Let go! I'll list all 10, but that's the thing to keep in mind with these, and all tips you read, on how to make your guy smile.

1. Don't patronize him (he'll be able to tell), but don't be a stick in the mud either. You might end up loving camping or football if you honestly give it a chance. Give his hobbies a try. If you end up not enjoying them, don't condescend whenever he mentions it. You're on his team after all.

2. Love the way you look naked. If you're insecure about the way you look naked, it will have a terrible effect on your sex life. How can you really let go during sex if you're worried about how you look?

3. Realize when you're projecting your own insecurities onto him. You may be taking many of the things he says all wrong. Ask him what he actually meant instead of stewing about it.

4. Treat his friends and family as your own. Do not, however, go so far as to complain about him to them.

5. Don't insult him, and men in general, incessantly. In our current culture, it is commonplace for women to assume all men are pigs, stupid, lazy, etc. Watch the stereotypes coming out of your mouth.

6. Give your expectations a reality check. You shouldn't settle, but you cannot reasonably expect the things that go on in romance movies to happen in real life.

7. Ask him what he wants sexually. Ask what he would like that you don't do, what you do that bugs him and really listen to the answers.

8. When he gets home, instead of taking his ear off leave him alone for a few minutes.

9. Do something different and daring in bed. The what depends on you, but be creative and surprise him. Go a little bit outside your comfort zone.

10. Tell him how much you love him. Let him know the little things he does count and make you smile.
