I struggle to understand what "the little things" are, so any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

 Hi,
I don't really know what to suggest save for whisking her away to a tropical island, showering her with roses, drinking Dom Perignon etc etc... Bascially want I'm trying to say is some people are never happy.
It seems you are doing a hell of a lot more than most guys do and she still isnt happy. Maybe you should turn things around a bit and suggest she can do something for you for a change.
This all seems lopsided to me, and to be frank she sounds rather high maintenance, I wonder if she is using this as an excuse to hide other issues.
Good luck

 Wow! From a womans prospective, I don't get it either. Does she ever do "little things" for you? I commend your efforts for as much as you do for her and I'm sorry that she doesn't appreciate it more. Seeing as you are already doing things to try and make her happy, I would simply come out and ask her for some examples of what 'her' definition of "little things" are. I wouldn't let it bother you too much. Good Luck!

 It sounds to me, that you try hard enough! I wish my BF would give me flowers and chocolate!!!!!!!!! And whats more romantic than candles?Ok .. so I would probably make a dinner, flowers, chocolate, candles, soft music ... and if even after this she would say that your "romantic side" sucks ... than she is crazy!
