If we lived in a perfect world, relationships would be between two people who gave equally to the relationship. Since we know it’s not a perfect world, the relationship can be somewhat imbalanced and that’s the norm.

Many women think the man should take responsibility for making romantic gestures. While there’s nothing wrong with that, you need to be cautious and not set your expectations to the point that they are not realistic. If you do that, you will always be disappointed.

And the fact of the matter is that you should make some romantic gestures to him as well. This will help keep that part of the relationship more balanced. You might be wondering what kind of sweet things you can do for your boyfriend. Here’s a few suggestions:

Buy him things – these don’t have to be expensive things. Think about what kind of things he likes to do and try to buy him something related to that. That can really help show him that you care.

Cook for him – the old saying goes that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. We all know that men like to have someone cook for them. I’m not trying to be sexist. Women enjoy having a meal cooked for them just as much as men do. He will like the meal and appreciate the effort that went into preparing it.

Occasionally spice things up – This type of advice usually refers to the bedroom. It’s good to mix it up a bit now and again! Let’s face it, we all get into a rut from time to time and that can get boring. So let him know you care by giving things a little spice now and then.

Massages feel so great! There is a lot of stress out there and many times it makes your muscles tight and tense. He will love for you to give him a nice massage after a hard day at work.

If you do these things for your man it will make him feel special. Of course, you will love it if he learns from you and starts returning the favor. Just keep in mind to do things because you want to do them to help your relationship be better.

These are just a few ideas of sweet things you can do for your boyfriend. You know him best and can probably think of even more special ways to let him know he is loved and cared for.
