There are a lot of ways in which you can show your girlfriend more affection and affection is pretty important for romantic relationships. Here’s how you can be more affectionate with her:

1. Small gestures — Some people aren’t accustomed to affection, either giving it or receiving it. So it’s best to start small. Holding hands, hugging, and giving compliments are all ways in which a person can show their affection.
2. Learn the love languages — So, there are five accepted love languages. These are physical touch, quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation, and gifts. Learn what your girlfriend’s love language is and start speaking it fluently.
3. Be attentive — Sometimes, affection isn’t hand-holding. Sometimes, it’s anticipating and meeting someone’s needs. Is it that time of the month and she needs a heating pad? You’ve got all warmed up for her. Is she wearing heels when you go out and her feet start hurting? Not to worry, you grabbed a pair of comfortable flats for her on the way out.
