Cute Things to Say to Your Boyfriend

Are you looking for cute things to say to your boyfriend to show him appreciation?

I’m a guy… And I absolutely love it when a girl says cute things to me. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re a girl/woman… And that you’re looking for a cute thing to say to a guy!

First off, let’s say thank you to you! The person who is looking to say nice things to a guy. It’s very hard for men to communicate how much this can mean to them. To have a woman appreciate them.

My experience with women telling me nice things…

Here’s the thing, I love when this happens. And it makes me want to be a better person.

This is the reason why it’s a great idea to share a little something sweet with the person that you care about. Because, well, they’re going to strive to want to be better for YOU!

If they don’t… then it’s time to dump that person! Because they don’t appreciate you. I know you’re looking for some sweet things to say to him. So let’s jump into it.

Paragraphs—cute things to say to your boyfriend that are lengthy

—Full paragraphs of cute things to say to your boyfriend

When I first ran into you, I could have never pictured that what we have now would have happened. I think it was by accident. Although, something in my heart is telling me that this was “meant to be.” Sometimes, I can withhold how I really feel about you. But I want you to know that you’re the only one I want to be with. And that I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I would literally do anything for you. I love you.

My heart is so full when I’m with you. Our connection is something that I can’t truly describe. All that I know is that when I’m with you, I do feel complete. I feel vulnerable and young, and I feel like I’m comforted. You make me feel secure. And I have never felt that with anyone else. This is why I call you my king. Because you truly are my king! I love you very much!

There’s really nothing I would do to change you. In my eyes, you are perfect. Every inch of you is an inspirational man to others around you. Sometimes, I wish that other men would learn from you… I also know that it would never work. Because there truly is no other man like you. When I look into your eyes, I feel you see me as the person that I’m intended to be. It’s like I finally feel whole. I wish it didn’t take me so long to meet you. Now that I have, though, I will never let you go! I will always work hard for you.

When and where to put these cute things to say to your boyfriend

Here are some ideas about when and where to leave a cute message to make him feel the positive impact of your words.

1. Sticky note on the mirror

If you live together or spent the night together, this is a great one. If you don’t have a sticky pad, you can use lipstick or even just a notepad. Any type of scratch paper will do the trick in this scenario. The idea is that he finds it “by accident.” Or that it’s a “surprise” to him.

2. A simple love letter

Writing a love letter by hand is a very kind act. It takes time. It’s different than a text message (which is much faster to produce). The act of writing a letter by hand has increased in value due to the digital world. Take your time, write in cursive, and maybe spray your perfume on it to make sure that he smells you.

3. Texting him randomly throughout the day

Sending a text message throughout the day is a great idea. If you’re going to do this, the best way to send one is to make sure that he’s not expecting it. Typically, the afternoon is great for this. Maybe when he’s at work or at school. So the next time he looks at his phone, he’s got a sweet text message from you.
