Instructions

Showing Your Boyfriend You Care Without Spending a Lot of Money

1. Cook him his favorite meal.Does your boyfriend order the same thing every time you go to a nice restaurant? Try making that meal for him at home. If you don't have enough money for that particular dish, pick another of his favorites, one that is more in your price range. Many pasta dishes can be made inexpensively, especially if you use chicken or ground turkey rather than beef.

2. Offer to watch his favorite sport with him.It's important to not talk through the whole event. If your boyfriend likes to have his ego stroked, ask him an occasional question about the game but not during crucial points.

3. Give him a long and thorough massage.Don't simply rub his back lightly for 10 minutes and call it a day. Have him lie on his stomach so you can straddle his back, apply ample pressure and rub from his neck to his bottom. Just be careful not to dig into him with your nails!

4. Watch his favorite movie with him.

5. Ask him to teach you how to play his favorite video game. If your boyfriend is patient, this is a great way to show him how much you care because it shows that you are taking an interest in something he likes.

6. Read a book about a famous person he admires so that the two of you can discuss that person together.

7. Write him a love letter.If you aren't a good speaker, maybe you'll be better at expressing your feelings by writing them down. Take the time to think out what you want to say. Put the letter somewhere where he'll find it at a time when he least expects it.

8. Pack him a lunch for work and write a sweet message to him.
