Women love to be loved; actually it goes much deeper than
that. A large part of their self-esteem comes from being wanted by somebody. It’s
really not all that different than the way we guys are, we want our wives to
want us too, and if they don’t it’s a real blow to the ego.
The expression of that need to be needed is different for
men and women, but we all have that need. For men, it’s expressed sexually,
while for women it’s expressed through words, looks and the desire to be with
them that we express. In their minds, it doesn’t matter whether they want to
make love or not, they need to know that they are wanted.
Of course, how we express that to them is important as well.
It comes across very negative when we express our desire crudely; that’s a real
turn-off. It’s also a turn-off when our desire is expressed in a way that is
purely physical. If they think we want sex just for sex, then they feel as if
we want to use them. It makes them think that we just want sex with anyone, not
that we want to connect with them. That’s the key word, “connect,” to a women,
that’s what they want. Whether in bed or out, women want a heart connection.
The physical connection is secondary.
Let me get back on track here. If a woman, your wife for
example, wants to be wanted, then it would help for us to be able to express that,
but not in a physical way. Instead of focusing on the physical, we should
express that in a way that sounds more like a heart connection than a physical one.
Here’s an idea to get your wife going a bit. Start sending
her e-mails from a “secret admirer.” Now, to do this, you’re obviously going to
need to use a different e-mail account, since I’m sure she knows your regular
one. No problem, just open up a free account to use just for this. Something
like “secretadmirer@hotmail.com” should work just fine.
Then, send her a series of short e-mail messages, talking about
how much you want to connect with her. You’ll have to do a little “acting” for
this one; pretending you are someone else. You could pretend to be someone who
sees her at work, or at a local store, something like that. This pretending is
to give you a context for your e-mails; you want to be able to write them as if
you were seeing her from afar, in those locations. That way you can say something
like, “Every day, when I pass by your office and see you, it brightens my day.”
There are two reasons for this “acting.” The first is that
you want to see if you can pull this off for several days, or even a couple of
week. The other is that it is easier to do something or say something which might
make you uncomfortable if you are invisible. That’s why people say the craziest
personal things on Facebook, which they’d never say in person.
Keep your messages short, but make sure they are Now, don’t
get offended if your wife starts talking about her secret admirer. The real
secret is that you know who it is, even if she doesn’t. That will just show you
that you’re getting through to her. Be careful that you don’t let your face or
your reactions give you away. You can have a private laugh, knowing that you
are the secret admirer. Of course, you need to tell her eventually, but let the
game go on for a bit before you do.
Once she knows that you have been her secret admirer, you’ll
get all the points that she’s been saving for him. Actually, she probably won’t
have stored up any points for him, but you’ll get them anyway.
