It is a well-known fact that men always fall short in verbalizing their emotions or feelings to people they are close to or in love with. You really don’t need much to let your love know that you adore her. Whether you make dinner reservations at a fancy restaurant or cook a simple meal for her at home, if you just make an additional effort of penning down a few romantic words for her, write her a love note or perhaps even poetry or maybe copy some lovely quotes or an endearing thought and present it on a special handmade paper rolled like a scroll or in an embellished cover, you will have won her heart all over again!

You could come up random post-its placed all over the house or the space you plan your evening with her, which could say small, sweet and romantic things.

In addition to being verbal about your feelings, be a good listener, understand her silence, her needs, take out time to be together minus external interruptions or use of technology, be kind and considerate and share the simple joys of life together with her.
