11 Things Girls Wished Boys Knew

     So, I've been thinking a lot lately about gender roles, double standards and dating. I've got some of the best friends a girl could ask for. A few of those friends even have some pretty great boyfriends. Throughout life my friends and I have had some pretty interesting encounters with the opposite sex. Now, I'm not saying we're experts but we have learned a little from our mistakes and our victories.
     With the help of my partners in crime I've created a list of things that girls wished boys knew. Things that will help both sides of any partnership, friendship or relationship.

1. We just want you to tell us we're pretty, even though we already know.  
2. Just because we're girls doesn't mean we don't do gross things sometimes. Deal with it. 
3. Don't pretend you like us, sometimes we just want the same things you do. 
4. We want to dance and we want you to dance with us. 
5. Don't get butt-hurt, like ever, about anything. You shouldn't be a bigger girl than we are. 
6. We might just be having sex but we deserve respect nonetheless.          R-E-S-P-E-C-T. 
7. Please, just text us first. You have no idea how much it means to us. 
8. Just because you saw it on a porn doesn't make it real life. 
9. We might be girls, and yes we have a reputation of being fragile but trust me, we'd rather be hurt with the truth than comforted with a lie. 
10. Don't tell us our legs are prickly. We know we didn't shave. Sorry not sorry. 
11. There is a big difference between being nice and flirting. If you're confused just ask. 

Stay Sassy- A.
