100 Super Sweet Things To Do For Your Girlfriend

Some people really appreciate acts of service. This is the idea that for that person to feel love—they want you to spend their energy and effort on them. I mean, that’s absolutely reasonable! That’s why when my friend Erin asked me, “Ryan, what are super sweet things to do for your girlfriend to show her that you love her?” Well, I wanted to come up with the ultimate list!

What is love exactly? Well, based on a paper published at Harvard, “According to a team of scientists led by Dr. Helen Fisher at Rutgers, romantic love can be broken down into three categories: lust, attraction, and attachment. Each category is characterized by its own set of hormones stemming from the brain.”

It’s really important to learn exactly how your girlfriend feels love before you decide to jump into some ideas! A framework for communication, that I really like, is the 5 love languages framework.
