How to Show a Woman That You Care


Have a special someone in mind? Wish to strengthen a friendship or relationship? Follow these simple steps to show a woman that you care for her.




Steps

  1. Pay attention to her. Every time she is speaking to you, make an effort to look her in the eyes and understand what she is saying. If you do not understand, tell her. This will show her that you are listening and would like to hear what she has to say.
  2. Be trustworthy. Prove yourself to her daily. If you give her your word that you will be there for her, follow through. How can anyone care for someone they lie to?
  3. Respect her mind, body, and soul. She is a different individual. There are many paths of life and hers may be differing from yours. Accept her and cherish her for who she is.
  4. Perform random acts of kindness. Be creative. Call her at work and tell her that you are thinking about her. Paste a note on her mirror telling her that you love her. A picture is worth a thousand words, paint her a watercolor. Leave her a flower and a sincere note.
  5. Spend quality time with her. Turning off the T.V., grabbing a blanket, and lying with her beneath the stars can mean more than expensive jewelry. Diamonds may last forever, but all you have is a lifetime.
  6. Let her know exactly how you feel. Look within. Exactly what does this woman mean to you? Write it down. Give it to her.
  7. When you are away, whether it be a business trip, or a vacation with the guys, check in with her. It's just polite! Let her know that although you're having fun, she has crossed your mind.


Tips

  • Women are different from men. While a man's focus may be on the physical aspects of a relationship, showing a woman that you respect and care for the sensual things will go a very long way.
  • Never lie to her. Lying to a woman is a sure way to lose her respect.
  • Step in and help her without being asked. Show her that you are there for her.
  • Guys are actually very sensitive when it comes down to some things, so some of this may just be common sense.
  • Read an ebook called "100 Ways to Show Your Love & Affection" by Gloria D. Heffner gives great ideas to add or keep the romance, love & affection in a relationship. The ideas can be tailored to your or your partner's personality(ies).
  • Remember women multi-task (i.e. balancing work and family)
  • Turn off the TV and turn on the romance!


Warnings

  • Be sincere in all that you do. Never do something for a woman just because you feel that you are "duty-bound." Acts of kindness must come from within, never from obligation.You can do it!

How to Sweep a Girl off Her Feet

You don't need to look like Brad Pitt or drive a Mercedes to sweep a girl off her feet. Those things, by themselves, will never work on a woman who is really worth courting. Here's how to let that special girl you've never talked to know that she's appreciated, without being creepy.

Steps

  1. Strike up a conversation. If you haven't met her yet, find something unique about her or the situation the two of you are in and say something about it. If she's a friendly person this should give you enough to talk about until you can start asking her questions to get to know her better.
  2. Find something about her that is truly special. Does she have anything about her that is unique? A subtle little quirk or feature that you find endearing, but that no one else seems to notice?
  3. Let her know that you think she's special without expecting anything (a phone number, a date) in return. If this girl is really interesting to you, there should be something far from the common that you notice. If she's good looking, she probably gets several compliments a day, so offer her one that is as unique as you believe she may be, like mentioning something about her personality. Here are some examples:

    • "Hi, I don't mean to make you feel weird or anything, but you've just got the prettiest freckles I've ever seen."
    • "Excuse me, but I can't walk out of here without telling you that you have an amazing laugh."
    She'll probably smile, say thank you, look away, and maybe even blush. Remember that even if ultimately, it doesn't work out, you've at least made her day by giving her a true compliment.
  4. Offer her your company, and walk away. That is, right before you leave, give her your phone number or screen name, or offer a time and a place to meet, and let her know that if she chooses not to take you up on your offer, you'll never bother her again. Don't give her a chance to accept or reject you. Make your offer and run. Give her a chance to think about it by herself, and wonder "Hmmm...I wonder what he's like." If you do this confidently, she'll feel compelled by her curiosity to get to know you better, and she won't feel like she's being pressured or chased. Also, the fact that she might never see you again will encourage her to follow up on any glimmer of hope she has about you being the guy of her dreams.
  5. Don't look back. If she doesn't call or show up, leave her alone. She's not interested, and if that ends up being the case, don't take it personally. However, if she does call you or meet with you, you've probably swept her off her feet! The rest depends on chemistry and compatibility. Good luck!


