Any day of the week can have that touching Valentine's Day vibe. Your girlfriend deserves a little something special outside of the holiday calendar. Sprinkle a little unexpected love on your honeybee with these heartfelt ways to make your girlfriend feel special.
How to Make Your Girlfriend Feel Special
Girls love it when their partners are willing to go that extra mile. The good news is it's not that hard to know how to make your girlfriend feel special. If you really like her, making her feel special will come naturally and you'll want to do anything that puts a smile on her face. But, you might still need some pointers, especially if you really want your gesture to stand out. These are some of our favorite ways to make her feel good.
Give Her Sincere Compliments
Try to compliment her on more things than just her appearance. She'll love it when you compliment things like her sense of humor, kindness, and intelligence. Let her know you think she's gorgeous inside and out and she'll melt in your arms.
Pepper in Some Romantic Quotes
Gather up the best cute love quotes you can find and create a little collage using word magnets on your fridge or strips of paper on her bulletin board. If your relationship is fairly new, try using new relationship quotes to capture the spirit of your feelings toward her. Make her feel special with quotes that match your relationship type.
Notice the Details
There's no better way to make a girl feel special than to give her what she needs without having to ask for it. This means you have to really watch things like her body language and the smallest details, such as whether she might be twirling her hair and flirting with you because she wants a kiss, or if she has goosebumps and needs to borrow your jacket.
If you can anticipate and fulfill her needs, she'll be so appreciate of your thoughtfulness.
Send Her a Heartfelt Poem
It can be especially difficult to make her feel special in a long-distance relationship. Grab some local postcards or cute stationery and mail her a poem about long-distance love. You can also substitute song lyrics for the poem if that's more your style.
It takes a fair bit of effort to put together a mailing and patience to wait for her to receive it, but that will show her the value you've placed on her.
Give Her Thoughtful Gifts
Being treated like you're special isn't just about the big expensive gifts, but also the little ones. Some of the best gifts are unplanned, spontaneous outings, picking wildflowers for her, and giving her one of your t-shirts to wear to bed at night. Sentimental gifts like jewelry from a trip you've taken together or things that will help her remember a great date night with you are also great gift ideas.
Giver Her Attention & Really Listen
Even though you might not relate to everything she's saying, there's nothing like a kind nod and acknowledgment of her feelings to make your girlfriend feel special. Try giving her your focused and absolute attention just for a few minutes and you'll be amazed at how much she appreciates it. Turn off your phone or keep it in the other room so you can give her all of your attention. She'll likely also want to hear what you have to say in return.
Plan Her a Surprise Party
One sure way to make your girlfriend feel special on her birthday is by throwing a surprise party. Look for a venue she loves and secretly invite all her best friends. Hosting this special night with her in the spotlight shows your thoughtful side and makes her feel great.
If she's particularly shy or hates surprises, plan a surprise date night at home for the two of you with her favorite foods, music, and activities.
Give Her Some Extra Affection
Sometimes, the best thing to do is to let your body do the talking. From sweet romantic kisses to saucier embraces, there are so many ways to communicate your love using affection.
Put Photos of Her on Display
Putting a picture of the two of you on the desktop of your computer screen or a framed picture in your bedroom or office is a subtle way to show your girlfriend that you're proud to call her yours. In this way, she knows she is on your mind even when you're not together. It's important not to go overboard with photos, but just to add a touch of you two together here and there.
Send Her a Sweet or Funny Text
Show your girlfriend how special she is over text with a few choice words. When you can't be with your girlfriend, a sweet text message lets her know you care and are thinking of her. If you know your girl is feeling down, you could try to lighten her mood with a funny text. Whether it's a clever message or a simple "I love you" text, she'll appreciate the effort you made even on the busiest of days.
Inject Difficult Situations With Humor
No relationship is without its difficulties. Put your own frustrations aside and cut through the tension with a funny joke or lighthearted meme. Remind your girlfriend that you're always on her side — even in the hard times — with a humorous gesture.
A little Effort Goes a Long Way
You chose your girlfriend for so many reasons, and sometimes you need to remind her of what those are. Whether she's been having a difficult time lately or you've been feeling distant, there's no better time to reconnect and shower her with love than now.
