16/f....i want to do amazing things for my boyfriend...like things to show him that i care
this might sound bad but honestly, he doesn't do any amazing things for me ...like whenever we hang out we just go see a movie or whatever, don't get me wrong, i love him with all my heart but i want that relationship where we do amazing things for each other if you get what i mean...it could be anything to make him happy and know that i really care =)
I'm not going to let myself go off into the rant I want to here.
But what it basically boils down to is the phrase "I want that relationship where we _______"
That is an incredibly immature way to approach dating. I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but in all seriousness this really isn't a good thing.
At best, it shows a pathological need for attention. At worst, you're dating a real guy while hoping for some fantasy you got from some kind of media.
You want more attention from him, thats clear. Talk to him about it.
You want to do something for him? Pay attention to him. Going around on the internet shows that you're not trying to do something special to him, you're just trying to do anything special. Which means that you want special more than you want him.
Pay attention to him. Listen to what he talks about, encourage him to talk a little more about himself if you don't already, and learn about his interests, even if they aren't that interesting to you.
My girlfriend knows a ton about video games, anime, football, racing and cars, and a number of other things that don't really interest her. She knows these things because she's asked questions honestly and interestedly, and we've had conversations about them. She can intelligently join conversations I have with others about these things, and can understand me when I talk about them, giving us something more in common to talk about and relate to.
She's also picked up certain things through these. A while back she found out I really liked a certain few books by Alexandre Dumas. The Three Muskateers and The Count of Monte Cristo to be specific. I hadn't read them in years and talked about it one day and forgot it.
Two months later she bought them and brought them home as a surprise. The next chance I got I read them cover to cover one after another. That was a great gift, and was so because she pays attention to me the way I do with her. Doing things like that back and forth are much more meaningful than some generic answer you'd find online about "special events you can have with your boyfriend!" that someone here probably read in Cosmo or whatever the current popular mags are these days.

i've a dozen chocolate chip cookies from scratch and with the leftover dough i used it to make a gigantic heart shaped cookie. i made him a cd of all the songs that reminded me of him and i created a front & back cover for the cd case of two different pictures of us. everytime i get into his car he's always playing it. i bought him his favorite movie and he watched it several times a day for a couple weeks. i framed a picture of us. and i took a stack of post it notes and wrote on the first note why i'm in love with you, and on each post it i wrote a reason why i'm in love with him. and the very last post it said something to the affect of because you'll love me forever. i'll randomly buy him his favorite drink or some sort of food he likes. just recently my biggest surprise was he drove into my driveway and spray painted in the snow i wrote i love you. he loved it and later that night told me that he loved all the little things that i do for him.

Heres a few things you could do: You could write a list of everything you love about your boyfriend; all the little things he does that you love and leave it on his pillow for him to find, place his favorite chocolates in a path leading him to an ultimate gift (such as you ;) ..), bake him special heart shaped cookies, go for a lakeside walk, watch the stars together, have a spa day for the two of you, play truth or dare, cuddle with eachother, tell 'remember when' stories, kiss him on the cheek and then look away as if you never did it, make him breakfast in bed, give him a massage.. :)
Good luck ;) [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
