The mistake some women make in this regard is that they simply don’t know how to be supportive both in enthusiasm and in significant action. If you’ve been dating a guy for several weeks and he feels a strong enough connection with you to tell you that he wants to purchase his own Starbucks franchise someday, don’t simply log it away in the back of your mind as if he said something inconsequential. Communicate your enthusiasm by asking him questions about this aspiration of his and more importantly, at some point be sure to thank him for sharing his dreams with you.
