i love this! =] its so true, the small things is what counts and we need to make sure that we appreciate them for it and vice versa. I love those random text right before i go to bed or wakin up in the morning :]

You know what's funny? I actually do all of the nice and cute things that chicks seem to love. From day one, I surprised my high school sweetheart with dinners, kissed her on the forehead, opened her doors, etc. I didn't do it excessively or anything but I certainly was the "romantic movie guy". You know what happened?…She broke up with me 3 years later in college. And one of the main reasons was because all of those nice things I did for her made the relationship "too perfect" (exact words).

Go figure.

You're not going to believe this, but here's a guy who actually read all your posts. I appreciate you realize that all those little things are our way of saying "I love you". What I don't understand is why you ladies are more willing to say you appreciate our gestures to each other? Are you telling your guy the same thing? Sometimes we try so hard to make you feel good with all our little, silly things we do, really try to do the right thing by you–but, if you don't tell us, we get to feeling you don't appreciate them (and, consequently, don't appreciate us). Can you guess where that's going to lead? I'll pass on a little bit of knowledge, here. If a guy gets to feeling unappreciated, he's going to find a lady who does–and who tells him she does.

Things only get boring when you stop trying.

I agree with this post; it usually IS the little things that make or break a realtionship.

My b/f is great for these. I'm a nurse, and shift work makes eventhe smallest things, like eating together, tough sometimes. So he'll do the laundry, or the dishes for me. And he ALWAYS gives me a kiss when he's off to work and I'm falling alseep in bed from a night shift.

Girls, grand displays are ok, but it's the little things he does to make your life easier or to let you know he's thinking about you that really count. And vice versa!!

So true! I appreciate big things, but I don't expect them. The small things really do mean so much, and it seems like a lot of guys don't realize how nice that random text is

My boyfriend and I often cook together and he insists on washing the dishes himself, whether its at his place or mine. It’s a sweet gesture And I always get that random 2pm text saying something like “you’re the best girlfriend in the world” or “I cant wait to squeeze you when I see you!”

“Or even your guy buying you flowers and cooking a romantic dinner on a random Thursday night.”

My boyfriend did this for me yesterday (Thursday haha)..flowers & all.. I guess I’m a lucky girl.

Yes but it also means you shouldn’t have low expectations either. I understand what you are saying but a grand gesture now and then is a little needed. It can be as simple as taking me out to dinner once in a while. Especially when you live together things can get hella boring fast.

I agree, it's the little adorable things in life that make you happy. The big expensive things are material and don't last.

Sarabeth, for a longhorn this is actually a really great article!!!

(jk, I actually like the UT kids, its Texas Tech that makes me want to shudder)

This is exactly what I've been thinking and telling my friends! They want this huuuugeee gesture but they're bf's are so sweet and show that they care is many MANY small ways! I wish that more girls would come to realize this!
