How to make a woman feel special

I have recently run across a bizarre mentality among men, they seem to think all women are gold diggers. I don’t know where this comes from; maybe it is just the women that they meet. I am a professional woman and all of my friends are professionals and perhaps this is why I don’t see the gold digger aspect that men complain about. If I want a fancy dinner, I will go to one; I can afford it and I don’t need a man to buy it for me. This is true of all my friends too, what we do need is to be romanced. This does not require a man to spend a lot of money, but it does require some thought and time. A man can initially substitute spending a lot of money for romance, and I think this might be where the confusion lies. What all women want is to feel special, and we like men to help us feel that way. So to all you men out there, the following is a list of ways to make a woman feel special without breaking the bank.

1. Listen to her.

2. Remember the names of the important people in her life.

3. Do not act like the ONLY thing you are interested in is sex

4. Buy her little things when stopping at the gas station

5. Always say yes to the guy selling flowers in Adams Morgan

6. Plan a special event, that involves a lot of thought like a picnic in the park

7. Watch her favorite TV shows with her, even if it is Gilmore Girls and don’t make fun of it while watching

8. Like her cat/dog

16. Take her somewhere or do something that only she wants to do

17. Listen to her bitch about the same thing forever, and don’t try to fix it or her

18. Just grab her hand or put your arm around her as you are walking down the street or sitting near each other

19. When you are out and she is not having a good time, take her home in the middle of party or night of drinking even when you are having a blast
