Have you ever heard your woman say, “I just wish you were more romantic” or “Can you please just try to pursue me”? These common used phrases can be a little hard to understand in guy language. So today, I am giving you men a little key to what women really want! Here are five easy things you can do to keep the romance alive in your relationship!
- Random Acts of Service– We know that sometimes she can be a nag when she tells you to take out the trash, or do the dishes, but chances are she thinks she has to nag you in order for things to get done. So, show her some extra love by taking out the trash without her asking. Or you could go put gas in her car, vacuum the living room, cook her dinner, pick up the dry cleaning… anything that is a mundane “task” that we as adults have to do, do it for her!
- Random Gifts– When was the last time you dropped off a Starbucks at her work unexpectedly? Or even better, when was the last time you randomly brought home flowers? The gift doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful! Just think of something small that would make her day a little brighter and get it done!
- Random Compliments– This one may seem easy, but in actuality I think guys and girls view compliments in very different ways. Guys think that saying “dinner is great” is a good compliment, but sometimes it’s just not enough for the ladies! We want you to notice our haircut, or tell us we are beautiful first thing in the morning (bed-head and all)! Better yet, text her during the day and randomly tell her you were thinking of how beautiful she looked last week!
- Random Physical Touch (without ulterior motives!)- Did you know that those back massages don’t have to always lead to more? I know, it’s crazy for you guys to think about, but it’s true! Sometimes, after walking in heels all day at work, we just need a little lovin on those sore toes… without it having an agenda.
- Random Date Nights– Text her tomorrow at work and tell her it’s date night- no ifs ands or buts! Then get all dressed up and go out to eat at a new restaurant you’ve been dying to try! Make it unique. Make it fun. But most of all, make it happen! If you are having trouble getting “date nights” on the books, why not hire a professional! We have our Date Night Planning Services available now!
Okay, so these all may be just the “5 love languages“, but I think that you men need actual, tangible tips to deliver these forms of love! And sometimes all it takes is a little reminder for a romance expert :) Happy Monday Men!
