As someone who can barely calculate a tip, I don't have much to add to the conversation about our tanking economy. But I would like to share one little piece of wisdom I picked up from my favorite social economists: you can't buy me love. Corny but true. Don't believe me? Try one of my five patented Romance Enhancers—if you don't think they're more effective than a gift card I'll send you a full refund. Bonus tip: Give him a free pass to go out and drink beer with his friends. 1) Touch his arm. There are a lot of ways to subtly let a guy know you're into him, like maintaining eye contact, playing with your hair and smiling a lot. But the only one that sends shivers down my spine is when a girl touches my arm during conversation. It always surprises me and it's always great. 2) Send him a random text message in the middle of the day. OK, this might not be free depending on your cell phone plan, but it's still a great value. Nothing breaks the monotony of a long workday like a flirty note from someone special, and unless his job is super-intense he'll have plenty of time to daydream about you. 3) Ask him a question about something he knows a lot about. Newsflash: Guys like to show off for you. So if your dude could use an ego boost there's nothing like letting him feel like an expert. Ask him about fishing, the 1983 Chicago White Sox or the mating habits of the Guyanese woodfinch—whatever he's into. Just remember to nod a lot and look really interested. 4) Give him a very specific compliment. Telling a guy he's funny, handsome or smart is always appreciated, but the really meaningful compliments are the ones that reveal how well you know him. Something like "I love the way your face scrunches up when you're doing the crossword puzzle" or "You have the sexiest calves I've ever seen." __5) Send him the diary entry you wrote after your first date (or write one now). __One of the best things about having a girlfriend is reminiscing about what you thought about each other in the beginning of your relationship. Reliving all of the uncertainty and anxiety is strangely exhilarating. I can't think of a better anniversary present than a sanctioned peek into the diary of someone I care about.

Where to touch a man to make him feel special?

TOUCH IT: Face your man and lightly place your hands around each forearm with your thumbs on top, using your fingers to lightly rub up and down the top and bottom of his arms (massage the meatiest parts but avoid the bone), recommends sex coach Amy Levine, founder of Sexedsolutions.com.

girl touching guys butt

We mean really low — like, right above his crack. "This area is typically neglected because men are so sensitive about their butt, but it's really responsive to a firm, sexy massage," Kerner explains. Working the muscles there will feel slightly taboo to him (which is why it's so hot), and enables you to get rid of a tension-induced stiffness so he can move his hips more freely later on. TOUCH IT: Put his mind at ease by reassuring him that you're just going to massage his muscles, not do anything crazy, Keesling recommends. Then straddle his legs while he's lying on his stomach and treat him to a rubdown, starting at the bottom of his lower back and heading south to the top of his tailbone. Place the heels of your hands on either side of his spine, and stroke firmly outward toward his sides. Move your hands down an inch and repeat until you're halfway down his butt, then move slowly back up.
