How to Make a Man Feel Loved

[Julia]

I've been dating the same guy for 3 1/2 years he complains all his friends get treated better than he does...

I'm not talking sexually because we have a awesome sexual relationship!

I'm talking the other things a man likes or makes him feel loved. Could you PLEEEASE elaborate on what these things are? I'm swear I'm completely lost on what he's wanting from me and he won't tell me I'm supposed to "know"

Different people like to receive love differently.

You might think you are giving him all the love in the world by touching him, giving him gifts, spending time with him...

And what he really needs is to hear the words...

"I love you, you're special to me, I love spending time with you, I think you're great."

Or, you maybe you already tell him how much you love him all the time... and what he really needs to feel loved is more touching, or quality time, etc.

Once you determine his love language (hint: it is probably the way he tries to give love to you), it is easy to make him feel like he's got the best girlfriend in the world.

Number 1 is the only acceptable number that your man must be in. Whenever you have work to do but he also needs some company, then you have to make the right choice.
