Write emails. Tell her how important she is to me. Talk to her several times a day. Tell her how beautiful she is and how much I love her. She is my heart. She is my everything. My life would mean nothing without her. That sort of thing. She loves it and encourages me to be ever more passionate. It’s amazing! Oh yeah… I use a lot of exclamations marks when I write her!

A lot of small gestures. She knows them, sees them and appreciates them.

Wedgies! What says I love you better than a good wedgy.

This is spooky.
A minute before I read this question I called my girlfriend in Greece, who’s having a night out with some friends.
I was just thinking a bit in my head about us two and realized something that sometimes I take for granted…
I called her and told her that I love her.
“Babymou, I just call you for a sec…, I love you.”

I let him read a library book that I checked out first.

@rebbel That’s awesome.

@Ayesha You deserve a serious answer, it was a good question. I get a kiss everyday when she drops me off at work and then as she drives away we always look back and wave to each other. And we always cover each others backs if anything bad happens. Plus even though we may not want to do something, we’ll do it for the other person.

@Adirondackwannabe Great answer. “Plus even though we may not want to do something, we’ll do it for the other person.”
That’s an amazing thing to do. Well done!

When I cook something special for him, especially if its not something I am fond of, like pumkin pie or bananna bread.
When I take extra care to make him look good.
When I pamper him.
When I bite my tongue as he watches horrible old westerns. (Honestly, how many times can one hear that little boy yell Shane!)
When I care for him when he is sick.
The years of crap I put up from his mom.
The sneak attack kisses and hugs that just randomly happen.
Doing my best to look my best for him and stay healthy as possible.
Joking him about things he may say or do. Keeps him laughing and keeps him grounded. ( He knows I only joke people I care about. )

All the little things that are above, plus. Today our friend was diagnosed with a bad cancer. I shared with my girlfriend that I was crying about it. She said she was too. I told her I loved her and wished I could just hold her while we both cried. She was very glad that I said that.

Ayesha's avatar

@zenvelo I am so sorry about your friend. I Hope and pray that God gives him/her the strength to pull through and live a healthy life.
Great answer.

There are so many little actions that add up to something significant.
I put the toilet seat down.
I wipe the counter after I fiishat the sink.
I shower before bed.
I wait to eat until she is ready.
I do the dishes when she cooks.
So many little things….

All of these acts are never mentioned. That makes them special.
And sex! Ooops! We weren’t supposed to mention that.

@worriedguy Wow… my Mom would love you.

I do little things for him just because I can (like buying his favorite candy bar when I’m at the store). I tell him I love him any time we part or talk on the phone and I’m always sure to give him a kiss goodnight and in the morning. I send him messages on the computer, even when he’s sitting right next to me. I do his household chores sometimes just so that he doesn’t have to and so that he can have a break. I make sure he is able to do the things he enjoys (like hunting and fishing).

I pay close attention to the little details of things that he says and then surprise him with little gifts or notes or photos or music or whatever, somewhere down the line that has to do with something that he said. Sometimes he asks, “How did you know that?” Because I was payin’ attention : )

Also, I cook for him.

I like make their day to day smoother, lighter, more comfortable, whatever it takes for them to feel spoiled in some ways. For most people it’s been by having a clean organized home, little details minded to and for others it’s been remembering things like favorite this n that’s, presents, surprises.

My S/O and I are always calling each other through the day and talk for hours at night. We are always talking whether it be throught text, email or phone. And not to mention how often he comes over! ♥

I am more tolerant and patient of/with my partner than I am with anyone else. I am loyal and faithful to him and I stick by him even during times when I feel that he is taking me for granted.
