Most men think women and romance are complicated
Most men think women and romance are complicated.
Well, here is a simple checklist that might make little sense to you, but makes her feel loved, supported, and safe.
1. Text her when you think of her.
Not “how’s your day” but “That song you like came on.” “Just thought of your smile.” “I just remembered how beautiful you looked in that red dress
”. It takes 5 seconds, but she’ll smile the rest of the day.
2. When she’s stressed, don’t fix it.
Just say, “I got you. Tell me everything.” Then actually listen. Don’t give her solutions. Give her your eyes.
3. Touch her when there’s no goal.
A hand on her back. A kiss on the forehead. A hug from behind while she’s cooking. It’s affection without agenda.
4. Notice the details.
When she wears something new. When she changes her tone. When she sighs. Noticing is how she knows you’re there.
5. Pick something small and take charge.
Dinner. Groceries. A plan for Friday night. Not by asking “what do you want to do?” but by saying “be ready at seven.”
6. Tell her what you love about her.
Not “you’re beautiful.” Be specific. “I love the way you light up when you talk about what you care about.”
7. Be steady when she’s emotional.
Don’t take it personally. Don’t try to calm her down. Just breathe slower, stay grounded, and let her know she’s safe to feel. Most women are terrified of being ‘too much’. Make her feel safe.
8. Protect her peace.
It could be as small making her tea without being asked. Or do something on her ‘to do list’ if she is stressed. She notices. Every time.
9. Praise her in public.
Talk about her with pride when she’s not around. Let her hear it later from someone else. It’ll mean more than anything you could say directly.
10. Make her laugh.
Even when she’s mad. Especially when she’s mad. Playfulness melts walls faster than logic ever will.
You don’t need to be perfect. At all, really.
You just need to be consistent.
Because for a woman, love is felt in how you show up, again and again, in the smallest ways that tell her: she’s safe, seen, and deeply loved.
Oh, and tell her you love her, at least once a day. They tend to forget for no reason at all. It’s your job to remind them.
