4. Compliments and appreciation

A man will most likely never ask you to give him additional compliments since he doesn’t want to come out as needing his ego stroking. However, everyone needs reassurance and appreciation, and therefore, one of the things men want from their lovers is to be complimented.

He probably tells you nice things more often than you tell him, whether it’s for your appearance, your nice outfit, a hilarious comment you made, or a goal you scored at work. But hey, a little ego-stroking is fine. Tell him what you like about him, how much you love it when you do something, how he’s such an important part of your life, and whatever cheesy thing you want to share.

These compliments and signs of appreciation will make him feel cherished and will help him feel more confident. Moreover, the more you compliment him on his qualities, the more you’ll notice them in him.

If you feel like you’re in a rut and your dating life is no longer exciting, check out this card game. It’s nice and fun, and it will give you lots of ideas on how to spice things up.

  1. Responses to questons. When that dries up so does trust and without trust there ain’t a lot left

  2. This is such a great article. I like the points made. I love to initiate sex with my partner.

  3. What I look for is Respect, Honesty, Loyalty unless open relationship is establisted up front, Sense of Humor, Good Comunication. Someone who will attempt to join me and do what I like to do.

  4. “we” definitely do NOT need another “control freak”. The gov’t. issued one (very expensive) is enough for 4 men to have to deal with….. let alone by ourselves

  5. Not enough blatant honesty. How about incredibly great lovemaking, and I mean in every way? It’s two ways there, but most women I’ve been with prefer receiving, and that gets old sometimes.

  6. Women I’ve been with seem to just receive lovemaking than to give equally. Not enough blatant honesty in this article.

  7. Lot’s of men don’t believe in making love anymore no foreplay what so ever I’ve always felt making love should be given by both not just the men some men make all that noise thinking they’re doing something 3 minute action and that’s all you get lol it feels good to invent thing’s to spice love making stronger making each other feel good showing the love behind the feeling’s for both

  8. I have a man known him forever we knew each other 30 yrs ago I was married then now divorced, don’t never met again until 6 years ago we are like best friends he lays next to me every night he won’t touch me we never kissed , never made love, my body is screaming for him to be more emotional and loving he older I. 56 he 70 perfect health he does a lot for me he there ,what can I do to get him to be more loving to me
