DATING TIPS
“What are the main things that make a man feel special and appreciated?”

That’s a great question.
In a general sense, everyone wants to be recognized for their actions. It’s tied to their sense of value towards themselves and for others.
I feel that a sincere compliment usually does the job to make a guy feel appreciated and valued.
But if you’re looking beyond a sincere compliment, then learn his love language.
If his love language is receiving gifts, then learn what he’s into or what gift he really wants to have and give him that.
Or if his love language is words of affirmation, then give him thoughtful notes or personalized love letters.
Observe what gestures or words make him the happiest.
