3 Simple Ways to Show Affection

Updated: Aug 7, 2024



Giving affection is not always natural for everyone. However, it is a skill that can be learned with a little bit of practice. A verbal message of love or care to your partner is most ideal, but if that’s not your speed, here are three simple ways to let them know you see them and still desire them:


  1. Not enough hours in the day to connect with your partner? Try this: send a flirty text! Send your boo a text about what you like about them, your favorite romantic memories, or ask about turn ons. Love connections don't need to be big. This small gesture can mean a lot!

  2. Is there some treat or item they like? When you see that during your store run, pick it up.

  3. Physical affection is also nice, even in small moments. Holding your partner's hand or a shoulder rub can be just what your partner needs.


If you are still unsure of what to do, ask your partner this question: “How do you want me to show you affection? What is an example of how I can let you know I care for you?"

Every little bit helps!