Tips

  • Here's an example of what you can say (if you're too nervous or busy to strike up a full conversation): "Hey, look, I've gotta go, but you seem like a really amazing person, and I'd like to get to know you better. Here's my number; call me and I'd love to take you out for a cup of coffee and talk. But if you're not interested, that's cool, too. I just didn't want to let this opportunity pass."
  • For inspiration, watch the movie 'Office Space' ('Hitch' is awesome, too as is Die Hard) and study the scene where the main character goes up to the waitress (Jennifer Aniston) and lets her know that he'll be at the restaurant next door.
  • Approaching a girl while she is with some of her friends (especially girlfriends) will make the approach much more momentous. You have chosen her out of the group and this will make her feel special before you even begin to tell her why you're there.
  • The key is to make a woman feel special and appreciated, but there's a fine line between admiration and harassment. If you cross that subtle line and make her feel uncomfortable, you've ruined your chances of sweeping her off her feet.
  • If your intentions aren't genuine, and your words aren't honest, then she WILL know. It's the way of the girls mind. But even if you get the girl at first, it's bound to end in disappointment.
  • Steps 2 and 3 will probably sweep any woman off her feet, even if you've been married for 25 years.
  • Try to walk the line between a feel-good compliment and a cheesy pick up line. Be sincere about it, but don't go over the top.
  • Remember that all girls are different, and there's no one way to make any girl fall for you. For alternative takes on making a girl get butterflies in her stomach, check out the Related wikiHows below.


Warnings

  • Be honest. Girls can't stand it when someone (anyone, not just guys) lies to them. One thing girls can't stand is when guys are fake. If a guy says, "I think you have really beautiful hair," and the girl is having a terrible hair day, the guy sounds fake and just plain stupid (unless he really means it). You need to make the girl feel special, but don't just throw compliments around if you don't mean them.
  • Don't stare at her if you aren't conversing with her (no matter how beautiful you think she is). Contrary to what some may say, staring is just creepy and rude. Stick to occasional glances, and give a small smile and perhaps a wave if you happen to catch her eye.
  • One other thing to remember is that a girl is never impressed if she knows you're trying to impress her. Don't boast. Don't come off looking all proud and superior--that's the surest way to turn her off. Be yourself!
  • Some women will NOT be impressed with you if you slip them your number or screen name and run. This can either come off as cowardly or insecure, which is very unappealing to some women. Sometimes you're better off going for it and asking for her number, or maybe suggesting she try going somewhere that you go frequently, like a coffee shop with a nice atmosphere. If she goes, you'll be able to approach her a second time.
  • Don't go overboard on the compliments. If you don't know the girl really well and give her more than say two compliments it can come off as creepy or insincere.

How to Deal With a Bad Kisser


So that new guy or girl in your life is just perfect. Kind, caring, fun, exciting--he or she has it all. Except... Oh, what a terrible kisser! From the guy who draws blood with every kiss to the girl that makes that weird clicking sound when you lock lips, bad kissers are everywhere. For many of us, kissing is a very important part of a relationship and, unfortunately, the inability to deliver a passionate kiss(or worse, the ability to deliver a disgusting kiss) can be a deal breaker, no matter how great the person is otherwise. Luckily, most bad kissers can become good kissers if you have a little patience, tact, and courage .



Steps

  1. Make up a reason to get away. The rest of this article will focus on how to deal with a bad kisser that you're in a relationship with or with whom you want to pursue a relationship , but if you're just looking for something casual and that guy or girl at the bar just gave you a horrible kiss, don't mess around. Say you're feeling tired, or you have to go with your friends. You can always say, "Yuck," but you probably don't want to offend and embarrass someone.

    • Alternatively, you can pull away from the kiss, look the person in the eyes, and say something like, "This is how I like a kiss." Then kiss that person as you would want to be kissed. You may offend the person, and that's why you need a little more patience if you're already in a relationship with someone you care about, but if you want a quick tip that will either work or get rid of someone, that's it.
  2. Figure out what it is that you don't like. Before you can encourage good kissing, you need to figure out what makes a kiss good for you. This can be difficult, because we generally like different kinds of kisses at different times. If you have a hard time defining a good kiss, you probably won't have too much trouble determining what you don't like about your partner's kissing style. Think about it, and identify the real problems so you can coach your partner along. If you do end up having to talk to him or her about it, you don't want to just say, "you're a bad kisser." You want to offer constructive input.

