20 ways to celebrate your date

Who doesn’t like being appreciated? Instead of waiting for a reason to show our dates how much we appreciate them, let’s just do it! Even the simplest gestures go a long way toward making the person you’re seeing feel great about dating you. “The foundation of a loving relationship is mutual appreciation and respect,” says Jill Spiegel, author of The Flirtologist’s Guide To Dating. “Celebrating the person you’re dating makes your connection healthy, loving and positive.”

Here are 20 ways to do it:

1. Put it in writing: Edie Rather, author of Sex for the Soul says, “A handmade card means much more than an expensive gift. It is the thought that counts!”

2. Go out and buy something you know your date wants, but hasn’t gotten around to purchasing.

3. “My girlfriend never has time to pay bills or pick up dry cleaning, so I always offer to handle that for her,” notes Dom Patterson of Newark, NJ.

4. Get an autographed picture of your date’s all-time favorite movie star, author or sports figure.

5. Patti Henry, author of The Emotionally Unavailable Man: A Blueprint for Healing, advocates simply paying attention. “Those who listen get to have deeper, more meaningful connections. If you show a genuine interest, they will go to a deeper level of sharing with you.”

6. At your date’s place and getting ready to leave? Follow this tip from Dimitri Petrushka of Boston, MA: “I put a cute note on her pillow.”

7. Find out your date’s favorite childhood meal and fix some surprise comfort food.

8. Terri Orbuch, Detroit’s “Love Doctor,” says, “Call your date’s voicemail at work and leave a wonderful message in the a.m. so when they get in, that is the first thing the person hears.”

9. “Write a love letter,” suggests Steve Peters of Issaquah, WA. “Tell her not what you like about her, but how and why what you like makes your life better.”

10. Get his or her car washed and detailed, then fill the tank.

11. Victoria Michaels Rogers, author of Finding a Man Worth Keeping, advises, “Flatter your date with genuine, specific flattery, not superficial generic words. Everyone is positively affected by genuine flattery and will come back for more.”

12. Send flowers—even to men. Not your style? Send a bouquet of balloons.

13. “It’s corny, but call or email when you think about your date during the day,” notes Nancy Tarczinski of Atlanta.

14. “I always check in after one of our dates—I let her know I’m looking forward to seeing her again,” says Dave Steuben of Queens, NY.

15. Jackie Woods, author of Soul mate or Cell-mate: A Guide to Healthy Relationships, suggests making a scrapbook of special shared times.

16. Spend some quiet time together, lying on the couch or sitting by the fire.

17. “Every once in a while I just look her deep in the eyes and tell her I’m glad I found her,” relates David Herrera of Austin, TX. “It seems to do the trick.”

18. Make a small sacrifice: “Every so often I go bowling with a date, even though I don’t really enjoy it,” notes Pamela Angelo of Sarasota, FL. “I get a kick out of seeing him have so much fun.”

19. “Say it with baked goods,” says Karen Ellsworth of Columbia, SC. “I sent a gourmet pound cake to my man’s office. It not only showed him I cared, but his co-workers, too.”

20. Language expert Steve Peha says that sometimes the simplest and most direct approach is the most effective: “Express your appreciation face-to-face in a way the other person can’t discount. Give your date a compliment that focuses on you instead of on them. Say something like, ‘When I’m with you, I feel .

This way he or she can’t demur or shake off the compliment.”
Using any of these tips will ensure that your date always feels honored, respected and valued.

                ********** 

A wife asked her husband: "What do you like most in me  my pretty face or my body?"

He looked at her from head to toe and replied: "I like your sense of humor.

Sometimes I feel that I wanna be in a dark room with a light of a soft candle n do nothing but only cry till getting tired, or being on a high mountain n do nothing but screaming. sometimes I feel that I've no place to go, no one to talk with,n feel that I wanna do anything to let my feelings out, even I feel that I've no ability to write what I exactly feel n don't to know how to express that.

I've to sleep on an exact time, to wake up with the same way, to care about others feelings, to be the girl with the smiley and happy face, I've no right to plane to my future for a silly reasons, and I've to accept that cos there's no right to object. I've to be understandable person, to be the one who have no problems just because I'm 24  years old,Oh!! I still young have nothing to bother me. I've to perfect at my job n my home, am I an  angle? should I be the perfect one?!

I'm not an angle, n no one is perfect. Let me tell u about me, if u really don' know who am I.

I'm a very simple one, with a very simple requirements. I care for all people around me, and I'm ready to pay all my life time trying to make those people very happy , n help them in their hard times.

I'm a very sensitive n romantic one, I couldn't bear seeing a baby's tear, or seeing anyone of people I car for n I love, sad for a little while.

I'm very good at listening to other people, I think I'm a good daughter, good sister, n good friend. I do all my best to be a successful one in my work , n my new coming life.

And now wht?!i'm just asking u for only one thing holding a lot of things inside it "I'm just  a human being" which mean:

I'm not perfect & no one is.

I'm 24 years old, but I'm a reliable & responsible one, I've to think about my futures and how to achieve my goals, and once I fail, it means that I've a problem to deal with and to think about.

I've feelings to donate & to be taken into others consideration, I'll lie if I said that I don' want these feelings to be back, may be I accept the delay of this but not for ever

I've the right to be sad or mad, I've all the right to express my feelings & my reactions without blaming me on that.

You've to treat me as I treat u, not better than I do ,just as I do.

Let me asking u about ur feelings if we change our places:

If u feel that I've other interests in my life & you aren't one of them?

If u need me n I wasn't there for you?

If u reached by our relations to the way of guessing" will she answer me calls, or will she call me now? is she really care about me??!

If u really mad of me ,trying hard to encourage yourself to take an action with me and suddenly u discovered that u couldn't take any actions? just because u loving' me.

If  u wanna share ur feelings,ur plans with me , n I always have no time for this, or I don't care about it?

Is that make any sense for you? it does for me.

I know that we love each other, but I know that I love u more than u can imagine n I like that cos the fragrance always stays in the hand that give the rose& I'm not asking for the equality in our emotions cos I believe that every one of us has his own way to express his love, but I'm asking u to rearrange ur priority, n to remember that life is family, friends, future n love. U know I really proud of loving u much more & I enjoy this feeling so much.
