hi this is a question for the ladies. What are some things that a guy can do make a girl feel better when they are depressed? in my situation, it's my ex gf. Right now I am her friend and she calls me sometimes. last time she called, she had gotten robbed and was really upset. i tried to console her over the phone but nothing that I said would help. The next day she apologized and I forgave her and asked her to do something towards the end of the week. This is what bothers me...she said "I'll have to see how I feel then." I am almost certain that she is talking about her job because it really does stress her out and she claims that it depresses her. (and she was getting ready to go to work.) But this is her career (nurse) and I want to know how to make her feel better. Flowers? Gifts? Space? I don't know.
