Thinking of sweet things to say to your boyfriend can be difficult, especially if you are not used to saying sweet things or perhaps a little shy or embarrassed.

Your boyfriend may also be the same so there are a few things you might want to take into account before jumping in at the deep end!

Among all the sweet things to say to your boyfriend those famous three little words usually say it all but I know that you want to make it special and personalise it so let's talk about compliments...

Compliments

I love you may be a sweet thing to say to your boy friend but why do you love him? What is it about him that you love?  What has he done for you that nobody else can or why do you love to spend so much time with him?

Someone once told me that a compliment only meant something if it involved taking a risk.  If you think about that for a second,what they are trying to say is that it must mean something and you must open yourself up a little for it to mean anything.

For instance, we talked about the phrase “I love you”, it might be a sweet thing to say but would he appreciate that or something that you took a little risk over and opened yourself up more?

For instance  (if it happened to be true) “I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the way you have helped me be a more confident person and love myself a little more.  That's why I love you.”

See how one is a sweet thing to say to your boyfriend but the other is not only sweet, it is sincere and you took a risk.  Which one do you think he will appreciate more?

So, now we have covered compliments, let's look at the right way to do it...

Pick Your Time

Men are funny creatures girls and it is really important to pick your time wisely.  You may think it is funny to say something sweet to your boyfriend while he is on the phone to his friend or he is with his buddies but that sweet thing you said to your boyfriend will end up embarrassing him and could possibly even cause an argument.

Besides, it's much better to lean over when you are alone and simply whisper it into his ear... Don't you think?

How to do it?

If you are having trouble thinking of sweet things to say to your boyfriend then here is a way to quickly think of a couple and go from there...

Write down 3 things he has done for you.  Things that were nice, sweet, helpful, kind loving... anything like that. Make sure you start it with “you” and not “he.”

Okay, now you have done that write down how they made you feel inside, how much you appreciated it and what it means to you.

That's it, all you have to do is put them together.  Let's look at an example:

You...

• You stood for 2 hours with me in the pouring rain when we first met, waiting for my bus
• You cooked for all of my family the first time you met them
• You always open the door for me, carry my bags and put me first

It makes me...

• Feel special
• Feel love
• Go all tingly inside
• Look forward to seeing you
• Glad I met you

I appreciate it...

• More than anything
• So much
• More than you'll ever know

Put them together...

“I loved the way you stood for 2 hours with me in the pouring rain when we first met, waiting for my bus, it made me feel so special and I am so glad I met you,  I appreciate you more than you'll ever know.”

So, mix and match and see if it feels right inside, if it does, you'll know...

Go for it and make today the day you say some sweet things to your boyfriend!
