We all want to be the perfect girlfriend, but what makes you the perfect girl for him?
By Tess Griman — Written on Sep 02, 2016
Sometimes all you need to hear is that your relationship is steady, and why a guy is with you.
But, you know, it's super annoying to ask. You can't just go up to a guy (even YOUR guy) and ask, "What is it about me that you like so much?"
And yet, it's the sort of information that we really want (and need!) to hear!
Seriously guys, why is it so hard to tell us sometimes? It really is that simple. Part of being an adult is learning how to communicate, just use your words, PLEASE.
Ok, so maybe I’ve annoyed a few fellas in the past by insisting that I hear all the details about every part of our relationship, but that’s just the type of woman and girlfriend I am.
In a relationship, I like to see things as black and white. I don’t have the time or energy to waste on a relationship if we’re not on the same page. But the rest of the time I’m not that picky about everything else (I swear). Most of the time I’m the chill girlfriend who doesn’t mind hanging with his friends and watching the game (mostly because there is usually snacks involved).
I’d like to say I have been a good girlfriend in the past. But it’s hard to tell. Guys think we’re complicated, but I think they’re more mysterious because they don’t always communicate how they feel.
Maybe you already know what type of girlfriend you are, but if you don’t, then I bet you’ve wondered. Ladies! This is something you need to know so that in the future or now, you can keep a good thing going and not drive your boyfriend crazy.
So use this guide to find out what kind of girlfriend YOU are, so you can know exactly why he's so crazy about you, according to your zodiac sign.
ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Aries favor comfortable clothes over getting all dressed up. You have a great sense of style, but athleisure will always be your first choice when going out. And because you don't spend a lot of time getting ready, you can be ready on the fly which is one of the reasons your boyfriend loves you so much. Just like Drake said, "Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no make-up on, that's when you're the prettiest."
You're optimism and enthusiasm is a big a plus in the relationship because your boyfriend knows that you can always cheer him up or on when things get tough.
But you can also make things tense really fast. You are short-tempered and once you get in a mood it's sometimes hard for you to get out of one. Learn to let the small stuff go.
You're the kind of gal that doesn't give up, in and out of the bedroom. What guy doesn't love that?

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)

You're also reliable, devoted and responsible. Your guy knows that if he ever gets into trouble, you'd come bail him out.

You constantly amaze him with how much you know from all the books you've read. You're a little bit nerdy, but he loves that side of you.
Gemini are also gentle and affectionate. If he's had a rough day, he knows he can come home to you and you'll know just what to do or say to make him feel better.
You're indecisive though. When he asks you what or where you want to eat, he wishes that you would just be honest about what you want.
