Have you ever realized that sometimes when we say “go to bed early” to our girlfriends, it’s actually quite boring?It’s not like she doesn’t know it’s time to go to bed. What’s missing isn’t a reminder, it’s your companionship and dedication.
I used to do the same thing, every night only say “go to bed early”, and then realized that she seems to be a bit lost.Until one day I asked her, “What do you want most?” She said, “I want to be with you.She said, “I want you to tell me a story every day.”At that moment I realized that what she wanted more than cold concern was warm companionship.
So I began to study how to tell a bedtime story.At first I was quite nervous, afraid that I would not be able to tell it well, or that she would find it childish.But surprisingly, she listened attentively, smiled, and asked me, “Then what?Is there more?”After listening, she even took the initiative to give me a hug, which felt really different, like what you said finally came into her heart.
I’ll share a few of my own stories that she loves, so you can try them out:
1. The Story of the Star Candy Cane
There was a little bunny who secretly loved the moon.Every night he tilted his head up to look at the sky, and his eyes became sore from looking at it.One day, a wizard in the forest gave him an empty jar and said, “If you fill this jar with star-shaped candies, the moon will come to see you.”
The little rabbit was so happy that from that day on, it put a star candy in every day.A whole year passed, and the bottle was finally full.That night, the moon suddenly turned into a silver-haired boy, gently landed in front of it, smiled, took out a candy and said, “In fact, I’m also secretly hiding candy, waiting for you to come to me.”
Tell the story a little more softly, and at the end you can pretend to take a candy out of your pocket and hand it to her, so that she can feel that romantic atmosphere.
2. The Secret of the Insomnia Pillow
There was a girl who could never sleep, but her pillow always snuck out the door after she closed her eyes.One day she pretended to be asleep and secretly opened her eyes to find that her pillow had actually run downstairs to the place that sells bread, so that the owner could sew the freshly baked scent into her body.
When she woke up the next day, she smelled the pillow smelling of fragrant butter and was instantly relieved.It turned out that the pillow had been collecting good smells for her every night, just so she could sleep better.
When you tell this paragraph, you can imitate the pillow tiptoeing around, and then gently pat her pillow afterward and say, “Thank you ah, let it know that you also know its heart.”
3. The Boy Who Backs Up the Moonlight
There was a boy whose girlfriend was always complaining that the city lights were too bright to see the stars.So he snuck out to the countryside and filled a glass jar with fireflies, the scent of wildflowers and the sound of a stream.
One day when the power went out in the house, he took out that bottle and said, “This is my backup moonlight.”The fireflies in the bottle lit up and illuminated the words written on the petals of the flower, “I’ve contracted the stars for tonight.”
Tell this story by describing how he was bitten by mosquitoes and fell into the water to make her laugh.At the end, hold her hand and open the bottle so she can feel the surprise.
4. The Quarreling Repair Shop
There’s a strange little store in town that specializes in helping couples with their quarrels.The girl runs there in a huff and the store owner gives her a pair of headphones and says, “Listen to his heart.”
The headphones came from the boyfriend’s flustered voice: “She’s angry or cute …… but how the hell am I supposed to apologize?”The girl couldn’t help but laugh.When I got home, my boyfriend was practicing in front of the mirror to say “I’m sorry” in a hundred ways.
Speaking here can learn from the way he practiced, to make her happy.Finally, ask her, “Do you want to open a repair store like this?”
Tips for telling bedtime stories
- Voice should be gentle and slow: Speak slowly as if you are coaxing a child to relax her.
- Incorporate some sense of interaction: for example, do an action or say something after the story to make her feel involved.
- Add her name or preferences to it: for example, change the flower mentioned in the story to her favorite, or change the location to a place you often visit.
- Ending the story with a ritual: Kissing her on the forehead and saying “Good night, my little star/little moon” is more touching to her heart than “the story is over”.
Why are bedtime stories so important?
The point of telling a bedtime story is not to make you a master storyteller, but to show her that you care about her and are willing to spend time with her.Even if it’s just for a few minutes, it can make her feel full of happiness.
In this fast-paced world, it’s a precious thing to have someone willing to slow down and spend time with you.So don’t say “go to bed early” this kind of perfunctory words, try to change the way, give her a little tenderness, a little surprise.
You’ll find that when you do, she’ll love you even more.
