a woman loves to be treated like she's a little girl. women want men who are stronger than they are. they also want a man who can take care of them, but not necessarily financially. being protective and showing little points of etiquette are great ways of demonstrating masculine strength. pulling out chairs, putting your hand on her back to guide her across a street and helping her put her coat on are all protective gestures that let her know she is with a man.women notice everything -- and i mean everything . they are masters at detecting details and their meanings. so, even the smallest gesture, when done earnestly and thoughtfully, will not only be appreciated, but can earn you serious bedtime points.i'm not talking about just helping out around the house. some men think doing the dishes is the height of romantic expression. while this is a nice thought, it isn't enough. cleaning up after yourself is pretty much expected of you, not hoped for.tell her she's beautifulwomen will never tire of hearing this. but they'll love it even more if it's unexpected.write her a hand-written lettere-mail may be one of the most revolutionary inventions of this generation, but it sucked something very important out of life: the mystery and romanticism of the hand-written letter.take her out for lunchagain, it's the element of surprise that does the trick. you'll be the highlight of her day, especially when her coworkers see that she has such an awesome man.take her on an "official" datebonus points if you take her to a fancy place where dress is formal (you know women love dressing up).buy her a token presentone day, for no reason, show up with a thoughtful little gift.give her a flowerdon't wait for valentine's day or her birthday. under no circumstances should you give her a cactus and pretend it's an exotic plant.
