Thank him...up one side and down the other

Here’s another important piece: when a man does something that pleases you…thank him! Several
times. Thank him in the moment, and be specific about what pleased you (it made you feel cared for, it
helped you somehow…). And thank him again later, in an unrelated moment: “Remember when you
complimented me on my outfit? That made me feel pretty.” “I’ve noticed you haven’t been leaving your
shoes in the middle of the hallway. I really appreciate that. I feel safer and not afraid to trip over them
anymore.”
