Booty shorts for women...and other signs of love!

I slipped the pink ribbon off the gift, opened the top of the box, pulled back the pink tissue paper and held up - I held up - wait a minute what is this...booty shorts!??

Valentines Day, birthday, anniversary, Christmas - all fantastic opportunities for a guy to show his lady that he KNOWS her - understands her, has paid attention to her - and sometimes, that can be a problem.
In "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", John Gray says that often the communication between a man and woman is so poor that it is like we're from 2 different planets and don't speak the same language. Frustrating for both of us.

So, back to the booty shorts - I didn't know what to think - was it a compliment that he thought I would look good in these (hadn't he heard me complaining about the 10 pounds I want to drop?) Does he think these would be comfortable for me to sit in at my desk all day (I think men hope we have something revealing under our day to day funtional work attire), or maybe this is the way he wishes I would be. But, what does it have to do with me?
How does a man buy for a woman? With care, I'd suggest because I disagree that is it the thought that counts. No, not at all - it is the action that counts and if you have not paid attention to her that gift could be so far off the mark that it could seem intended for someone else.

A woman wants to be cherished and seen as unique and know that you love her specialness. You have noticed who she is, you have heard what she has told you about who she is, you have noted her preferences (silver or gold, milk chocolate or dark chocolate, white wine or red, favorite colors, body parts to be accented and others to be camouflaged).

I completely agree with John Gray ("Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus")- to a woman the little things are just as important as the big things...and I might add - without the "little" things - the big thing, no matter how BIG the guy thinks it is - is not going to hit the mark.

A woman needs to feel love and supported, and women need many expressions of love. One or two expressions of love, no matter how important, will not fulfill her. This is not the way a man thinks and can be hard for him to understand.
The good news is that the little things are just that - little, and so easy to do - but they say "hey, I notice, I care, I cherish you." - and it needs to be said everyday.

So, until you've shown your woman how much you care about her with the little things that are important - you can put up your credit card. Start with: giving her a hug and kiss as soon as you get home every evening; put down the tv remote,look her in the eyes and ask her specific questions about her day; compliment her on how she looks; plan a date several days in advance; when you know you're going to be late call and tell her; wash her car; empty the trash without being asked; display affection in public; create occasions when you both can dress up; open the door for her; offer to shop for the groceries; verbally thank her for the things she does for you; leave the bathroom toilet seat down.
Fill up her tank with little acts of love - THEN pull out the credit card (hey, we love the BIG things too).
OK - so I gotta go.

My wonderful guy shows me all the little signs of love I need every day - so I'm going to put on those booty
shorts and make him happy too.