    • Is the person really a bad kisser, or are you just used to something else? Especially when people get out of long-term relationships and start anew, they may miss the way their ex kissed them. Just because somebody doesn't kiss you exactly like your old flame did, however, doesn't mean that he or she isn't good at kissing. Keep an open mind and, as long as you're not disgusted, give it a little time. You may come to like the way your new partner kisses.
    • Look within. Do you really like the person? If you don't feel passion for a person, anything they do can seem wrong. If you're still hung up on an old boyfriend or girlfriend, or if you're just not into someone, you have bigger issues to deal with.
  3. Set a good example. Try to kiss the person like you want to be kissed. Kissing is an interactive experience, and each partner needs to follow the other's lead at some time. When it's your turn to lead, make it count. This can be an especially useful technique if your partner doesn't have much kissing experience or isn't sure he or she is doing it right.
  4. Give your partner signals. When your partner kisses you in a way that you really don't like, don't be afraid to pull away.Use body language, and hope he or she gets the hint. Even more importantly, when your partner does something you like, let him or her know. Moan softly, hold them closer, melt in his or her arms--send out signals that he or she is getting it right. Most bad kissers aren't bad all the time, so you should have opportunities to reward them for a job well done. Keep reinforcing what you like and discouraging what you don't, and your bad kisser may become a good kisser without you ever having to say a word about it.
  5. Tell the person what you like. Signals aren't working? Suppose you want your partner to kiss you more passionately. Try telling him or her that you love it when he or she kisses you like they really want you. Say it even if they don't actually do what you like. Just telling the person what you like will reinforce that idea in his or her head. If that doesn't work, encourage experimentation. If you see a great kiss in a movie, for example, mention that you'd really like to try kissing like that. Be as specific as you feel you need to be.
  6. Have a talk.When subtle hints fail, it's time to bring it out in the open. This is an uncomfortable talk to have, but if you care about the relationship you have to do it, for both of you. Communication is essential to any relationship, so don't be afraid to tell the person how you feel. Be tactful about it, though, and compliment your partner on what he or she does right. Don't make blanket statements. Instead, address specific issues so that your partner will know you're not just being mean and so he or she can actually work on improving.
  7. Break Up.If nothing else works, you're left with two choices: lower your standards or break up with the bad kisser. If the person is wonderful in all other respects, and if kissing just isn't that important to you, just live with it. If, however, you really need a good kisser, you have to end the relationship. If you really try to communicate your needs early in the relationship, but the person still doesn't adapt, they probably won't be responsive to your needs in other areas either, and they won't likely make a good long-term partner for you anyway. It's hard to break up with someone, but remember that you'll be better off and, hopefully, that person will also finally take the hint and become a better partner for someone in the future.


