6 ways to sweeten your BF's day


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
We’ve all heard that it’s the little things that count. And we know that there are some small gestures that guys do every once in a while that make us fall in love with them all over again: buying us flowers, giving us their jackets when we’re cold, or even just opening our door. (We have a whole section of those sweet moments here.) But a relationship is a two way street, and our BFs need some love too. So, try these little things that might brighten up his day and remind him of how sweet you are. 

 

Thoughtful text

Yes, we know that you already text him when you want to hit up the movies or catch up on each other’s days. But surprise him every once in a while smile-inducing message that lets him know you’re thinking about him. Try: “I hope your day is going well,” or “good luck on that test today.”
 

Treat your sweet

If you’re whipping up a batch of cookies or brownies, save him one. Not renown for your recipes? Pick up his fave candy bar from the vending machine before school lets out. A sweet treat brightens up everybody’s day.
 

Cue the kisses

Okay, so a full make-out session before Biology might be a tad inappro. But a peck on the cheek while watching Glee? Adorbs. He’ll see that you like hanging around him and that will make him happy.
 

Just joking

A joke makes everyone smile, so never underestimate the power of laughter with your guy. Crack a few here and there to get him chuckling and chatting.
 

Compliment your cutie

Guys like it when you give them a compliment, so tell him that his new shirt looks good or that his defense rocked in the big game. It will give him a little confidence and keep him cheerful for the rest of the day.
 

Chat him up

A good convo doesn’t just make you happy; it makes him happy too. If you ask him something he knows a lot about, he won’t stop talking and it will give him the opportunity to impress you. Bonus: You might learn something that you never knew about him.

How do I dress 2 impress?

 

Hey girlie, to dress to impress you want to wear classy and appropriate outfits that make you feel confident. If you think you look great it'll show and you'll impress everyone around you!

if he still liked me why would he dump me for a new girl
yes were closer than ever but it doesn't make scenes. I think he likes me you think he likes me but he dumped me? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girlie, I can't make sense of it any better than you can. My best guess is that he didn't realize how much he liked you until he didn't have you. But, like I said, if you're still interested in him you'll just have to wait it out and see what happens.

MOD MOD MOD I was texting my crush once and he said that he likes me but wouldnt go out with me because he likes other people and it would be unfair to me. what does this mean? we still text, talk, and flirt a lot but idk...thanks

 

Hey girlie, sometimes it's hard to translate boy. He might mean that he likes you more as a friend so it wouldn't be fair to lead you on when he still likes someone else. Whatever he means, it's time for you to move on and find a boy who's interested in you and only you!
