What makes a man want a relationship not just sex?

My husband and I have become two sides of the same coin. He needs my fierce and undying love. He needs my friendship . My pranks and silly jokes. He needs my smile and to know that no matter what I am always there with love in my eyes watching his back and protecting him.

I think there’s a balance when it comes to nurturing all the connections in our lives, but that balance doesn’t excuse normalized, flaky disrespect..

People get into relationships for a lot of reasons, but I think the happy relationships that last or when both people accept and appreciate each other for who the other naturally is. Nobody likes to be a project. Nobody appreciates being ‘pushed to do better’ a.k.a., regularly being reminded the other person doesn’t think they are good enough and should change abc about themselves in order for their girlfriend to be contented.

I’m not saying change your standards, only that dating a guy you already know will be a project in order for it to work harmoniously long-term is a bad idea.

Well, perhaps in their own thinking there's more fun with a girl who hasn't got "issues". Sadly, dating-wise anything nowadays too personal like being overly politeness can be seen like that.
Someone who really wants a relationship always looks at it on the long term becasuse with true love comes caring for the person. Hope this helps a bit

Man who understands and values his partner would always focus on relationship. Ofcourse, love-making is a vital part of a relationship but it is one of of the vital aspects, it is not everything in a relationship. In case, a relationship only has s*x and the two hardly understand each other then it is pure lust not love at all. Romance prospers if the two respect and value each other.😇

Being a romantic man, I prefer romantic cosy moments more than love-making. Something like this:
☺️

you have to be a person I want to be a friend with in addition to a person I want to bang
(but definitely you cannot be a person that I am a friend with that I never bang - the friendzone)

It depends on the man, and whether the relationship has something to offer, in addition to sex.

Definitely do not stop being yourself and what you expect

i'd say its board games!

Wait…what?

They don’t want a relationship. They don’t want to do the work. They want you easy and weak so they can use you and forget. Onto the next.

His own depth of personality. That's pretty well it