Tips

  • Be Proactive. Don't wait for months or years to address the kissing problem. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to bring it up and the harder it will be for your partner to change his or her ways.
  • A good way to open the door to communication is to ask them if there's anything YOU can do better or anything they'd like you to try. a) You might just learn something and b) they may very well follow with asking you the same question. Even if they don't, people are usually a little more receptive when you're not coming across as superior. Say, "I love it when you do this..." but "I'm not sure how I feel about..."
  • Maybe you're not such a good kisser yourself. At the very least, you may not kiss your partner exactly like he or she would like. Try to beperceptive of your partener`s body language and subtle hints, and be responsive. This will help you to communicate openly and to get what you want. What's more, you may be a bad kisser without even knowing it, but you, too, can break the habit.
  • The first kiss can make a big impression, and some people aren't willing to even try to develop a relationship with a bad kisser. If you're one of these people, keep in mind that bad kissing doesn't have to be a lifelong affliction if you're willing to help your partner out. If you dismiss someone because of one bad kiss, you could be missing out on a great relationship. That said, it is sometimes the case that bad kissing is just a symptom of a person who won't be a responsive, attentive partner anyway, and he or she may be just as bad at other important things as well. Try to consider how much kissing experience the person has. If you can chalk up the bad kissing to inexperience, there's probably hope, but if the person has had plenty of time and partners to figure it out, you're probably at a dead end.
  • Next time you're in front of your computer with your partner, casually decide to look at some wikiHow articles. Check out a variety of things, and then have a look at some articles on kissing, like How to Kiss or How to French Kiss. Don't let on why you want to look at the articles, and have fun reading them together, joking, and kissing. This is a great opportunity to mention things you like or don't like.
  • Encourage what you like. When you receive a particularly good kiss, pause for a moment to say so: "MmmM.. I want some more of THAT!" and "Oooo... That was soOo good! It makes me feel..." are good starters.
  • Have fun! Be playful! Kissing does not have to be a serious experience. Giving your partner an exaggerated version of his/her style of kiss may help him/her to realize what it is he/she is doing wrong and a reason for both of you to laugh which can work out to be an intimate moment, pleasant memory and a means of easing the tension of learning your likes/dislikes.
  • It might be so that the quality of the kiss varies according to the situation you and your partner are in at the moment. If your partner is shy in public, then a public kiss might not be as fulfilling as one in private. Other actions (including sex) might cause your partner's attention to be directed away from the Kiss, and thus cause it to deteriorate in quality. Either way, decide which is more important and focus on improving that aspect.


Warnings

  • Always be tactful and nice about telling someone what you like and don't like about their kissing. This can be a very sensitive subject, and your partner may become anxious or feel threatened or hurt--sometimes to the point that he or she will want to break up with you.
  • If you train someone to kiss, be sure to leave some room for experimentation. If you tell a responsive partner exactly what you like and are too rigid in this, you may find that you always get kissed the same way, which can be boring.


How to Hint for a Kiss from a Guy


In most societies around the world, it's traditionally up to the guy to initiate a couple's first kiss.If you're a girl, this takes a lot of pressure off you, but sometimes it can be frustrating if you want to be kissed but your guy is a little too shy to try to kiss you. Here's how to hint that you would like to be kissed.













Steps

  1. Be inviting.Because of respect for your wishes (and the fear of rejection) a guy generally won't try for a first kiss unless he's pretty sure you want him to. If you do, you should try to make him feel confortable and confident.Flirt with him, laugh at his jokes, smile a lot, and compliment him. If you put him at ease and let him know you enjoy being with him, he'll usually find the courage to try to kiss you.
  2. Break the "touch barrier." Touch him lightly on the arm or shoulder when you're talking. Just make it a quick, innocent touch and don't make a big deal out of it. Holding hands is also a good way to break the touch barrier. The simple act of touching can strengthen the intimacy between you and him. Sometimes a guy will break the touch barrier, and if you're comfortable with him doing so, touch him back. But don't wait for a guy to make the first move here, because girls can generally get away with breaking the touch barrier earlier in a relationship than guys can.
  3. Look to his lips. When you're alone with a guy and want to be kissed, make eye contact and then move your gaze briefly down to his lips. Then move your eyes back up to meet his and smile demurely. You don't have to be really obvious about it. Many guys will take the hint, especially if they've read one of the many articles that lists this as a sign that a girl wants to be kissed. If it doesn't work the first time, try again when the time is right.
  4. Move in. You have to be close to each other to kiss, and the less distance a guy has to travel to kiss you, the easier it is for him to give it a try. So get close. When the moment seems right, put your face close to his and look at him expectantly. If you're brave, you could try moving in as though you're going to kiss him. Hopefully he'll take the hint and kiss you, but if he doesn't you can give him a playful little kiss on the cheek.
  5. Talk about it. If the guy isn't taking your subtle hints, bring up kissing in conversation. For example, if you're watching a movie together and see an on-screen kiss, mention that it's "so romantic" or something to that effect. If the guy is really shy, you might just want to put it on the line and tell him that you'd like him to kiss you.
  6. Kiss him.There's no law that says the guy has to initiate the kiss, and some guys--especially if they've never kissed a girl before--just won't take your hints. If you want to kiss him, just go ahead and do it.


