34 Cute Things To Do For Your Boyfriend

Reaching over to grab his hand in a crowd is one of the best ways to make your boyfriend feel loved and wanted. If you are in the beginning stages of your relationship, holding hands means a great deal. Simple actions like pulling him close to you make him feel secure in the relationship.

2. Take Him To Your Favorite Place

We all have a happy place where we could spend hours alone and be at peace. Sharing this place with him and taking him there indicates that you trust him. You could spend some intimate time there, making memories that would last forever. A small gesture like this would make him feel welcome and special.

3. Steal Some Kisses

Sneaking in a quick peck on his cheeks while no one is looking is one of the cutest signs to show him that he means a lot to you. Be playful and flirty, making him feel desired and appreciated. It shows him that you are proud to have him around and are not afraid to demonstrate your love.

4. Draw For Him

Make a cute card for him or doodle the things you do together to create wonderful memories of you both. The next time you think of going to the gift shop to buy him the perfect card, stop! Consider making it yourself – it will bring a smile on his face, for sure.

5. Commit To Him

Not every guy runs away from commitment. If he likes to keep things traditional in love, he might like your dedication. There is no gift greater than loyalty. Give him all your trust, and you will notice the commitment and security reflected right back.

You can demonstrate your commitment to your boyfriend and the relationship by doing simple things such as taking down your profile from online dating sites and apps, posting pictures of the two of you on your social accounts, and changing your relationship status to “committed” on social media.

6. Gift Him Something Special

When it comes to guys, finding the right gift might be challenging. It is best if you stick to things that he can connect or relate to – be it a watch from his favorite brand or a tie he will wear to work. You can also try making unique crafty gifts and customize them with your personal pictures. These are the gifts that will make him feel wanted and special.

Chanelle Hayley, a blogger, planned 25 gifts for her boyfriend’s 25th birthday. “I combined sentimental handmade gifts, with humorous ones as well as some of his favourite sweet treats. The gifts are unique and not what you’d automatically think to buy (i).”

You can also ask him if there’s something he has been wanting to get but hasn’t got around to buying yet and whether you can get that for him. Alternatively, focus on his hobbies and passions and get him gifts related to those fields.

7. Plan A Shower With Him

Although it requires a decent level of trust and intimacy, taking a shower together brings you both closer emotionally and makes you more confident about your body. Try a romantic setting of a bubble bath with scented candles and petals.

8. Go for A Long Walk

If you are contemplating spending time indoors with your boyfriend instead of going out, you might want to reconsider it. A romantic walk can ease out the regular stress of your lives and help you discover new things about each other as well. What’s more, the two of you get to spend quality time with each other!

9. Be Funny

Laughter is the best medicine. It not only relieves stress but also releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones, which make you feel great. Find ways to make him laugh. Share a joke, have a playful banter, and make funny faces. The ability to laugh with your partner is important because it shows you can take on anything that life throws at you, without getting bogged down.

10. Write Small Notes For Him

Sometimes, you may think that he might not appreciate gestures like a card or a special love note. Well, he might probably be collecting all your good morning notes and keeping it in his diary to show off to his family and friends. To make his day, leave small notes beside his pillow appreciating him for being caring, kind, and loving.

11. Notice Him Closely

You might think that this is the weirdest and creepiest thing to do to your boyfriend, but try to follow every little movement of him. The way he tucks his shirt, the way he brushes his hair away from his face, the way he smiles, etc. When he sees you staring, he might blush, but he will surely love the attention and feel closer to you emotionally.

12. Dress Up For Him

With time, we start taking things for granted and get too comfortable to make an effort to dress up.  Don’t let that happen. Every once in a while, give him a surprise by dressing up for him. This will keep the sparks alive.

13. Hug Him Close

It can bring you and your boyfriend closer than you could imagine. Hugs are not only warm and comforting, but they also relieve stress and increase happiness and social bonding.

14. Tell Him You Love Him

I Love You”  – these three magical words are very powerful. Every time he says or does something for you, remind him that you love him, and you will see him melt like ice cream. Additionally, come up with some quirky and cute things to say to your boyfriend for a deeper impact that makes his day.

Even though you feel he knows that he is the one for you and you would never get tired of loving him, sometimes, telling him might make his day. Tell him that he means the world to you and you want him to be your forever love, and see the twinkle in his eyes.
