How to Show Her You Care

Gentleman, have you ever wondered how to show her you care or how to let her know you are thinking of her?

Showing you care for a woman involves more than just your actions or just your words. It is a balance of consistently acting in ways that promote closeness and communicating verbally and nonverbally that you like her.

Although grand gestures, such as flowers and extravagant dates go along way, showing her you care is more about paying attention to the little things that bring her happiness and being thoughtful on a regular basis as you build a relationship together.

If you’ve ever seen the Seinfeld episode about “Independent George” and “Relationship George,” depicting George’s extreme resistance to having his social world and relationship worlds collide, you know what not to do.

He hesitates to allow Susan, the woman in his life, to hang out with his friends, avoids inviting her to join his plans and is irritated when she forms her own relationships with his social group.

As overwhelming as it can be to have your crush or girlfriend be such an important part of your life and include her in your plans, social life and other relationships, making an effort to open up your world to her signifies you care.

This is necessary when you begin to date a bit more seriously, especially if you want the relationship to progress into long-term status.

It is absolutely OK to not be ready to say those three special words.

Texting her in the morning, telling her she looks beautiful and holding the door are among the small but powerful actions that illustrate your interest and respect for her.

These spontaneous acts signify your genuine interest and keep things exciting as your relationship progresses.

Women generally consider assertiveness to be attractive and appealing. However, pushiness and aggressiveness are not, especially if she communicates that she would like you to slow down, back off or only wants to be friends.

It is essential that you carefully gauge her reactions and be aware of your timing while assessing that the level of interest is mutual.

If you are getting signs from her that you are coming on too strong or too quickly, intentionally take a step back and ensure that you are on the same page.
