against the world. Make sure to get pictures of the two of you when you're out together. hand write a note on your business card when you give it to them. It really good to meet you. Remember what their drink is without having to ask. Order in for them. Show up to their art opening soccer game, open mic night slash thing. Don't leave without saying goodbye. That shirt, perfume ring pair of shoes. They once mentioned they liked. Wear it a lot. Remember what you talked about the last time you saw each other and ask them how things turned out the next time you see each other. If they take your hand, squeeze it or run your thumb over their knuckles. text them not just to make plans. But just because dress up a little when you know you're going to see them. bring up something little that you remember they want sent to you. If they mentioned an x, or a date gone bad. Tell them that they're too good for that person. Anyway, give them a ridiculously huge tip. This only works if they're your waiter, bartender or barista. Obviously, email them because you just saw something and it made me think of you treat them to something sometime. Make up a nickname for them. be the only one who calls them that. Invent any excuse for them to come over a new movie, a sports game, a dinner party, a home repair project you really need help with be genuinely delighted every time you see them make no effort to hide it, loaned them a book that you just thought they would like, offer to hold their purse, bag, code cup. Talk about your deepest feelings. Being able to share your greatest joys and pain will deepen your relationship. When someone understands your losses, doesn't judge you for your feelings and will support you in your healing. That sounds like love to me. Just remember not to turn your partner into your therapist offered to drive them to the airport. Just talk to them about anything. Whenever you get the chance, check out that TV show movie Vande restaurant thing mentioned. Tell them what you thought of it. compliment them on something you think other people might notice about them. pass them a note during class a meeting at a crowded bar. It can be even easier to not listen properly when you have been with someone for a certain amount of time. You may not know it, but not listening properly can be really hurtful. Whether you think the topic isn't that interesting or you feel like you've heard it all already. make the effort to listen. This is the person who is supposed to mean the most to you. Why wouldn't you care what they have to say?
