I went through several pages of threads and didn’t find anything on this topic so I’ll start a new thread. What are some of the best ways to show your "significant other" they’re special and score major points for your relationship? Multiple posts are fine as there are lots of ways to show you care. Here’s a classic. Send her flowers Okay that was easy. To spice it up, send her flowers on a random weekday when it’s not close to her birthday, Christmas, anniversary, Mother’s Day or any other “traditional” reason to give flowers. In other words, make her wonder. Make it better? Send the flowers to her at work. Nothing gives a girl bragging rights more than getting flowers at work. Send them on Monday or Tuesday so she can display them all week. Her co-workers will wonder what she’s up to deserving such attention. If she's a boss/manager, it will confuse her employees that maybe she has a soft side. Any others? Ideas for women to flatter guys?
Hmmm... my wife told me that the first time she thought about the possibility of marrying me (when we were still dating) was when she was sick and I took care of her by buying her food, antibiotics, giving her a sponge bath, etc. Granted it wasn't something I planned - I didn't wish for her to get sick and I really wanted her to get better - but nursing her back to health let her know that she was special. What I'm trying to say is, if she's special it's going to show in your actions and words that she's special - whether deliberately or not. Although, it's also nice to do some planning about how to show her how you feel.
Agree with Musikero, it's all about your actions. It's often in the little things. Pay attention to what she says she likes when you're randomly out. For example, if she says she likes this band etc ,get tickets, make her a mix or bring an article you found about them. If it's food, cook it for her as a surprise. Look her right in the eye with a gentle smile and tell her how much she means to you. All those things will reinforce that she's on your mind and that's half the work done my friend!
When my wife and I were dating, she was trying to balance a job, taking college classes, and having a romantic life. This was in addition to being a mom. I encouraged her to focus on her education and her daughter; the job she had at the time was dead-end. To do so, she needed help with her daughter. I offered to help out. Whenever needed, I'd pick up her daughter from the after-school sitter, feed her, take her to gymnastics or whatever, bring her home, and babysit her until her mom got home. Her ex never did any of that. I scored major points. As far as our romantic life, we found plenty of time for that, but sometimes it was a bit unconventional (late at night, when her daughter went to a friend's, when she went to her dad's, or sometimes all three of us would just gather for dinner and TV). My wife eventually graduated and our life has settled immensely. I've never regretted helping out and it won me MAJOR points! Great idea, but you've gotta win her affection to get to that point.
After a really late night of drinking I would always make waffles in the morning. It was a special thing that always made him smile, and I knew he really enjoyed it.
If you're with a guy, give him a threeway. Not with your really good friend who is also rather fugly; but with the hot one you kinda hate but keep around anyway. If you're with a girl? Make the sandwich yourself and get your own beer for a night. Girls appreciate the little things.
I like physical signs. Like when a guy puts his arm around me, plays with my hair. Or when we're sitting he just puts his hand on my leg. Delicate affection... And for some reason I like when a guy orders my food, I think cause I'm just shy. hahah That's probably just a me thing. Girls also like talking, we don't always like the listeners.
