Don’t overdo it though.
20. Offer to pick her up or drop her off
Maybe show up at her office in the evening to pick her up. Offer to drop her to her office one day, even if it means that you have to go out of your way or get stuck in crazy traffic. Women consider being chauffeured as a way of pampering, so do that for your woman.
