I feel very bad about this, but to be perfectly honest I hate my boyfriends hair. I know that this isn't a big deal and I would never ever break up with him about it (that would just be stupid) but it bugs me because he's such a handsome guy. I'm not sure if he'd be willing to change it, but i know that the hair cut that i know would look amazing on him he doesn't like. how can i let him know that i don;t like his hair without hurting him.
Thanks,
Lisa

Ok, this is a tough one. It sounds like you've already brought it up... at this point, you have to let it go and let it come up naturally. Think about it on your own terms... if someone wanted to honestly tell you you didn't look good in something, how would you want to hear it?
You need to bring it up in a casual, nonconfrontational way. For example, if you're flipping through a magazine a see a haircut you think would look good on him, you could show him the picture and say, "Wow. That hair cut would look awesome on you. It would really accentuate your eyes." He'll file that away in the back of his head, and maybe if he's looking for a change, he'll get what you know you like.
I think in situations like these positive reinforcement is the way to go, not negative.
Good luck!
