Romantic Gestures For Him
Men may not be as vocal about it as women are, but most enjoy being pampered with love. Here are a few romantic gestures that can melt your man’s heart as well as give him a sneak peek into yours.
1. Offer to help:
He might be having a busy week on the job and struggling to manage between home and work.. Lend him a helping hand by hiring someone to tackle a task on his “Honey-Do” list (or by tackling it yourself). Choose something that has been causing him stress, such as fixing a leaky faucet, cleaning the gutters, or mowing the lawn. He is certain to appreciate the pressure you alleviate, and you’ll see it all over his face.
2. Cook his favorite meal:
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” the old saying still holds true. You need not whip up a five-star dish because even a simple and comforting meal, served with a smile, can make his day. It shows that you care for him.
3. Surprise him:
Big or small, a surprise shows how much we know about the other person and how much effort we are willing to put in to make them happy and put a smile on their face. For example, if your husband loves the Christmas cookies his grandmother makes, then get the recipe, bake them and surprise him. He will be impressed with your efforts.
4. Write a love letter:
There was a time when lovers would eagerly await love letters from one another. Though it might sound old school, love letters reveal emotions that we may seldom express, and they can also be the memorabilia of your epic love story.
5. Join him in his favorite sport or movie:
Your partner’s world might be so different from yours. He might be interested in sports and action movies, while you like politics and romance movies. Take out some time to understand his world by watching an action flick or a game with him. Show interest by asking questions. The more you learn, the more you may enjoy the activity. And he will enjoy spending time bonding with you.
6. Dress to impress:
Wear an outfit that you are sure he will like. When you’re going out together, put in the extra effort so that your looks match the special occasion. Remind him of what attracted him to you in the first place by being so stunning that he can’t take his eyes off you.
7. Pamper him:
Arrange a bubble bath for two with scented candles. Follow up by massaging him with aromatic oils.
8. Make your love-making more interesting:
Start by giving him hints through messages, or simple gestures. Build up the expectations, dress up to the occasion, lure him, make him want you, and then take the lead and make him ask for more.

When you’re away traveling, bringing a gift for your wife is a way of telling her that no matter where you are, she is always on your mind. Even the smallest token can be meaningful and can reassure her that you miss her.

You and your partner may be too busy to talk during the weekdays or might be seeing each other only late at night.
