You're living with an honest to goodness lady now. This means that you're going to have to ditch some of your more brutal masculine habits such as refusing to shower for days, refusing to wear pants, and letting your face grow out into a hideous tangle of hair. If you keep your body clean and groomed, she'll have a hard time keeping her hands off of it.
9. Draw Her A Bath
The bathtub is one of the most romantic household locales. Ensure that it's clean, then draw her a hot bath and add bath beads or some bubbles. If all goes well, she'll invite you to dip your toes in. And even if she doesn't, you just got an hour or so to fix her something sweet for when she gets out. This one truly is win-win.
8. Pack Her Work Lunch For Her
Surprise her by making a lunch that she can take to work. It's an opportunity to be both thoughtful and romantic, since you can also slip in a love note or a flower. Furthermore, you can buy an individual slice of cake or pie from the grocery store and toss it in there.
7. Make Her Breakfast in Bed
A classic gesture, breakfast in bed is the proverbial "oldie but goodie." Get up early on a Saturday or Sunday morning and prepare breakfast just the way she likes it. Then surprise her by serving it to her in bed.
6. Give Her Regular Massages
She comes home from a horrendous day at work; she's exhausted and in a terrible mood. So what do you do? A smooth man would offer her a massage, so do it. Use aromatherapy oils, focus on her neck and back, and the areas that tend to tense up under stress. Your first instinct will likely be to spend a weird amount of time on your favorite parts of her. Trust us, fight this urge. This massage is for her, not for you. You can create a sexy mood, however, by dimming the lights and lighting candles. If you're lucky, prolonged favorite-part-touching will follow.
5. Be Happy To Come Home To Her
Yes, it's corny and clichéd. But it's corny and clichéd for a reason: It's just plain awesome to come home to someone who loves you. After the daily work grind, being fawned over and wanted by a wonderful partner gets rid of stress, and makes you feel good. No more lonely microwaveable dinners. You've got someone. Crack a smile about it.
4. When It Comes To Chores, Share Responsibility
A smooth man is a man who gets things done. Splitting up the household chores is a great way to guarantee that both of you get your hands dirty and that you don't end up in a wicked argument over an upsetting spot on the carpet. By splitting up the household chores, you'll keep your apartment clean and your girlfriend happy. If you can achieve these goals, go out and buy yourself some flannel and a pipe. You have passed the grown man test.
3. Respect Her Space
Just because the two of you are living under the same roof doesn't mean that every second of every day needs to be spent together. She's your girlfriend, not your kidneys. Find some personal spots in your neighborhood that each of you can head to for some quiet time. This will also help when you need a timeout from each other or when her parents come to visit.
2. Write Her Romantic Texts
The love letter -- or love text, these days -- is an amazing thing. Little effort is required to write one, and yet you can express so much. Just remember to keep the notes romantic. Keep it simple. Write a few creative, unique love texts and send them at unexpected times during the day.
1. Work With Her To Make It Your Place Together
Moving in together? Remember that the furniture and design decisions should be jointly made. As a boyfriend, you should not show up with a beer-stained La-Z-Boy, a mini-fridge, and posters of your favourite pin-up models. After all, you wouldn't want your girlfriend to put her 50-large collection of possessed-looking dolls on display in the living room. A smooth man compromises -- remember that.
