5 Ways to Make Him Feel Wanted
By GalTime Sexpert Jane Greer, Ph.D.
When you're in a relationship, it's really typical that people have expectations of one another. When a person is not living up to your expectations, you get annoyed and, more often than not, complain and tell your partner what he/she is doing wrong, what you don't like rather than what you do like.
On the flip side, when a partner IS doing what he's 'supposed to', a lot of times we don't take the time to say thank you or show appreciation because we 'expect' something done.
There are 5 easy things you can do to make your partner feel wanted and appreciated--- and keep your relationship out of a rut.
1. The Simple 'Thank You'
If your partner does something for you to make your day easier-- even if it was expected-- take the time to say, "Thanks, I really appreciate that" because your little thank you will mean a lot on the receiving end.

2. Remember to Do What's Asked of You
So many times, I hear people say, "Oh, I forgot. I got so busy, I got so caught up". What the partner feels when that continues to happen: "Geez, I'm not even on her list" and he doesn't feel important.
3. Take the Initiative...
Let's see if you can throw him off guard and say, "Honey, why don't we head for the bedroom" or whatever it is you want to do. The goal: Surprise him and take some of the responsibility off of his shoulders.

4. Wear Something Sexy
What guy doesn't like to see his girl in something sexy? "Sexy" means different things to different people...so go by what floats your guy's boat-- a piece of lingerie or even his favorite top. Put it on and see how much it turns him on knowing that you took the time to dress up to spice things up for him.
5. Give a Compliment
If he comes in and he's looking good, LET HIM KNOW! Saying "You look really hot in that shirt" will let him know he turns you on and will make him feel sexy.
If you try some of these steps, as small as they may seem, I guarantee they will make a big difference in the way your guy is feeling and the way you're feeling together.