Tips

  • Send him a wikiHow article that explains how to hint for a kiss. Hopefully he'll take the hint.
  • Try smoothing out his moustache, lightly touching his lip ring or wiping away an imaginary strand of hair from his face. While doing that purposefully look at his lips and compliment them, but only offhandedly without being too obvious.
  • If the guy seems to be talking a lot, especially if he's talking quickly, he could be nervous because he's thinking about kissing you. In this case, an old trick is to tell him, "You talk too much." Say it playfully and with a smile, and maybe even briefly put your finger to his lips as though you're "shushing" him. And then kiss him lightly on his lips and pause for a moment; at this point the two of you should be really close and he will most probably initiate a kiss.
  • One way to get a guy to move closer is to pretend to shake as though you're cold. If he doesn't snuggle up to you, you then have a good excuse to snuggle up to him.
  • Don't be too heartbroken if you don't get a kiss. The guy may just not be ready yet, or he may not like you in that way.
  • Sometimes the first kiss can be a bit disappointing, especially if a guy doesn't have any kissing experience. If your guy can't kiss well, read about how to deal with a bad kisser.
  • Men are often afraid of crossing the line because they are not sure if they have read the hints right! It can be easier for all (after building up the mood!) if you are clear about what you want, no hinting, no hidden meanings etc. Put your hands around his waist and say "I want to kiss you now" or something similar.
  • If your watching a movie with a romantic point in it..and you are comfortable with the touching him, then softly brush your finger tips over his cheek bone while drawing his face near yours. make eye contact with him if possible and he should get the hint.


Warnings

  • Telling a guy he talks too much may result in you annoying him. If he likes to talk, or thought he was actually trying to have a conversation with you, and is TOTALLY oblivious to what you are trying to do, he may take offense, and think that you don't care about what he has to say. Use this technique with caution.
  • Never feel pressured to go farther than you want to go. It's OK to just want a kiss, and you can and should say "no" to anything that makes you uncomfortable. Remember also to respect the guy's wishes if he just doesn't want to kiss you.
  • If your kiss isn't as romantic as you had hoped, don't worry! Lots of people have awkward beginnings to relationships. If this is the big one, then you'll have plenty more opportunities for kissing (in other words, it doesn't have to be perfect).
  • Many guys view hints as overly complicated, especially in this day and age of sexual harassment lawsuits. Often, the best approach is to come right out and say it.


Have a First Kiss

Are you ready to be kissed? Is there a special someone that you like? If you have never kissed before, it can be a daunting challenge. This article will help you find the right moment.

Talk to the person and get closer and when you are kissing distence away stop talking and kiss


Girls

  1. Lean your head on their shoulder as if you are about to fall asleep. Look up at them - if their hand goes around to let you in, go for the kiss. If not or their eyes do not linger upon your face or mouth, they are not ready.
  2. Relax and be at ease about it all. If they do not go for the kiss, accept it and don't push.


Tips

  • Keep in mind that many are shy about kissing--but this doesn't mean they don't want to kiss you. Pay attention to body language. If you think your someone might be suffering from this ailment, try kissing them! Just be mindful of their reaction. If they pull away, or are angry, be mature about it, and don't take it personally. Maybe you should try again later
  • The fastest way to have a first kiss is just to get close to the person and kiss them. Most people won't complain. However, it is more fun if you spend an intimate evening with that person first.
  • If you don't mind having an impersonal first kiss, join in on a game ofTruth or Dare. The most popular dare is to kiss someone. Be warned though: you may end up kissing someone you don't much fancy (unless you get a friend to dare your crush to kiss you). The same is true for Spin the Bottle.
  • Don't change for them - stay the same.
  • Avoid kissing straight-on, noses may get in the way.
  • Keep your eyes closed during a first kiss. It will be awkward to be cross-eyed looking at them while kissing. Also, it is rude to have your eyes open during a kiss. It might put the wrong message across, and make your partner think you are criticizing his kissing.


Warnings

  • Make sure you don't have any food stuck in your teeth.
  • Make sure your breath smells good.
  • Watch out for mono (mononucleiosis) or HSV-1 known as oral herpes.
  • Make sure the person you are about to kiss does not have things in their teeth.
  • Keep in mind, that it might taste a bit mushy at first, but you'll get used to it.
  • Don't kiss anyone if they have a cold sore or something else around their mouth area it could be a sign of oral herpes.
