AlanTipert answered Wednesday May 18 2005, 10:12 pm: well, being cocky myself, i kinda like the guy. if you think he's worth the work--which i'm sure he is--help him change. maybe your deal can be that he can be cocky around other people if he works on changing around you. pinpoint the problem and get it down to brass tacks...a list of stuff that you can check off as he becomes more and more like the man you want to be with. i'm sure he can change if he wants to and if you want him to and if he wants to make you happy. if you guys wanted to be more, i'm sure he does. and make sure you live up to his standards, too. if you're not the kind of girl he's looking for, he's not going to want to change for you. i can personally only think of a very small handful of girls i would change for. good luck, o hope you can turn him around some, just don't remove his masculinity and allow him to still have a spine and be his own person and not be nice all the time and such. you'll never be able to break him completely; he'll always have that fire of cocky inside.
rate this advice well cuz i need the help...i just started. good luck [ AlanTipert's advice column | Ask AlanTipert A Question ]
