No one is perfect, and we know women are not perfect (wink) either. Women use "grocery lists of prioritized criteria that they use to determine whether or not a guy is dateable," Ask reported.

Just because your "signature move" got the last girl crazy, doesn't mean that it will even faze this girl.

Follow the golden rule and treat us as you would like to be treated: Be honest, fair, kind, and considerate.2. Try stopping at each base instead of being so focused on the home run—believe us, we'll thank you for it! Just because we're staying in doesn't mean the evening can't be romantic. Treat us like your girlfriend, even after we become your wife. Even the bouquets from the supermarket are enough to make us smile.4. We understand relationships can't be all wine and roses; simply making the time to be with us and treating us like your top priority says "love" more than all the fancy gifts and lovely letters ever could. The realities of a 21st-century relationship are that both partners probably work. You may not be good at cooking and you may not know how to boil water. We know you love us, but it's nice to hear you say it, too. We wish we weren't, but the reality is that we often notice our wobbly thighs and forget about our gorgeous eyes.

Likewise, remember small physical touches like massages. Date nights, making out in the car, kissing like when we first started dating—all of the things that made us fall in love with you don't have to stop just because now there are bills to pay, a house to be cleaned, and kids that need to get bathed. If you happen to get home before we do, why not take vacuum the living room or throw in a load of laundry? But greeting us at the door after a long day with fish sticks (or whatever you can wrestle up) makes us swoon, because it shows that you've been thinking about us and our hectic day.6.

There are plenty of men out there who are sufficient in each of these categories, not perfectly, but sufficient enough to make a woman incredibly happy. A woman doesn't want a man to lie to her about important matters.

She wants to be an important part of his life – the most important part, in fact.
