How to keep a #man happy #4:
When he tells you his #feelings, really #listen and #understand. It has taken a lot of courage for him to express his feelings openly. When dealing with his friends, feelings are usually not shared, and it becomes second nature. He will #struggle with feeling #vulnerable, it is not a familiar feeling to him. Try not to interrupt him, and let him actually get the words out. Usually, he will be looking for a #solution to an issue that has been bothering him, so the best response is try and help solve the problem, even if its something that cannot be solved. Ask questions about it, and again, quietly listen closely. At least occasionally look him in the eye, so he knows you're engaged and he has your undivided attention.
