Thank Him
Every time your boyfriend does something nice for you, make sure that you thank him and that you show him how much you appreciate the wonderful things that he does for you. When you are in a relationship, it is very easy to overlook the little but significant gestures and take them for granted. So, send him a text saying thank you, give him an appreciative kiss or even give him a little gift to show your gratitude.

Don’t Get Bossy
Try to avoid becoming bossy in your relationship and acting like he is the only one who needs you and that you don’t need him back. Even though you may think that by displaying your independence to him, he will love and appreciate you more, this strategy can backfire against you easily and you will drive him further away.

Ask Him for Advice
If you want to make your man feel wanted and needed, then just ask him for advice. This will show your significant other that you value his opinion and that you respect him enough to do something based on his judgement. He will swell up with happiness and he will feel good about himself.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Be Affectionate
Show your man that you love him and that he is the most important person in the world for you if you want to make him feel needed. Do small things like hold his hand when you go for a walk, rest your head on his shoulder or on his chest if you are lying down. Be affectionate and show him how much he means to you.

When You Get Something for Yourself, Get Something for Him Too
Every time you buy something for yourself, try to buy something for your significant other too. For example, if you go to a coffee shop to get a coffee, get one for him as well. This way, he will know that he is always on your mind and this small gesture of affection will surely put a big smile on his face.
