People watching

Sometimes, in life, I get immense joy by simply watching the world around me. As I sit on the beach now I reflect on my relationships as I watch other ones around me (not creepily, I promise). 

It's enjoyable watching children run around without a care in the world. They try to catch the nearby seagulls, and build sandcastles, and scream when the waves hit their feet. I've always noticed that children are quite special. So innocent and intelligent. They truly see the world in a different way that most people don't. I hope I never lose that innocence. But their are always couples that walk the shore and share a blanket while laying under the sun's rays, and it makes me think about what girls love most in this world: to be loved unconditionally by a man who will be their knight in shining armor. 

Some things I know girls can live without, but secretly there are things that we really don't want to give up, but won't speak up so to all the men reading this, here are a few things you should strive to do and become:

1. Hold her hand in public. It's pretty simple and although you may not think it's a big deal or important any physical contact we have with you makes us feel like the only girl in the world. And continue to hold your wife's hand as you grow old together. There's nothing cuter than an older couple still holding hands. 

2. Send her flowers. Even if you love together, there's something so sweet and romantic about getting a bouquet of flowers from the man your head over heels for.  To us, they symbolize the fact that you think we're beautiful and that you're thinking about us.

3. Hold her. And I'm not just talking about when your watching a movie on the couch, no, I'm talking about in the most random time of the day; pull her into your arms or onto your lap and just hold her. It's another physical contact that makes us feel safe and important. 

4. Kiss her forehead. We love getting pecked on the cheek and on the lips, but the forehead is where it's at. I can't describe it for you but it's just beautiful. 

I guess part of me thinks that this list is what I want, but doesn't every girl just want someone that makes her happy? Believe me guys, us girls can live without these things, but you'd be considered something extraordinary if you did one of these:)
