What does it mean to you?

what is it that you find so pleasurable (gratifying, satisfying) when someone does something like give you roses or a card, etc? How does it make you feel ... about yourself, or about the other person?

(I'm trying to distill and define some thoughts I have, but I'm not finding the words .....)

Additional question

are the little things more important to women then to men? if you are a guy, do you dig the little appreciation stuff (cards, etc) or are you just as happy with steak and a blow-job?

out of frustration comes lyrics from ( My Fair Lady - 'Show me' )
