In dreamland, partners in every relationship are always bringing an equal amount to the table and no one is ever keeping score. This ain’t dreamland, and there’s always someone that’s going to be taking mental notes on what you do right…and what you do wrong. Wanna turn the tables in your favor? Here are some easy things you can do. These small gestures can mean a lot, and might even make things a tad easier in the unlikely event that you really screw up big time.
- Hello/Goodbye Kisses – Those “I’m happy to see you” and “welcome back” gestures mean the world. Especially if you’re not one that’s good at communicating feelings.
- Cuddles – Yeah, we know. But those things convey a level of closeness and comfort that you can’t put a price tag on.
- Little Things – You’d be amazed at how far a little note from a sticky pad can carry her through her day. Try slipping it into something you know she’ll open when she gets to work. She’ll brag to everyone about it.
- Showing Appreciation – These days, the only way you know you’re doing a good job is when nobody talks to you. Everyone seems to go out of their way just to say that you suck, you screwed up, or they don’t like you. We all love to be petted.
- Chores – Yeah, they suck, but they still must be done. Taking on a couple, like the trash and the dishes, without being asked will take you miles.
- Affection For No Reason – A quick kiss or hug in the hallway without expectations or reasons shows that you care and enjoy her company, even when you’re not trying to get laid. The end result might be that you get laid more.
- Let Her Sleep – If you’re watching a movie together on the couch and she zonks out. Let it go. You wouldn’t want to be woken up, either.
- Leading Through A Crowd – It’s not like she can’t handle herself, but taking the lead through a crowd can give a feeling that she’s being looked out for and protected.
