Loneliness is all around us. Even though we find ourselves in a planet with billions of people, many of these people live alone. Others, who may live with others, still harbor extreme loneliness on a continual basis. In the case of woman, we find many searching for advice on:

a) How to make a man fall in love with me

b) How to make a man love you and you alone

c) How to love a man and all that he does

d) How to love a guy

e) How to make a man love you forever and ever

A man is a very different “type of animal”. Many a woman has tossed and turned in her bed trying to figure that special guy out, and show him that they love him. Are gifts and presents the only what that you can show that special guy in your life that you care? Hardly. In this article we will be examining and exploring the various ways in which it is possible to tell that special man in your life that you love him through and through…

Food…

We have all probably heard that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. For many men this is true. We can’t go so far as to say that the only way to get a man love you is to go through his stomach, but it is true that almost every guy appreciates good food, and all that time and thought that has gone into it’s preparation.

1) For starters we will begin with the first meal of the day, which is breakfast. Why not make him something truly special to get his day off on the right foot? Think he might like some heart-shaped pancakes? If he’s not into pancakes how about trimming the corners off a piece of toast to replicate the shape of a heart? Even the butter that could accompany this dish could be trimmed into a heart shape. It will go great on those pancakes or toast. Yummy!!!

2) The next meal of the day is lunch. Many men take their lunch from home, and this provides you with a great opportunity to show him that you love him. Why not make him a special lunch meal and pack it with a note saying “I love you”. He will be quite surprised…especially when he is looking for that “same ole, same ole sandwich”.

3) The last meal of the day is the evening meal, at least for most people. Even though it’s the last meal of the day, this doesn’t mean that it has to be the least romantic. You could start things off with a dinner via candlelight. Play some romantic and soothing music in the background. That great little bottle of wine. Oh, and don’t forget to make him that special meal that he often raves about.

4) Snacks are often eaten throughout the day, but a romantic snack is a very memorable invent. I wonder, did you have that special treat that you ate together when you first started dating? An ice cream cone and a walk along the lake perhaps? Nobody says that you can’t recreate this experience again by “retracing your steps”. Bring on the romantic snack!

Showing Affection

Everyone needs to know that people care about them. Men are included in this group ladies! Even those “strong and silent type” guys can get a tear in the eye when they watch a very sad or touching movie. Looking for a way to show that special guy that you love him? Why not try:

1) A hug says so, so much. When he least expects it, why not give him one. Come up from behind, put your arms around him, and give him a great big bear hug. You could whisper “I love you” into his ear. No need to overdo this mind you…keep it special.

2) Listen, plain and simple. So many times when the guy comes home from work his ear falls off from the events of “your day”. He probably wants to relax a bit and not hear all about your woes and worries. Sit back and listen to what he has to say for a change. Instead of trying to change the subject all the time, truly listen, and offer “I’m listening responses”, like “I see” or “Hmmm”…

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

4) Guys (at least quite a few of them) love a good relaxing massage. Are you gifted in giving a massage? Why not unleash this talent? Start off with the back, and run your fingers through his hair. Give him every opportunity to tell you what he likes and what he doesn’t like. What a great way to unwind and prepare for the evening…

Romantic Activities

Many guys are very adventurous. They love to explore and try out new things. They love to test their manliness. Here are a few things that you can do together…

1) You can show your man that you love him is to do something that you would not normally do. For example, perhaps you really hate football. You have made no surprise of this to the guy in your life. Why not put your distain for the sport on hold for a day or two 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 about something, and will love to explain in detail to you the finer points of the game. If he’s not into football, but baseball, or basketball, or hockey, well, I’m sure you can figure out what you should ask him if you watch the sport for a few minutes…

2) What about chores? Does that special guy in your life have chores that he needs to do on a regular basis? Here’s an idea. Why not do it for him for once. Tell him that since he looks tired you decided to help him out. Remember to tell him that you are helping him out for once. If not, you may find that you have bought yourself yet one more chore to do around the house.

3) Why not engage in a pillow fight? For most of us a pillow fight brings back memories of our childhood and jumping up and down on the bed. Who says we have to leave this activity behind once we lose our baby teeth and leave home? When you are lying in bed one night, perhaps watching the television, why not just grab your pillow and give him a good wallop? He might be really involved 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 get yours good. Let the pillow fight begin!

Compliments Are Great

We all love to get compliments. We like to hear that others like our clothes, our jewelry, our hair, our “whatever”. Do you know how to compliment a guy? Here are a few ways:

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

2) Is that special guy of yours into clothes? Does he fancy himself a great dresser? If so, he will appreciate the fact that others notice his great sense of style. Take special note of any new clothes that he is wearing, and be sure that he knows you notice.

3) What do you like? Is there something that your man does that you really appreciate? Does he do the dishes from time to time? Does he take the baby out for a walk when you are exhausted? Let him know that those little things he does are really appreciated.

4) Leave little romantic 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 gets into it in the morning? It could say something like “You Are Loved”. He will get the hint.
