The Ways to a Man's Heart

Don't worry, I'm not going to rant and rave about a man's desire to have a woman cook, clean and love sports as a pre-requisite to the seemingly daunting task of pleasing us. To be honest it's really not that difficult of a formula, but at the same time requires thought. The days of men only needing sex, food, sleep and entertainment in a relationship are far gone and I feel it's my civic duty to inform women that men require some of the same things women do to make a relationship work.

10 Ways to Let Him Know You Care...

1) Make Him Feel Masculine - Everyone man wants to know he is both needed and wanted in areas that don't encompass the realm of romantic love. Assuring him that he is your protector and that you are somewhat dependant on him will go a long way in showing that you are truly invested.

2) Be Flirtatious - OK when I say this I don't mean flirt with any and every guy you see or be overly friendly in general with the male gender. I mean that just because you are in a relationship with a guy, you don't have to stop having that flirty personally when around him. Be playful and somewhat teasing. It keeps him wanting more.

3) Be Complimentary - Never hesitate to let him know what you like about him. Men, much like women, need consistent reassurance that you like certain things we do or how we look. Does this sound needy?! Perhaps, but lets face it, both sexes fit that bill.

4) Feed His Ego - This probably could go along with being complimentary, but it's important enough to mention twice. Men enjoy a woman who acts a little protective and jealous. Showing ownership lets us know that he is both loved and appreciated.

5) Appreciate Him - Women have a tendency to expect men to go out of their way to make them feel loved. So, for once, do something similar in return. Don't be afraid to put in a little effort.

6) Boast - Boast about the great things he does to your friends while he can hear. He’ll be very flattered, and feel really appreciated. It’ll also encourage him to do it again, so you benefit too!

7) Say I Love You... - Tell him. You’d be surprised how many women forget to say those simple words. Tell him he looks hot, or that you miss him, and that you can’t wait to see him after work. It’ll mean more than you can ever imagine.

8) Make Plans - Do you usually meet the girls on a Saturday night, or visit your parents on a Sunday? Giving him time and attention is the best way to show that you love him!

9) Buy Him Something - Grab his favourite chocolate bar on the way home from work, plan a little in advance and buy him his teams shirt or just a beer. Buy him something that shows that you know him, and what he likes. It doesn’t need to be big, he’ll be flattered anyway.

10) Be Confident - Be who you are, and show confidence in yourself. Men can’t love women they don’t respect, so be who you are, love yourself and make him respect and admire you!!!!
