A few days ago, I had an interesting conversation with a friend about how men should respond when a girl says "My period has come" or "I'm not feeling well." Honestly, this topic is quite nuanced. Many men's first reaction upon hearing a girl say she's not feeling well is to suggest "drink more hot water," which often earns them an eye roll. In reality, such moments test not only one's emotional intelligence but also how much you care about her.
Let me share my own experience. I used to be one of those straightforward guys who would say "drink more hot water." Once, when my girlfriend was on her period, I casually said, "Drink more hot water," and she completely ignored me. It was then that I realized how dismissive that response was. From that point on, I started thinking about how to show more warmth in such situations.
When a girl says "My period has come" or "I'm not feeling well," she isn't necessarily looking for you to solve a physiological problem; she wants your care and companionship. Therefore, the most important thing in your response is to make her feel that you care. For example, you could say, "Sweetheart, you really need to take good care of yourself during this time. I wish I could be there with you to warm your stomach." Such words sound very comforting, and she will feel that you genuinely care about her feelings.
Another way is to express your concern through actions. For instance, you could say, "Let me order you a hot drink; it might help warm you up," or "How about I go buy you some sanitary pads and a heating pad?" These responses not only show your thoughtfulness but also demonstrate your ability to take action. After all, actions speak louder than words, and women value what you do more than what you say.
Of course, if you find direct expressions of concern a bit too mushy, you can lighten the mood with humor. For example, "Oh no, Aunt Flo, that uninvited guest, is bothering you again. Once she's gone, we'll give her a good 'lesson.'" This kind of remark can make her feel that you're fun and can help her relax a bit during her discomfort.
In truth, what a girl needs most when she"s not feeling well is your companionship and understanding. You could say, "I know this time might be a bit tough, but please believe that your strength and beauty aren't diminished by these few days. I'm always here, ready to listen to anything you feel." Such words sound very warm, and she will feel that you truly understand her.
Finally, what I want to emphasize is that the most important thing when responding to a girl saying "My period has come" or "I'm not feeling well" is to be sincere. Whether it's gentle concern, practical actions, or humorous remarks, the key is to make her feel your care and presence. After all, what a girl needs most when she's not feeling well is someone who can make her feel secure.
So, the next time a girl tells you "My period has come" or "I'm not feeling well," don't just say "drink more hot water." Try these high emotional intelligence responses, and you might just see some unexpectedly positive results!
