We tend to always hear from women about the little things men can do to show their love towards them. But we don't hear a lot from men about the things women can do to make them fall in love. Here's a hint it has nothing to do with how a woman looks. Take a read to figure out what makes a man fall in love.
Emotionally Charged Hugs
“Close and emotionally charged hugs. When she buries herself in my chest or neck. Makes me feel all strong and protective and absolutely melts me.”
Legally Blind
“I’m legally blind in my right eye and one girl I was dating always made a point to get seats on the right side of theaters so that I’d be able to see everything without turning my head. Really simple but it blew me away when I caught on to her.”
Pretending To Care
“Pretend to care about my day. I know it might sound condescending, but I don’t mean it that way. After a 12 hour shift and hour commute each way I just need to talk to somebody, for a minute or two about my job that I know you don’t care about. Simply the attention and a hug can turn any stress around. That alone can mean so much.”
Not A Morning Person
“On days I work before my gf she will get up earlier than usual to make me breakfast and a lunch for the day. It makes a HUGE difference because I am not at all a morning person. I know that may not be ‘romantic’ but it definitely gives me warm fuzzies.”
When She Looks At Me
“When they looked at me like they are 100% interested in me. Or when they treat me with respect and kindness. Even if you don’t like ‘like’ me or see me as a boyfriend, I would really love it if you treat me as a human being and not a eye sore because I am not your type. Also when they buy me something out of the kindness in their hearts. (Not saying I want a girl buying me stuff, but you would really score trust points with me if you did.)”
Everythingggg
“Honestly? Everything. I punched above my weight when I met and married her. The woman is a f–king powerhouse. She takes care of our animals like only a mother could, she works her damn a– off and when I come home from work, she’s either cooked dinner (she’s normally the cleaner upper after I cook, but as of lately she’s discovered cooking and gets so excited trying new things). I’ve been working 12 hr days, then hitting the gym for hours afterwards, she’s super supportive of my goals in the gym, and is researching meal plans and usually has my protein ready right when I walk in the door. F–k, she’s my best friend first and foremost and just the way she looks at me so damn lovingly with the twinkle in her eye when I’m telling her about something I’m passionate about gives me butterflies. We’ve been together for 6 years, married for 1.5 and I can’t wait to scoop her into my arms and hold her and hear about her day and tell her about mine. Nothing I can do or say can ever really make her understand how much she saved my life and made me the better man I am today. I’m going to go wake her up now and tell her for the 100th time today how much I appreciate and respect and love her.”
52 Things I Love About You
“On Valentine’s Day or maybe it was our anniversary, she gave me a deck of cards labelled ’52 Things I Love About You’, and each card had some unique little quirk of mine. Half of them were things I didn’t even realize I did. Absolutely melted my heart. We’re not dating anymore, but I still hang onto that deck of cards, even though now it just makes me profoundly sad.”
Wonderful Alarm
“My girlfriend gently wakes me up with a kiss and a huge hug every morning before she heads to the gym or daily errands. It doesn’t seem like much but it honestly gives me what I need to drag my anxiety-prone a– out of bed every day. She always says ‘I love you’ before she walks out of the room.”
Being Very Affectionate
“I used to have a girlfriend who was generally very affectionate. When we were just hanging out (either with friends, in a public place, or just sitting on the couch), she’d rub my back, run her fingers through my hair, lean on me, lean on my back, snuggle me, hold my hand, or rest her hand on me. It was very subtle, and not very PDA to the onlooker, but you bet that I noticed every time. She was also not clingy, if that makes sense. Near me, she’d be lovey, but never had to be right next to me 24/7, and was fine with me going out with my boys or being incredibly social when we would go out. She never would trip on a girl giving me hugs or kisses on the cheek, because everyone knew that we were an item and we were pretty laid back. I miss her and wish she didn’t have to go back to Germany all those years ago. I would still be with her and care for her like a treasure.”
Motorcycle Ride
“I’m huge. My girlie is petite. When she’s riding b–ch on the back of my motorcycle, she can’t see around me. Add to that the fact that it’s loud and she can’t jabber, and she gets bored. When she gets bored, she scratches my back and massages my neck. I have turned 5 minute trips into 20 minute trips to get me some more of that. Also, she has really big boobs. If I hit the brakes hard, they will smoosh into my back. I often hit the brakes harder than I need to.”
The “Arm Walk”
“If I’m walking with a girl and she does the wrap her arms around my arm walk thing. It makes me feel so strong and amazing. Like I’m there simply to protect her and she feels completely safe with me. I love it.”
Beautiful Notes
“Notes. One time I came home to a note on the microwave saying ‘DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT jk it’s pizza’. I’m like, this girl f–king GETS me.”
Romantic Letters
“So I’m traveling abroad for work right now, won’t get to see my girl for like six months. She sent me a stack of like 20 letters, each in a different colored envelope. Each one is labeled ‘Open when you’re happy’ or ‘Open when you’re sad’, ‘Open when you can’t sleep’, etc. and every one contains like 2-3 pictures of us doing something together, and a letter to suit the situation. It really brings a smile to my face, and makes the distance easier. I love my chick!”
Red Plum Jelly
“One time I told a girl I liked red plum jelly. Next time I stayed over she had red plum jelly in the fridge. Honestly, guys like anything that shows that you care. We are very emotionally isolated most of the time.”
Small Romantic Contact
“When she initiates any sort of romantic contact. Maybe a kiss or just gripping me tighter when cuddling and letting out a content sigh.”
Gestures Reveal A lot
“My wife packs my lunch everyday. When I open it up I get warm and fuzzies because I know she made it for me. I can also tell how she’s feeling by what’s packed. No yogurt usually means that’s she’s stressed, so if I don’t have yogurt I try to pick up more of the shared tasks like laundry or mowing. It could mean that we’re just out of yogurt too, but I try to not go grocery shopping. I’ll go in for yogurt and come out with a 2 lb bag of Skittles instead.”
Non Sexual Kisses
“I feel warm & loved when my wife comes up behind me and kisses me on the back. I can’t explain. It’s not sexual. It’s just awesome.”
My Hair
“When she runs her hand through my hair.”
Compliments
“Being complimented! Just out of nowhere, hearing something that they appreciate about me lets me know that 1) they are thinking about me and 2) that they are putting value on my actions and felt inclined to let me know about it. It just makes my day to hear :)”
Holding Hands While Driving
“If I’m driving and we’re just cruising on the highway and I’ve got my left hand on the wheel I just love it when she holds my right.”
Sharing Toothpaste
“My wife will put toothpaste on my toothbrush when we’re getting ready for bed. It’s the smallest thing but it is super sweet.”
I’m On Top Of The World
“This isn’t a commonly occurring thing but it definitely melted my heart. She was standing on a broken wall, and she was enjoying the view. She looked absolutely mesmerizing and I wanted to take a picture of her. All of a sudden she started singing, ‘I’m on top of the world hey!’ She did it out of pure joy, and happiness and in that moment, I fell in love with her all over again.”
Whispering
“Whisper in my ear. Instant melt. Bonus melt for the content of said whispers.”
Want Some Avocado?
“When you’re at a club and she pulls an avocado out her pocket and asks if you would like some.”
Small Gesture
“Anything to let me know you were thinking about me. The smallest gesture or text or whatever. And touching me affectionately, like my arms or shoulders or my hair. I’ll absolutely melt.”
