Most of the time when we think
about romance, we (women) focus on ourselves. What do we think of as romantic?
How can our lover please us? How can we get our lover to…? Well, anything that
would make our tender hearts pound in excitement.
What about him? Doesn’t the man
you love deserve equal treatment? Of course, this same thought can apply to the
other person in your relationship, whether it is a woman-woman one or a man-man
one. Generally speaking, there is one person in the relationship who tends to
be the leader in the romance department.
I’m focusing here on
suggestions about what a woman can do for her man, or the non-romance-leader to
do for person they love.
Dress
with your lover in mind. Wear one of his favorite outfits or wear your
hair in a way her prefers. Buy some sexy underwear or some that has a suggestive
message on it. Purchase some body paint and write a love message on your personal
billboard just for him. Or wear one of his shirts and nothing else; make sure
he knows that’s all you’re wearing.
Are
you into touching?
So are men. They’re not only visually oriented but very tactile loving. Play
footsie under the table in a public place, keeping it appropriate so as not to
embarrass either of you. Walk by him and touch his shoulder, maybe give it a
little squeeze, and walk away. Give him a big hug for no apparent reason. Give
him a hit-and-run surprise kiss on the cheek. Walk by him where he is sitting and
lightly run your fingers through his hair.
Do
you like being pampered? So do men. They like to know they’re
appreciated, too. After he’s had a tough day, give him a massage or run him a
hot bath…join him in it. Watch his favorite TV show (or game) with him, put his
feet in your lap, and rub them. Buy some massage oil and have him stretch out
on the sofa for a soothing rubdown. Set a romantic scene with blankets and
pillows in front of the fireplace (or someplace special), serve him your
favorite wine or his favorite drink, and….
Keep
him aware of you.
Put a nice or naughty note in his briefcase, or to open on his laptop. Call him
at work and tell him you’re looking forward to having a special time with him
that night. Tuck a suggestive picture of you in his shirt pocket. Show up at
his office with his favorite snack or with tickets to an event he likes: a
concert, a game, a special movie. Give him a long, hot kiss out of the blue.
The list can go on and on. But
I think you get the idea. Be creative and have fun with showing your love of
the important person in your life.

Lovely suggestions and idea for a blog post. It's really hard to focus on your partner when you have so many home and work responsibilities. We all need reminders. One thing I know would make my man happy is not wear a bra for a day to surprise him especially if we're going out (make sure I'm wearing a non-transparent top). Great tease and tension builder. Of course, I'd have to subtly let him know of the fact.
ReplyDeleteVicki, that was an excellent addition to the suggestions. Most men really like that whole "free breast" thing. Thanks for leaving a comment.
DeleteI know this is cliche but my husband enjoy great dinners and so I try to fix him something special every once in a while and go all out.
