Show Appreciation

LegacyUser

Well, just looking for some advice here.

My girlfriend currently lives with her parents and they are about to go on holidays for 10 days, therefore my girlfriend will have the house all to herself. I am currently sharing with some friends, but for the 10 days I will be moving in with her.

Now, here is the part I want some advice on.

I know myself and she has mentioned it once or twice, but really does not made a big deal about it. I am a shy person, but once I get to know a person........., I think we all know that type of person.

However, when we are out in public, like I do hold her hand, etc, but I would not be into eating the face off her or the like.

I do love, been together almost 1.5 years.

So, as we are going to be living together for the next 10 days, how can I show that I really show I love her and appreciate her - I want to do something special for her.

Well for a start you could cook her dinner on the first night, candles, nice wine, or if the weather is good and she has a nice garden set the table out there. Make sure that she doesn't have to lift a finger to help, give her a glass of wine and let her relax until you the dinner is ready. Do a few courses to make it seem like an occasion. If there is any food that she particularly likes or that you know she has had in a restaurant and really loved, try to include that. Throw on some music by her favourite band in the background. Also make sure that you do all the washing up and return the kitchen to it's previous state after you have finished.

That's a start anyway. Are your working hours similar? You could also make a decent effort with the house work while she is out. Lots of small things will be appreciated I imagine.

Oh also, you could make sure to make her breakfast in the mornings. Yes these are all a bit food related... but my girlfriend once did the dinner thing for me when I was living at home and my family were away and it was amazing.

Ah all this romance is great...it's putting me in a good mood. Fair play, OP!

I've no advice really but yep, make her dinner, breakfast in bed as the previous poster said. Anything food related. I'm no good at cooking myself and not sure what your skills are like so keep it simple if you're a disaster.

Maybe run her bath with lots of bubbles....cosy nights in with DVDs...just be affectionate (behind closed doors) and loving...any little romantic gesture is amplified by a million when it comes from someone you love so no need to feel pressure to go way over the top.

Have a great time OP!

I'd say cook her dinner, do a breakfast in bed, and maybe run her a bath... I'd be overwhelmed with any of those lovely things!

OP, if you live in Dublin you should wander into Lush - they have amazing bathy things in there. Chat to one of the sales reps, they'll help you pick out a bath bomb (for bubbles and fizz) and a massage bar for fun afterwards!

Hi OP..

Flowers.

Keep the place tidy, especially your stuff - you'd be surprised how important this is to a girl.

A bit of housework while you are there - a man doing housework for a woman is almost as good as foreplay.

All the best.

i agree with shellybo - little things like making dinner, or lunch, curling up beside her with a cup of tea and just watching tv, having a nice bubblebath for her. Things like that i love:)most girls do too
