vote before that and ask other people you know to do so too.
