1) I feel special when a man shows genuine interest in what I have to say
more to come...
2) In that same vein, I feel special when a man actually remembers a detail or details from some conversation past and takes some congruent action...he remembers I said my favorite book was x and a year later a quote from x shows up in a card to me...can be exhibited in so many ways.
3) I feel special when a man compliments me specifically and unique to me...rather than a general or typical compliment
4) I love a little chivalry
5) I feel special when I am liked enough to be included in "guy" activities (though I definitely like having separate things going on)...just want to feel like a peer not the ball and chain.
6) I feel special when a man opens up to me and shares his vulnerability (again really depends on the guy, the circumstances and the relationship)
7) I feel special when a man is clearly willing and able to protect and provide for me (if its antiquated so what? it is the truth)...I like feeling safe and secure with my guy.
8) I feel special when that same secure guy can accept my input and isn't threatened by a little intellectual challenge or looking at things from a different point of view.
9) I really dig when a man has something to teach me and will take the time to do it.
10) When it comes to intimacy, I want to feel like I am not an object yet, I want to feel like the sexiest woman on the planet...when I figure out how precisely a man can elicit that feeling consistently, I will gladly accept my $10,000,000 and share that info with you. In the mean time...don't ogle other women, don't ever make comments about your woman's weight or "defects" or compare her to other women or past lovers. Don't over do the sex talk (of course everyone's different)...don't harp on things she's said she isn't into and act like you'll just die if you can't get her to do some crazy painful thing you saw on youp*rn (have I gone too far here?)...
Maybe these should all be reserved for pertaining to marriage, not exactly first date stuff.
Ok, that is some seriously personal stuff I'm sharing, not sure it is reflective of how many or most other women feel. But probably.
