6 Little Gestures To Show Him Just How Much You Care

You fell in love with him because he had the sexiest smile and was driven and passionate about excelling at work. Now that you’re with him, it’s easy to let those cute sweet gestures you did when you first started dating fall to the wayside. But incorporating regular easy little gestures will help you ensure that he knows you love him, even when you’re at odds or things are rough.

One thing that’s also important to learn is what your man’s love language is. Popularized in the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, knowing his love language-whether it be acts of service or spending quality time together-allows you to know exactly how to keep his 'love tank' full. If he loves getting back rubs and you’re complimenting him all the time, he may not actually feel loved, even if you’re doing everything you can to show him that.

# Compliment him

Tell him he still turns you on. Tell him how much you appreciate that he edged and cut the lawn. Send him a sweet text message telling him how proud you are that he’s putting in long hours at work to try to secure a promotion.

# Touch him

Whether it’s a casual grope when no one is looking or a long hug before you leave for work, do it. Hold his hand. Touch his arm. Give him a foot rub or back rub. Sex is included in this too, but sex is so much more than just the physical act. It can be all of those little things you do to show you desire him and want to be physically near to him.

# Surprise him with tickets to a concert or a mini-vacay

While these may not always be possible, it shows you listen. It shows you care. It shows you want to spend some good quality time with him and he matters.

# Bring his favorite meal to him at work

If your man is working crazily, he may forget to eat, so send something to him when you know things are stressful so he doesn’t have to worry about it.

# Pre-heat or pre-cool his car for him

On those cold or super hot days, nothing is nicer than getting into a car that’s already regulated the temperature. While he’s getting ready for work or heading out for the gym or the golf course, step out and just turn his car on so he can get in comfortable.

# Wear his favorite outfit for him

It’s easy to fall into the sweatpants routine when you’re in the middle of a relationship, so make an effort to slip on his favorite dress or don one of his button-downs. Whether you’re going out or staying in, he’ll appreciate the effort.
