Let's face it - something happened and your woman wants absolutely nothing to do with you. The specifics don't matter at this point, you just need to find a way to make her smile and gain her confidence again. Sure you could apologize, but it won't hurt to put a little icing on that gesture. Here are 10 ideas that will get you out of the dog house with your woman.
- Keeping it Traditional: There is no more natural way to say "I'm sorry," than picking up a beautiful bundle of flowers. Make sure you consider a bouquet containing her favorite blossom. Or if you want to show that you made an extra effort, take a stroll and pick some wild flowers while you think of how you will set the stage for you apology.
- Get Artistic: Maybe you have a knack for creativity and want your significant other to interpret your apology, you could consider pulling together a masterpiece. Paint her a picture that shows how much you care. Write a poem that expresses how much she really means to you. For those who are less creative, pull together a playlist that defines your love - don't forget to pick a song that says you truly are apologetic.
- Date Night: This is not about you! Plan a time where you take her out to do everything that she enjoys. When you apologize present an itinerary for the evening. Seal the deal by taking her to a special place at the end of the night and reminding her just how much she means.
- Home Salon: That's right - you are going to pamper your woman as if she were at a professional salon. Plan a manicure and pedicure, ensuring that she has options for her nail color. Prepare little treats for her to munch on as she enjoys her magazines that you have set aside for her reading pleasure. Finish it off with a massage to ease her mind and relax her body.
- Girls Night (or Day): Encourage her to let off some steam with her friends. Heck! She will probably talk about what it is that went so wrong. However, while she is away, be sure to slave away at home getting chores caught up that otherwise would normally be left to her. When she returns home, apologize and let her take in the fresh clean scent of home.
- A Week of Surprises: Whether she works or stays at home, surprise her each day of the coming week with little trinkets and notes of apology. Think about things that would make her day easier. A cup of coffee waiting at her desk with a note on the side stating your love and asking for her forgiveness. A homemade lunch with her favorite foods. Run her errands remembering to send a text letting her know she can head home to relax after work. Take a vacation day - if she normally stays at home - and take over watching the kids or pets so she can spend a day doing what she enjoys. Every woman is different, think about what would make a difference in her day.
- Get Ahead of the Game: If you can, access her Amazon wish list, and purchase something that she has been putting off getting herself. When the online site asks for a message to be added, be sure to make your apology clear. Beware: do not pay for the item with her credit card if you do not have joint accounts. You might end up back in the dog house.
- Hidden Surprise: Pick out a gift card to her favorite store, that bracelet she has been eyeing for months, or those concert tickets she has been meaning to purchase. Place this small token with an apology note somewhere she will be sure to find it. The surprise will catch her off guard and she will be ready to embrace you.
- Go Big or Go on Vacation: You really messed up. Words alone will not fix this and any small gesture will surely go unnoticed. Get in touch with her employer and schedule vacation days for her. Make sure she has not previously planned an excursion for the year - once again this could backfire if the proper research is not completed. Plan a small vacation or a lavish getaway for the two of to somewhere she has been dreaming of going. Whether it is a weekend or a week, the effort will pay off. The "unplanned" vacation may be just what she needed!
- Basket of Memories: Pull together a basket with small items that will remind her of the good times you two shared during your relationship. A bottle of wine from a winery you visited, a copy of the first movie you went to together, a framed "first official picture," a night at the first hotel you stayed at together, a game that she knows you cannot beat her at. Anything that brings back happy memories and shows how much you appreciate your time spent with her.
When it hits the fan, it is possible to bring all the pieces back together. It doesn't hurt to go the extra mile and think about something - big or small - that will make your apology sincere and thoughtful. These are just ten ideas that will get you out of the dog house.
