So, here’s what she recommends:

Be genuine, not just "polite"
Grandma always said, “The right words are remembered, but honesty is felt.” Don’t focus on being perfect; focus on being real. Listen closely, respond honestly, and stay true to yourself. It’s easier than pretending, and women appreciate it more.

Don't be afraid to show vulnerability
One of her favorite sayings was, “People don’t fall in love with armor, but with the heart behind it.” A man who’s not afraid to admit his weaknesses is braver and more intriguing. Share your thoughts and dreams, even if they seem a little unusual. Women love knowing there’s a real person in front of them.

Create “small adventures”
Grandma would often talk about how grandpa loved surprising her. It doesn’t have to be grand gestures — a walk to the lake, a candlelit dinner, or even an unexpected coffee date. It’s these little things that keep things fresh and show that you care about the details.

Keep a bit of mystery
“Don’t show all your cards at once,” she’d say. Keeping some intrigue is as simple as leaving a story unfinished or having something "to share later." It keeps the curiosity alive and makes the next meeting all the more exciting.

Have something that makes you happy
My grandma always believed everyone should have a passion of their own. It makes you more interesting and shows that you don’t lose yourself in relationships. Whether it’s sports, music, or a craft, what matters is that it brings you joy.

Grandma taught me that being true to yourself is the highest virtue and that sincerity truly captures the heart. Agree? Which of these tips resonates with you?
