Love

 

Dear Mrs. Figgins:

 What is a good way to show affection to your significant other?

My boyfriend has told me that he doesnt feel like i love him cause though i say it alot i dont do things that show it
but i cant think of a way to do so.

How to?

 

Dear How to:

Your boyfriend is letting you know that words aren’t enough.   He wants you to show your love thru how you treat him. 

Is he someone you want to make a life with?  If so, even if you are saving sexual intimacy until after the “I Do’s”, it is important that you get to know what makes him feel special.  Strive to make this a daily habit.

 

• LOVE:  Touch, Hold Hands, Sneak a smooch. 

• LAUGH!  

• BE GRATEFUL:  Let him know you’re grateful for the little things he does.

• BE INTERESTED:  Be interested in his day, his hobbies, his interests.

• DON’T BE JUDGEMENTAL:   He’s not perfect.  Neither are you.  Accept each other’s faults.

• Tell him how he makes your life better – and tell him how.

• Compliment him several times a day – and compliment him in front of others.

• Let him know that no one else compares – and that’s why you love him.

•  Be sweet in how you communicate – even when you’re boiling inside. 

• Never be dismissive.  Give him your full attention.

• Toast “him” – even if just with a glass of lemonade. 

• Don’t be afraid or too proud to say you’re sorry.

• Don’t complain.

• Say what you mean – mean what you say.  Don’t beat him up over and over again. 

• Ask him about his day, and how he feels about things.  Don’t interrupt.

• Let the past be “the past”.   Forgive.  Let things go.

• Find ways to rekindle your romance on a “regular” basis.

• Leave love notes.

• Touch base during the day – just to say you love him.

• Show how happy you are to see him.

• Suggest fun things.  They don’t need to cost money – they just need to bring laughter and love.

• Make time to leave stressful things “out of bounds”.

• Dance – even if he or you have 2 left feet. 

• Say I LOVE YOU several times a day.

• Be yourself.  Whoever you are will come out, so better sooner than later – or both of  you will be cheated.

If he had a choice of any place on earth to be:   Let it be with you.

Mrs. Figgins
