Day One | 5 Ways to Win My Heart

{This is the beginning of a 30-Day Challenge I've decided to tackle, with poise & grace, no less.} {Heh.}

1. I am a natural conversationalist, so engaging me in conversation, especially about things you know I have an interest in, is a guarantee.
2. Thoughtfulness. Little things that say "You were on my mind." or "I know you well enough to know that you would appreciate this." Things that don't have to be done...they just are.
3. Make me laugh. Not an easy feat, seeing as how I think I'm one of the most hilarious beings on earth.
4. Appreciate me. "Please" and "Thank you" fulfill this one quite nicely. Yet, I still find them hard to come by these days. Makes my heart go, "Hmph." instead of "Mmmm." So, say them. (Please.)
5. One of the 5 Love Languages: offer me words of affirmation on something you genuinely think I did/do well. It makes me feel like I can fly.
6. I'm throwing in an extra one because I feel it has become somewhat of an epidemic: if I hug you, hug me back. Not a one-armed, dead-fish, patronizing, infantile pat-on-the-back-like-you're-tyring-to-burp-me "hug". I'm inviting you into my space. My personal space. I don't just go around doing that all willy-nilly. HUG ME. Like you're grateful for my friendship. Like you would if we were saying goodbye for a really long time. You just never know, lovelies.
