Well, thanks, cj, because I felt your H was alot like mine in some ways, and words of affirmation is one of his love languages. And especially if he has had such a great reaction to it. It is really something finding out that what seems like such a small thing to us is really important to them.
And he is responding in turn to you, and whatever he decides to do on Sat, be very enthusiastic about it. I had hoped to go out for our anniversary, or valentine's day, but he wanted to cook out here, so I got enthusiastic about it on valentine's day, because I stupidly let him know I would rather have gone out on our anniversary, and his feelings were hurt. Maybe he will surprise you, after all you certainly have been surprising him lately, and his beaming smile tells you how happy he is about it. And my H always said the same thing about my not thinking what he did was good enough for me, so I understand that.
About the dressing up for him, I sometimes will put on a sexy nightie, and not say a word to him about it, but just carry on my regular routine. Sometimes he has ignored it, but sometimes he will practically grab me when we get into bed. And either way, it gives him something to think and dream about. because even if he doesn't say anything, he does notice.
