Things to brighten by boyfriend's day? I need lots of ideas!

Question - (9 January 2014) 7 Answers - (Newest, 14 January 2014)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

1) Besides the regular "I love you", "I miss you".. what are some cute positive things I can text my boyfriend throughout the days to make him smile or possibly make his day a little brighter?

2) What are some cute, cheap but meaningful, things I can do *for* him? Such as hiding little love notes around his place and things like that. Anyone have any good ideas?

I'd love to hear from the men on this one, and what would make you happy if your girlfriend were to do them.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI made breakfast for my husband on Sunday wearing absolutely nothing but a smile. I even danced around the kitchen a bit...

he appreciated it "breakfast and a show" so to speak.

First, I applaud you for being so considerate.

Second, I agree with the notion of doing things but not going over the top. Don't pay much attention to his reaction. I know a lot of "manly man" dudes who act like they don't like it, but deep down they do. (Im one of them....;) )

Wear a robe or over size T-shirt, something where you can be naked, but he can not see you naked. As he is leaving to go out (work, etc), go up and give him a kiss goood bye, take his hand and run it under your rode, and between your legs. Then say, have a great day, see you later.

It will drive you both crazy all day, and when later comes...hehe :)

eyeswideopen agony auntAn occasional text or note is fine but "throughout the days" and all over the house is over the top. Too many and you may just end up irritating him rather than endearing yourself. Anyway actions speak louder than words if you get my drift, wink wink.

I think very much depends on the guy, and to be blunt how much of a 'softie' he is. Also, I assume your relationship is happy and healthy, and you're not trying to save it or make up for anything. Doing mushy stuff to try and fix an unhappy relationship is never good, in my opinion. Ok a few ideas:

There are tonnes of texted things you can say. Be original, and not too OTT. Cliches quickly become routine. Also don't do it too often, because eventualy it'll be, why HASN'T she texted to say she loves me today? Etc. I tend to be quite chatty over text, ad might tell my boyfriend that he was in my dream last night; if texts me first, I might say "aw hello I was just thinking about you", i remember once I said (truthfully) that I'd just randomly read back through a few months' of diary and sort of realised how lovely he's been and thanked him - all those seemed to make him very happy. But my guy is a softy hahaha. Tell him to have a lovely day or to sleep very well or whatever- doesn't all have to be declarations I guess.

In terms of doing things. Um. Again depends. I'd say spontaneity is a good part of it. Plan a picnic or something. For an ex I once blew up some balloons and inside each balloon was a slip of paper with something I loved about him written on. But I can't say I'm really recommending that, it can look a bit much - and the contents of the balloons he couuld second guess anyway because I'd said it all before. Plus it's a pain getting the paper inside the balloon, haha.

Hope something in there helps. :)
