Best way to show someone you love them?

Sharlovesjohn

My boyfriend and I have been going out for 6 months its been amazing couple of months and we both agree that we love each other more then anyone else we both have had our fair share of relationships in the past,
last couple of weeks we've been at each others throats both been under alot of stress but were back on track i want to show my boyfriend that he means the world to me any suggestions?

You can expect all the After Hours crowd to come on and say a 'BJ and a can of beer', preferably at the same time.

I would suggest that the best way you can show him you love him is to stop jumping down his throat and just show him you enjoy his company. Its the simple things that count..

Cheers il keep it in mind

My simple answer ......... "Tell him". There is no substitute.

All the best.

The best option and cheapest option is just to tell him! Well actually no thats not strictly true, the best and cheapest way is to show him, thats right honey get your groove on and give that man the night of his life!!!

Aside from that you can say it to him in loads of corny ways that he will remember e.g. I spelt out the words I love you, on my bed with my knickers and when he walked into the room he got a great surprise I also hired the same guy a Harley Davidson out for a weekend in London, so there are expensive ways to say it too

Dont try and overcompensate for your hard couple of weeks though, those weeks are in the past its the future that counts now.

Best of luck and have fun!

sometimes i do something nice for him like iron his clothes while he is out (he knows i hate ironing so he appreciates it)

if i wanted to show my boyfriend i really loved him this is what i would (and have done)
invite him over for dinner or if you live together surprise him
make his favourite dinner, have his favourite drink (marques de caceras, faustino, r plain old corona)
meet him at door with said drink in hand wearing his favourite outfit and sexy lingerie underneath (that he wont find til later)
romantic dinner (preferably something you eat with your hands) music in background (not soppy or classical unless he likes it but maybe killers, snow patrol is a good one cos not too rock)
home cooked chocolate souffle with good quality vanilla icecream, (or romanitica etc)
watch a good movie (or if you really love him, football) turn off both phones
if i have the money to spare i buy himself a little gift (like cufflinks, new shirt, maybe the aftershave he was going on about, or something small and inexpensive)
naughty things in clean bedroom with fresh sheets and candles and give him back rubs listening to hi favourite cd
Next morning big fry up with the things he likes (i like fried eggs he likes poached so i make him poached)

but that is for special ocassions only because it takes a lot of time and you dont want to spoil him lol

do the ironing - all of it

This

buy him a really thoughtful surprise online and have it delivered to his house..... dont put your name on it just see can he guess.

it works perfectly unless you answer the door and have to try and convince the delivery man to ring the doorbell again and then pretend to be peeing and get him to answer the door

coadyj

well, don't try too hard. Otherwise he will expect it all the time. I would say play out one of his fantasies with him

Reesy

Write him a handwritten, romantic letter. Maybe draft it, leave it a day & rewrite it. Declare your love for him. Measure each word. Organise things so there's some kind of delay between him reading it & you next meeting.

What a lovely problem to have!

It's quite astonishing how many people come up with excuses not to simply talk about it and tell him.

My gf knows for a fact i love her because i always tell her and show her. It's an accumulation of little things but now and again a big(ish) thing.

Examples:

Big(ish): Found out Ben Taylor (one of her faves) was playing here, tried to make sure she didnt find out, bought tickets, got her friend to invite her out on the nite and when she arrived to meet her friend at the venue i was there with 2 tickets to her fave singer who she didnt even know was playing. She loved it.

Small: I wrote "I Love (name)" on her little fridge magnet whiteboard for her to find after i was gone

Big: While i was studying in Spain (and she was at home) we hadnt seen each other for 4 months so i organised flights home for 3 days, got my flatmate to ring her from Spain (who had flown home for exams) saying he had to meet her at The Spire coz i had given him a present to give to her and when she showed up i was there with a bunch of flowers

Small: Randomly tell her how she makes ME feel loved. It makes her feel appreciated...............

There's others but they're just some examples

Yeah, me too. Mostly they're small things nowadays (we're together nearly 20 years) but they're still frequent.

I've told him loads of times but I like love to be proven you can say I love you to anyone its showing you mean it I was after was looking for something special as he went out on search for a bunch of flowers and a box of my favourite sweets for me at half 10 on a weekday night because we had an arguement and he wanted to show me I mean alot to him,

LegacyUser

Tell him today !! Dont wait...there may be no tomorrow !!

Live each day as if it were your last day !!

LegacyUser

Simply tell him and give him a hug.....but I'd also get a picture of both of you together and have it framed and give it to him as a gift as a constant reminder that you're by his side. It worked for me!

MariMel

for me its the little things that can make you realise you love someone and that someone loves you back.

I'd been with my fiance a few months when i was standing in my kitchen looking out the window at him putting up a clothes line for me(i;d already been living in the house over 2 yrs before we met and had never gotten round to doing it). I just looked at him and thought...I love that guy!!!!. He had just gone out and bought the clothes line without telling me then came in and put it up.

He knows I love him cos i put his favourite programme on reminder and i got eurosports on my Sky because he loves motorbike racing.

One other thing we will both swear by is the 20second hug.
No matter how bad or good our days have been, when he gets home we have a silent 20 second hug, standing as close together as we can, arms wrapped around each other. Even if either of us has had a stressful day being in that position relaxes us as we know we are with someone who loves us. It has been known to increase to a 'family hug time' too (what my son calls it), which can improve our family closeness.

Koushki

it really is the small things that count.

but fair play to he guy who flew over to give his gf her bday present and her not knowing, like that's so romantic. she's a lucky gal!

+1 but remember to keep it silent and no dropping of the hands works a charm for destressing in the evening.
