Print out vouchers for 'boy movies" that he can use anytime when going out with you. If he likes to hiking, going to the beach, going wine tasting, kayaking... whatever... plan a day where you will do his favorite activity... and pack a nice picnic with his favorite foods for the trip.

Like something racy from a lingiere store. And the activities that follow-- especially if they are his favorite type of activities. Those ususually don't get turned down.

Rub his head. My guy gets all gooey when I put my hands on his scalp.

Sometimes, just pulling them aside and getting their undivided attention, then telling them just how much they mean and how much you appreciate them can mean a lot. Or a little love note stashed in an unsuspecting place... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Sometimes I write him a note in lipstick on the bathroom mirror to thank him for something with a big lipstick kiss beside it. Just telling him honestly and sincerely goes a long way!

Obviously telling him helps ;-) There's also always certain ...things...involving the aforementioned gifts "for you" and some special attention just for him. I think men often have to focus a lot on us in that department and it can be a nice relief for them not to.

princesss Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,574 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 3/18/2007	Sometimes I go out and buy a movie I know he really wants or thinks looks cool, and just have a movie night without telling him what movie or that it's now being added to his collection. Other times I bring food from his favourite restaurant home (but then, my guy doesn't like going out and having me pay...he says it doesn't feel right) and we have dinner and talk. Would he mind a present if you don't do the whole "gift giving" process? Like getting him something you know he wants and just putting it somewhere that makes sense (ie my guy likes steins (sp??) so getting him one and putting it with the rest of them). Or buying something that he loves but knows you don't like (my bf is now the proud owner of the most horrible hat I've ever seen. But he loves it and wears it all the time, and now I'm the cool girlfriend that got him the hat his friends envy and try to steal...). Or just pouncing. Sometimes, they like the pouncing. ______________________________________________ "It's hardest to love the ordinary things, she said, but you get lots of opportunities to practice." Storypeople

Sometimes I write him thank you letters or make him a thank you sign (just a piece of paper decorated with all the reasons he needs to be appreciated). Once he papered my appartment with signs he printed off the computers. "The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw." Havelock Ellis

Aloros Ideal Rock Total Posts: 872 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 5/3/2006	Maybe if you don't present it as a gift? I know I love it when my bf picks up something for me that he thinks I'd want/need. Sometimes it's just some veggies from the grocery store, once it was a set of decent knives, and another time he picked up a book for me he thought I would like. It's more "Hey, I was at the bookstore and thought you'd like this" rather than "I got you a PRESENT!" It's sweet and lets me know he's thinking of me. You could always find out what his favorite food is and cook up some dinner for him. Dress up in some cute lingerie. Draw up a bubble bath for two, give him a massage, and wash his hair (with a little scalp massage it feels sooooo good). Good luck!
