What makes women go gaga over a guy? This is one question that guys often ponder upon. Although there's always this smoother-than-smooth guy who constantly knows every right move for keeping that hottie wrapped around his suave, clever fingers, let's face it-a lot of guys are still clueless on how to keep a girl by their side while having a lot of very obvious shortcomings. What does Mr. Smooth know that some most guys don't? Men who want to sweep a woman off her feet must acquaint themselves with those small gestures that women observe and respond to. The thing is these small gestures are huge point-earners in the romance department.

Little niceties here and there will surely rev her engine up. Still clueless? Check out the secrets to sweep a woman off her feet: Most women usually love to be surprised-a nice surprise, that is. It simply shows that a man can still be capable of thinking about her even if she's not around. Want to blow her away on your next date? Be creative: find out what kind of food and flowers she like, or is there any particular restaurant that she fancies. Book a reservation at her favourite place, and ask the flowers to be arranged along with the wine on your table.

She will be delightfully surprised for sure! Dinners in a restaurant sure is romantic, but why go elsewhere when you can turn your own place into a lovepad? If you are quite adept around the kitchen, cook a fabulous meal. If, however, you are a bit insecure about your cooking skills, you can always order a take-out from a nice deli. A nice tablecloth, some candles, flowers and her favourite music playing in the background will surely knock her off her feet (plus, she won't notice its take-out!) One of the hardest things that a guy has to do in order to impress someone is getting along with her pets.

Yes, the pets-her best friend, adorable toy, and roommate rolled into one. You may not be a pet-lover (good luck to you!) but don't be too obvious with your disdain for her puffball. Try your hardest to be affectionate with them even if you can't bring yourself to love them as much as she does. Diamonds can be a girl's best friend-next in line are flowers. A pretty bouquet is never out of style, and is one thing a man shouldn't forget on birthdays and anniversaries. Although it's nice to receive flowers during these occasions, unexpected ones are even more appreciated.

A simple arrangement sent to her office will make her co-workers insanely jealous and make you look like a prince. And if she ever breaks up with you, they'll think she's crazy to let go of somebody as romantic as you are. Chocolates are notorious for wreaking havoc on a girl's diet, but one can never go wrong with this classic move. The rich, inviting smell, look and taste makes it an absolutely spontaneous demonstration of affection that will make her heart a-flutter. We're not talking about the kind of chocolates that kids are crazy about-a single, expensive piece such as liqueur truffle, wrapped in a little box, is definitely a classy choice.

We've covered the basics, so let's move on to more important things: the little things. These are what men often take for granted, and what makes a woman lose interest in a man. Small gestures of affection, like kissing and hugging upon waking up and when one leaves for work. Take time to ask her about her day and be genuinely interested in what she says. Call her at work just to say hi whenever you can, and tell her you love her every day. When you've mastered these, you'll surely sweep a woman off her feet.
