10 – When You’re Getting Something, Get Her Something Too
Whether you’re going to the kitchen to grab a drink or going to the store to pick something up for yourself, coming back with something for her shows that you’re thinking of her. It doesn’t have to be expensive.
If you’re just getting a glass of water, get her one too. If you’re going to the store for some essentials, grab a pack of her favorite candy to surprise her.
11 – Give Her A Massage or Stroke Her Hair
Like hugs and random displays of affection, a massage, and stroking her hair fulfill that need for touch and human connection. After a long, hard day, nothing feels better than the gentle touch of your partner.
A soothing massage can help release the day’s tension, and stroking her hair can make her feel calmer. And a calmer, less tense partner is always a good thing!
12 – Keep the Place Tidy
Cleaning up after someone else is no fun. Let’s be honest. Cleaning up after yourself isn’t always fun either. But having to do it for a grown adult, especially if not reciprocated or appreciated, can be a big drag.
Like holding in negative feelings, this can cause resentment. Tidying up should be a team effort. Communicate and share in the responsibilities. And thank each other for what you do for one another.
13 – Hold Her Hand When Walking in Public
Public displays of affection are tricky. Sometimes, they can be over the top – and offensive to other people. But holding hands is probably one of the safer bets. Like other forms of physical touch, it can make her feel protected.
Bonus points for making sure to walk between her and the street on the sidewalk. It also shows that you’re proud to be together, so grab her hand and walk beside her. It will mean more than you know.
The take home
Women can be complicated. But on another level, their needs are also somewhat simple. They want to feel loved, appreciated, cared for, and protected. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, or even time, to show her how much she means to you.
