He wanted to be reassured that I would like it. I found this to be very sweet. He doesn't know that I know. My husband gets in on my side and warms it up when I'm still in the bathroom. When I come to bed he rolls over to his side, which is cold while I climb into the toasty spot. Also, whenever we argue, he gives me a massage before we go to bed, even if we haven't resolved the issue. We might be having an argument but he wants me to know he loves me in spite of our differences.

It could be weeks later and my boyfriend will bring up something I mentioned in a normal, everyday conversation. It makes me realize how much he's listening and truly cares, I've never been more appreciative and in love with anyone like I am with him. And he's amazing at it. Sometimes he let's me choose and pick up groceries, sometimes I get an text while I'm at work telling me what's for dinner. He's protective of me. Seems to care a great deal about what happens to me and my well-being.
He worries about me. When we hadn't even dating all too long, I off handedly mentioned my mom had just had surgery. He seemed upset that I didn't tell him my mom was going to have surgery. Allowing her to encounter your vulnerability will increase trust. Many times that can be too much too soon. You will know when the time is right. Remember, there is fearlessness in being vulnerable.

Both genders rated the person pictured as more attractive for a long-term relationship when they were described as a volunteer — but the effect was stronger for women rating men. In a study , researchers at the University of Liverpool and the University of Stirling took photos of 24 male and 24 female undergrads.
They digitally manipulated half of the images so the subjects appeared to have facial scars — for example, a line on the person's forehead that looked like the result of an injury. Then the researchers recruited another group of about heterosexual male and female undergrads to rate all the people pictured based on attractiveness for both short- and long-term relationships.
Results showed that men with scars appeared slightly more attractive for short-term relationships than men without scars. Women, on the other hand, were perceived as equally attractive regardless of whether they had scarred faces.
A study — from researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Northwestern University — suggests that we're more attracted to people who display expansive body language. In one experiment included in the study, the researchers created profiles for three men and three women on a GPS-based dating app.
In one set of profiles, the men and women were pictured in contractive positions — for example, by crossing their arms or hunching their shoulders. In the other set of profiles, the same men and women were pictured in expansive positions, like holding their arms upward in a "V" or reaching out to grab something. Results showed that people in expansive postures were selected as potential dates more often than those in contractive postures.
This effect was slightly larger for women selecting men. A University of British Columbia study revealed a curious finding: heterosexual men and women prefer different emotional expressions on potential mates. In one experiment included in the study, researchers had nearly North American adults look at photos of opposite-sex individuals online.
The researchers were specifically comparing people's perceptions of expressions of pride, happiness, shame, and neutrality other people had already identified the emotion behind the expression in the photo. For women evaluating men, the most appealing expression was pride, and the least appealing was happiness.
