    I notice bf smiles when I:

    Look at him with my "big" eyes (he's not talking about the size of my eyes, it's when I'm feeling mushy and I look up at him and my eyes just do this weird droopy thing lol)

    Cook for him (esp mexican food.. like tonight)

    When I do certain private things for him (ahem)

    When I show affection by massaging him, soothing him

    When I ask him to do something manly for me and then I show appreciation by thanking him

    After a passionate romantic kiss

    When he's been down and I encourage him

    If I brag on him to someone on the phone or a friend

    I wish more guys realised how very very very much good a hug can do for a girl.

    That warm protective hug that isnt trying to work its way up to putting anything in anything. Its seriously magic. It can settle our minds, our hearts, our rapid breathing, pounding heart, stupid hormones, any fear and all the sads.


    You dont realise how much healing power you guys hold in your arms.

    Things I love to do which seem to generate a positive reaction in the other person:

    If Im curious about something, ask them before oogling it- sometmes people that are interested in the same things as you are, have already done more research on it. Give them a chance to show off their knowledge and youll get the benefitof learnig from someone face to face and personalised to your curosity.

    Play. Every chance you get.

    Say please and thank you, this person is not your new employee and doesnt HAVE to do anything for you.

    If you notice effort on their part, start giving more of your own in return. Start a volley. Keep it going as long as you can. When someone drops the ball, its not a disaster- just a new serve.

    A smack on the *kitten* is worth a thousand words.

    Sexy eye contact across a crowded room is worth a thousand dirty words. Bonus if you are making sign language euphemisms or something with a cherry stem.

    Just like a baby, if a man is tired, sick, hungry or hasnt had any affection in too long... he will be grumpy and cranky and not in any kind of headspace to deal with your needs until his vitals are cared for.

    High fives.

    Well, I don't have a SO, hence why I'm in the single peeps group. But here's a few things I've noticed that are generally well received by the opposite sex:

    Open doors for them
    Make jokes, flirt and tease playfully
    Tell them they are pretty randomly
    Make decisions when they don't
    Listen when they say things
    Look them in the eye
    When it's their time of the month, don't say ANYTHING!
    Treat them like they are special once in a while.
    Don't fart on them (I learned this one the hard way)

    OMG, flashback to my most recent ex... a smack on the *kitten*, a few dirty words, or anything related to oral fixation was all it took to keep him smiling. I know guys appreciate the small things too, but in my experience, the key to keeping a man smiling is a lot easier... we women certainly make men work for it!

    I have to say I think it's absolutely HILARIOUS that you learned to do all those great things to make a woman smile and then would turn around and fart on her?! Well, I suppose you just need to find the ONE woman who would appreciate that, right? Good luck with that ... :noway:

    And I wonder why I'm still single. Okay that was really more for entertainment value, I've never actually farted on anyone. Dutch oven maybe.

    Booooo Hisssss

    I thought it was funny but only because I pictured you doing it. I would be madder about the Dutch oven than getting farted on. You only get dutch ovened if it sinks. lol

    Dutch Oven = Fart
    Same Difference...

    I have no theories on why you're still single, but I feel pretty safe in saying that's not why you're single (other than right after that night)....

    What? Girls don't like that either? :tongue:

    And thanks, but there are plenty of reasons why I'm single, but it's mainly because I'm pretty picky and I don't settle.

    I'm glad to see everyone is enjoying the thread. I always notice a difference in my day when she's started hers with a smile. Do you notice the contagiousness a smile has on your day?

    From my man?? YES!!!

    Of course if we hadn't been intimate before, no... but if lines have been crossed, sure, why not?

    OH HELL YES. Keep it tasteful though...unless you've already gotten to that super-dirty stage then go on ahead! :)
