Muddle, time out for this...I think it answers one of your questions about how we can "make" them feel like a woman, or at least how we communicate that WE see them that way. To me, this is something VERY different from simply complimenting them, etc. This was posted by COG to AmyC's thread. It REALLY hit home with me because of it's obvious simplicity and the fact that somehow I don't think I have ever done this, or at least not in recent memory.
Do you have the courage to tell [her] how you feel about [her]. What you like about [her], why [she's] the kind of [woman] you could spend the rest of your life with. Describe how it makes you feel when [she] is near you. It's time to dig deep and step out on that limb. Take some risk's, trust in God's grace, and go get your [W].
