How To Love A Man

70

By bspider

We live in a world of loneliness. Even though there are billions of people on the earth, many live along, and others have that feeling inside of loneliness on a continual basis. To alleviate these emotions, many women are searching for advice like:

  • how to make a man fall in love
  • how to make a man love you
  • how to love a man
  • how to love a guy
  • how to make a man love you

Men are a different “animal”. Tell me about it, right? Many a woman has spent a sleepless night trying to figure them out, and trying to determine the best way to show that they love that special guy in their life. Are presents for men the only way to show that you care? No, this is not the case at all. In this hub we will examine the various ways in which you can show that special guy in your life that you care about him deeply…in fact, that you love him.

Food

They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. For many men that is definitely true. We won't go as far as to say that food is the way to make a man fall in love with you, but every guy appreciates good food (and the thought that goes into the preparation of that special meal).

1) Let’s start off with breakfast. Have you ever thought of making him something unique…like “heart-shaped” pancakes perhaps? If he’s not into pancakes, how about trimming the corners off his toast to replicate the heart shape? Butter can also be trimmed into a heart shape, and will taste great on those pancakes or toast. Yum…

2) Next comes lunch. Many guys “brown bag” it to work, which provides you with a great opportunity to show that you love him. For an extra surprise, cook or make his favorite snack and add it with his “usual sandwich” for that special note saying: “I love you”.

3) Dinner is the main meal of the day for most people, and a time when you can sit back and relax the most during the day. How about a candlelight dinner with some scented candles? You could play his favorite soothing and romantic music in the background. Be sure to make his favorite meal to compliment the evening.

4) Snacks can be eaten throughout the day, but a romantic snack is very memorable indeed. Did you have a special treat when you started dating? How about a delicious ice cream cone and a walk along the lake? Nobody says that you can’t recreate this experience by “retracing your steps”.

Show Affection

We all need to know that people care about us, and men are no exceptions to the rule. Sure, they may be the “strong, silent type”, but I bet they still get a teary eye when they watch a sad movie. Show that special guy that you love him. Here are a few ways:

1)  A hug says so much. When he least expects it, come up from behind and put your arms around him and give him a nice hug. You can even whisper “I love you” in his ear. Don’t overdo this mind you…just once in a while so that it will be something really special.

2)  Listen to him. One of the most basic needs of all human beings is the need to be heard. When he comes home from a tough day at the office he might want to rave and complain a bit. Just listen to what he has to say, and instead of changing the subject, offer “I’m listening” responses such as “Hmmm”, “I see”, or “Oh my”.

3)  On the other side of the coin, some guys don’t like to talk at all when they arrive home from work. They’ve been battling the traffic, the clients, the boss, and “who knows” during the day, and need time to unwind. They will probably talk your ear off once they do relax, but be sure not to pepper them with questions as soon as they get home, or give him the latest version of your “Honey Do List”. Let him unwind a bit…

4)  Some guys like a good massage, and if you are gifted in this way, this a great way to show that you love him. The human touch is a very powerful thing. Remember to be gentle…there is no need to bring him to tears. You can give him a back rub, or how about just running your fingers through his hair? This is a great way to prepare for the evening meal, or other things…

Activities

A lot of guys are very adventurous. They love to try out new things and test their manliness. Here are some things that you can do to show that you love him:

1) One way to show your guy that you love him is to do something that you would not normally do. For example, perhaps you hate football. You have made this no surprise to the guy in your life. Why not put your distain for the sport on hold for one day and join him on the couch watching his favorite team? Instead of rolling your eyes and saying “Why are they so brutal” … ask him what a “first down” means. Guys love to show that they are knowledgeable, and will love to explain to you the finer points of his favorite sport. If he’s not into football, but baseball, or basketball, or hockey, well, I’m sure you can figure out what to ask if you watch the sport for a few minutes…

2) Does your guy have chores? Most guys have something that they need to do around the house on a regular basis. Let’s suppose your guy normally takes the garbage out every week. Why not surprise him by taking it out for him? You could say that you realize he is especially busy this week and thought you would help him out. Be sure to indicate why you have done this…he may think you really enjoy it and you have found you have a new chore around the house.

