When you make up your mind to spend your life with someone, then you don’t hesitate to share your darkest secrets with them. It means that you never lie to and let them be the first person to know everything about you.
Touch in small and nonsexual ways to show that you care and that your partner is special to you. A big bear bugs, a graze of a hand or even a friendly hand on a shoulder as you’re walking by can cause a connection-boosting reaction.
If you are confused or upset, ask for advice. Asking for his advice shows that you value his/her opinion.
Tell him a fond memory that involves him. Remember the time when that old couple spilled their popcorn in the theater and he stopped to help them? Or maybe he did something extra kind to you on your birthday.
A handmade or homemade gift conveys special meaning to the recipient. Prepare a special meal, dessert or other homemade goodie for the special guy in your life. If you are crafty, make him a manly piece of jewelry, a paperweight or other item. What it is doesn’t matter as much as the thought behind it.
The words “thank you” can go a long way to showing your appreciation. Acknowledge when something particularly awesome is done, or even something routine and mundane that makes your life easier, such as emptying the dishwasher or filling the gas tank.
Surprise your partner with an event centered completely on him/her. Take him to his favorite restaurant or cook his favorite movie. Go to the theater and let it be “guy’s or girls choice,” or rent his/her three favorite movies from the video store.
Just like you, sometimes he just needs a shoulder to cry on or a set of sensitive ears to listen to him talk about his day. Be a supportive listener by allowing him to vent his worries around you. Don’t feel pressured to give advice; just listening will show you care.
Sweet talk goes a long way toward building the feeling of being special. Try “You’re looking so handsome!” “You make the best lasagna” or “That spreadsheet was such a good idea.” Look for reasons to lavish praise upon him or her and he will truly feel special.
Give the gift of undivided attention to the man/woman in your life by stopping what you are doing when he/she is speaking, making eye contact and really listen to what is being said. Giving your attention may also mean making time to spend with just him/her.
If you show interest in getting to know his members, and you make efforts to greet them nicely, then that will give a relief to your partner. Why? It is because the family at times become the reason of break ups, and when your loved one sees that you have cordial relation with the family, then he feels relaxed and the fear of departing fades away.
