7 Affectionate Things Your Partner Appreciates More Than Hearing ‘I Love You’

Men may be less interested in verbal expressions of affection and prefer to see things done for them rather than hear them said. Be sure to understand what your partner likes.

Affection

There are various ways to convey affection to your partner other than saying ‘I love you. When men realize they have your undivided attention, they feel so special.

Here are some beautiful ways to show your affection other than saying ‘I love you’:

1. Be an active listener

Even if the topic is not about something that strikes you as emotionally meaningful, just be an active listener. Having a conversation is emotionally meaningful for men.

Politics, sports, etc. These topics can make him feel as close to you as you do to him when he shares his emotions.

2. When you’re together, don’t ignore him.

Show your partner that he is your first priority by giving him your complete attention. Spend time together without interruptions when you are together.

Avoid looking at your phone, or diverting your focus away from him. Pay attention to what he says and does. Maintain eye contact, clasp hands, and simply give him your undivided attention. This is a great way of showing affection to your partner.

3. Allow him to have some “Guy Time”

You are your partner’s best friend, as he is likely to profess after a couple of beers. But sometimes he wants to go out with someone who won’t roll her eyes when he misbehaves.

The upkeep of the home is a shared job, yet many women take it for granted when men perform mundane duties in their absence. Men also have more energy for extra tasks, so if you have one in your life, remember to thank him for his good deeds and express your gratitude. Gratitude will bring positive energy into your connection.

5. Put on that dress he adores.

Putting on that dress, no matter how long you’ve been together, conveys the message that you still care about how you appear. Seeing you in that sultry gown shows him how much you want him.

6. Take care of yourself

Stress reduction, healthy diet, exercise, quitting smoking, and even treating yourself are ways to show him you care. This conveys that you want to have a long, beautiful life with him.

7. Give him a compliment

Genuine comments on his appearance and strength affirm that you appreciate him, which equals to love. Mention how much you enjoy having such a strong man around.
