Being a good girlfriend doesn't mean being a doormat.
You can be a good girlfriend by being supportive and listening to your boyfriend but he should also do the same for you.
You should listen to each other when you are upset and (try) not to talk down to eachother and trade insults.
Talking about what you want is normally necessary to improve a relationship but when you talk be specific - like i would like to do this together or i did not like it when you did this.
Generally a rule of thumb for saying anthing negative to a boyfriend that you want him to change is to put it between two complements. This is far more effective than nagging in my experience.
For example - You are so intelligent and articulate and i love that about you, thats why i get upset when you say things like (whatever) to me. This is because normally you are so sweet and lovely.
Or give them something positive you want them to do rather than a negative they don't do. Its better to say i would love it if you called me when you are going to be late because i worry you may have had an acident. Then be nice when he does. This is far more effective than nagging your boyfriend or getting angry at him about it.

Treat him as you would like to be treated. Ihave to ask, are you in an even relationship 50/50..... do you both love and respect each other even with the differences that occur in a relationship. It's just not enough for yu to be a good girlfriend, ,,,,,he has to be a good boyfriend also, it's a two way street.

Treat him the way you want to be treated. Trust him, be honest with him, love him. You shouldn't ever have to bend over backwards to be a good girlfriend. You can only be who you are and nothing more. You don't have to cook, you don't have to perform sex all the time, you don't have to clean for him. What you should do, is remind him how great of a guy he is to you all the time. Reassure him that he has your heart because he is so awesome, lovable, sexy, cute. Tell him what you would want to hear, love him the way you want to be loved. Respect him the way you want to be respected.
This is a 50/50 relationship.

-Trust him until he gives you reason not to
-Act like you enjoy atleast a couple of things he likes(sports, play station etc.) Maybe even learn a little about something he is really into that you don't know a lot about or think you dislike, you might like it and that could give you both another common interest.
-Listen to him when he needs someone to vent to, just like you would want him to listen to you RESPECT goes a long way
-Both of you should have "me" time....no one wants to be smothered!
Don't over analize everything in your relationship and it will be fine! Good luck!

the first thing to remember is don't change who you are remember he fell in love with you the way you are. one very good attribute in a relationship is communication and honesty with out those two your relationship is doomed.