3) How about a pillow fight? For most of us it brings back memories of our childhood and jumping up and down on the bed. Who says we have to leave this activity once we lose our baby teeth and leave home? When you are lying in bed one night, perhaps watching the television, why not grab your pillow and give him a good wallop? He might be really interested in what he is watching so you had probably better gauge his mood before you do. Who knows? You might have “hit him” at the right time and in the right place, and with his childhood memories reignited, you get yours and good. Let the pillow fight begin!

Compliment Him

We all love to be complimented, on our clothes, or our accomplishments or our thoughtfulness. Here are a few great ways to compliment a guy:

1)  Say nice things about your guy when you are out with others. Tell them how special he is, or how hard he works, or how much he cares. Word will eventually get back to that guy of yours, and he will be thrilled that all the good aspects of his character have not gone unnoticed.

2)  Is that guy of yours a fancy dresser? Some are, and some, well “not so much”. If he is a fancy dresser he will appreciate it when other people notice. Take special note of a new piece of clothing, or how he has put it all together, and let him know.

3)  Is there something that he does for you that you really appreciate? Perhaps he does the dishes from time to time? Maybe he takes the baby out for a walk when you need time to unwind? Let him know how much you appreciate the little (and not so little) things that he does for you.

4)  Leave little notes in places that he will find them. Why not put a little note on the steering wheel of his car one evening so he will see it when he drives to work in the morning? It could say something as little as “You Are Loved”. He will get the hint.

Buy Him Something

We are all accustomed to getting gifts from time to time, but usually on the holidays or other special occasions. How much more special are gifts that are given randomly. They truly are a sign of affection, rather than on a mechanical “time to give a gift” occasion. We have scoured the web and have come up with some truly unique and spectacular gifts that we think you will enjoy giving (and he will enjoy receiving). They are:

  • Way Cool Pick #1 - Is that special man in your life into the outdoors? Perhaps he likes to fish or hunt or hike? I bet that you worry about him when he is away, right? He might get lost or hurt or “whatever”. What will you do then? Well here is a great little item that we came across. We didn’t even know that they existed. The "Satellite Messenger" is a small electronic device (lightweight at a mere 8oz) that will give him the ability to track his adventures and travels in the great outdoors. He will be able to keep you up-to-date on his current location and status as well. What does this mean? You will know where he is, and if he is in trouble. How much is that piece of mind worth? This little device can call for help, so it might even save his life one day. We’re not the only ones who think this is a great find. Backpacker Magazine gave it their 2008 Editors Choice Award. Considering what “peace of mind” this little gadget will give you, it might be just as much a gift for you as it is for him.  Check out our blog for ordering information.

  • Way Cool Pick #2 – So what do you get the guy who has everything? Have you been getting him neckties because you can’t think of anything else to buy? Well, take a look at this!!! How about getting him Fighter Pilot Training? Imagine him being able to experience the adrenaline rush of air-to-air dogfight combat. He will be able to discover the ultimate “natural high” in one of the best military machines that has ever been developed. He won’t need a pilot’s license, and yet he can still experience all the thrills! Say he’s not into airplanes? Well, Great American Days, has you covered. They have a whole list of exciting adventures, and I’m sure that there is one that will “tickle his fancy”. How about a trip to the edge of space? Does he always talk about wanting to drive a NASCAR one day? How about spending the day with the team who does underwater training for the Navy SEALs? Definitely check out what this company has to offer.  Check out our blog for ordering information.
  • Way Cool Pick #3 – Many guys love cars. In fact, if asked, they will often tell you of their favorite car. They might not be able to afford one mind you, but they have one none-the-less. You might not be able to afford one either, but you can get him the next best thing. DieCast Car Models have been selling exact replicas of cars online since 2001. From Fords to Ferraris, from Toyotas to Lamborghinis, from “this” to “that”, they seem to have them all. These are not just models mind you, they are MODELS. If that special guy in your life is a car lover, don’t miss the opportunity to see what they have to offer.  Check out our blog for ordering information.

In Conclusion
