Summarize the following:
Compliments are one of the most important parts of romantic relationships. They show your partner that you appreciate their efforts and make you two grow closer. Don’t hold back on the compliments. If your partner does something that impresses you or looks especially good, tell them!  Be specific with your compliments. Rather than saying, “You look nice,” say “That dress looks amazing on you.” This shows that you’re being observant. Remember that compliments don’t just have to be about looks. Saying, “You’re such a great cook” after dinner is another flattering compliment. This is another way to show your appreciation for what your partner does. People love feeling appreciated, and knowing that you notice the things your partner does for you will bring them closer to you. Don’t hesitate to thank your partner whenever they do something for you.  Even thanking your partner for mundane tasks like taking out the garbage works to show appreciation. Always make your appreciation genuine, without any sarcasm or sounding like a backhanded compliment. Don’t say something like, “I’m glad you finally remembered to do the dishes after dinner tonight.” This sounds sarcastic. Simply say, “Thank you for doing the dishes.” Physical touch is a huge part of attraction. Take as many opportunities to build this attraction as you can. Hold their hand when you’re walking together. Give them arm touches when you’re talking. Kiss their forehead randomly. These little touches help build the intimacy between you two.  When you start off, don’t make any of your touches sexual. You can build to that. Start by just establishing a physical connection between you and your partner. Remember that if your partner ever tells you to stop touching them, listen to them. Sometimes being straightforward is the best approach. Don’t make your partner guess what your feelings are. Tell them directly that you love them. Hearing that will bring your partner closer to you.  Find creative ways to tell your partner you love them. Leave little love notes around your home for them to find. Send a random text message. Change it up to keep them guessing. Follow up saying, “I love you” with a kiss or a good hug.

summary: Give your partner compliments often so they feel appreciated. Thank your partner whenever they do something for you. Touch your partner to build physical intimacy with them. Tell your partner you love them.

You're writing the letter to thank your customer for doing business with you, so it's no longer necessary to subject the person to advertising. Assume good rapport at this point. Make the customer feel like an insider.  Phrases like "we hope to do business with you again soon" sound like tag lines; best to leave these out. Don't say something you wouldn't say to an acquaintance. Don't include a product pitch, a mention of an upcoming sale, or anything else that could be construed as an ad. Even if you're mailing dozens of letters, it's better not to use a postage machine. That's a giveaway that this thank-you note is one of many, and it will make the customer feel less special. In fact, it may mean your thank-you note will end up in the junk mail pile. Again, the more personalized you make the thank-you note, the better it will be received. If you don't have time to address envelopes, have someone else do it. Even if you're not the person actually writing out the address, the customer will be impressed to see handwriting. Make sure your phone number and address are included in the correspondence, and give the customer warm encouragement to get in touch for any reason. If your customer does contact you, be ready to meet his or her needs promptly.

summary: Resist the temptation to pitch your business again. Mail the letter with a real postage stamp. Address the letter by hand if possible. Provide your contact information and be open to communication.

It doesn’t matter if other people think you’re interesting, it only matters if you think you’re interesting. And all that takes is a few baby steps and a different routine. So wake up 15 minutes earlier in the morning, make yourself a breakfast you never eat, and go sit out on the porch with a newspaper. Spend a day going to the movies. Make hanky panky during your lunch hour. It doesn’t have to be big, it just has to be different. Try to think of one thing each day you can do differently. Whether it's taking a different route home, actually cooking dinner for once, or calling up a friend you haven't spoken to in years, give it a try. It's about surprising yourself, not other people. Pick out things in your area which you think might be interesting and give them a visit. There are often many local events going on, especially in summer, which don't involve spending much or any money. By doing these things which aren't part of your routine, you’ll keep yourself surprised and energized. To find these events, read newspapers, go online, look at flyers on the street and in cafes, and talk to friends and strangers (like the girl setting up the mic at your favorite coffee house). You’ll make social connections, too, making you feel doubly productive. When you go on holiday anywhere, the place you’re visiting always seems so much more interesting than where you live. But in reality there is probably lots to do around where you live, you just haven't bothered to look properly since it’s been there all along. Open your eyes; what have you been missing? Go to your local tourist information office and find out what the tourists do in your hometown. There may be museums, boat rides, art galleries or landmarks which you never previously noticed or took interest in. If you keep coming up with excuses why you can't socialize then people will just forget about you and stop inviting you out. Even if you're not that keen on the people going, or the places they're going to, try giving them a chance and go and hang out with them anyway. It doesn’t have to be all the time – just once in a while. Socializing with friends is an instant uplift. If your life is full of work, work, and more work, put the guilt and the responsibility at bay for a day and go out and have fun. You deserve it. On Sunday morning, you probably often find yourself lounging around, popping in and out of Facebook, watching some TV, and just taking it easy (at least, hopefully). Whenever you find you have a moment like that, take it as an opportunity to go do something. Book a night at a local hotel. Find a breakfast brunch buffet. Hop in the car and don’t plan on where you’re going. Be your own “surprisologist.” Make it a point once in a while to have a day dedicated to nothing, where you refuse to make plans. When that day rolls around, do whatever pops into your head. It could be a movie, it could be a trip to the mountains, or it could be somewhere in between. Just listen to your instincts. Not only will the organising keep you occupied, but you'll have a good night to look forward to, and then something to look back on happily. Those around you will likely bring up ideas of things you should try, too. Find these opportunities, too. Are you out listening to live music? Buy the guitarist a drink and strike up a conversation. Get a bite to eat with your new slamball teammates. Sometimes you have to knock on opportunity's door and not the other way around. Instead of spending your weekend at home (though weekends are great wherever you are), plan a trip for just a 2-day getaway. You don’t have to take time off work and it doesn’t have to be expensive – it can even be half an hour away where you spend the entire weekend in a hotel basking in the room service. Just go out and have fun! Is there somewhere fairly close by that you’ve always meant to experience but just never gotten around to it? Take this as a prime opportunity to check it off your list. Even if it only takes an afternoon, it counts. Play tourist for a while, getting away from it all. It's a chance to relax, learn something, and get out of your routine.
summary: Shake up your routine. Find local events such as markets, festivals, and music events to attend. Explore your hometown. Accept all invitations. Do something spontaneous. Organise a party or a night out with your friends. Plan a trip.
