“I've never been married, though I was engaged once back in college ...but that ended back in 2001. I'll be completing my masters Dec. 2008. While I'd like to complete my ten years where I'm working at now (after I graduate it'll only be 2.5 years left)... for the right guy, I'd be willing to move before then.”
“I like to enjoy the finer things in life with my special lady. I like to travel, I like the outdoors, fishing, boating ( I can sail and power boat etc ). I like films and trivia, an expert at Jeopardy etc. I enjoy cooking, and fine food. I am an excellent photographer, I also have been published as a writer, in major magazines.”
Saying "I love you” doesn’t necessarily mean an extravagant night on the town, two dozen long stem roses or serious bling. Here are some everyday ways to show your partner you are thinking of them!

1) Love Notes
It takes 30 seconds to jot down those sweet nothings on a yellow Post-it. Stick it on the bathroom mirror or the refrigerator door before you leave the house for the day ... it will put a smile on your sweetheart’s face and start their morning off right.
2) Groove is in the Heart
Jump online and download a collection of your honey’s favorite tunes. Assemble them onto a CD and think of your very own clever album title.
3) Snack Attack
Surprise your significant other with their favorite guilty pleasure. It’s the simple things in life that ramp up our happiness factor, so whether it’s a peppermint patty, a vanilla latte or the occasional Krispy Kreme doughnut, paying attention to your partner's likes really means a lot to them.
4) Breakfast in Bed
Wake up Saturday morning and whip up a batch of blueberry pancakes or even some freshly squeezed orange juice, then deliver the goodies with a smile to your resting mate (but please, let them sleep in a bit first!).
5) Book Club
Does your guy or gal have a passion for vampire novels or science fiction? Browse through the bookstore on occasion and pay attention to what they are checking out when you shop together. Then, pick up a title or two when they're not looking!
6) The Human Touch
A fabulous foot massage or back rub can ease away the tensions of the day and be a great way to reconnect. Light a few candles, put on some relaxing music and enjoy a quiet evening decompressing together.
7) Day Pass
Create a homemade coupon that entitles your loved one to an afternoon off from carpooling, babysitting, house cleaning or the usual chores. They will appreciate it more than you know.
I am just like every other woman and I love to get all that has been mentioned on this thread. But I also give as good as I get.
I buy flowers for him.
I will write on the mirror so when he takes his hower he sees my note.
And guys like to feel appreciated as much as we do. Tell him thank you for working so hard for you.
I give a mean back rub and I will offer after he has spend all day out in the yard, working on the car, or being the handyman.
Anything that he can offer to you, you can give back to him in your own special way.
I would love a woman to do these things for me....(flowers I'm not so sure, but I might take her up on letting me take my hower...if I think what I think it is [img]http://advice-static.eharmony.com/library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif[/img])
When I'm getting to know someone better, I usually ask: [i]WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAMFLAVOR[/i]? Or if the lady isn't fond of ice cream, I'll ask: [i]WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF CANDY...MILK CHOCOLATE, DARK CHOCOLATEOR VANILLA?[/i] After she tells me, I'll usually surprise her with her preference.
Actually...most of the women I've met usually like one or both! Whether this leads to love or lust depends upon how satisfied the lady is once she's finished! [img]http://advice-static.eharmony.com/library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif[/img]

hello, these ways are like 123 to me this is my way ,so if you already have the know how and your partner is not helping you with your needs .then how do u keep on keeping on without feeling like its all in vein? because iam not like a light switch you cant just turn me on and off like that,so dose that mean love dont live there anymore? or is he or she to comfortable with knowing that they got you where they want you, it just dont stop there and if i stop what I do then is going to be hell to and tell the cap.and you know that ladies were the capt.so really its all about how much one person can take male or female.
