Actions often speak louder than words but these sweet things to say to your boyfriend can overshadow quite a few actions.

1) You make me feel like a better person. This lets him know that he helps you and that you need him in order to feel you are at your best. Men like to be needed. Even more, they like to be appreciated for their contributions. This lets him know that he is wanted, needed, and appreciated.

2) I am proud to know you. This is another expression of appreciation that lets him know that he is in your thoughts and you take pride in the fact that the two of your are together.

3) I love the way you make me feel. Why is this so sweet? It's sweet because you're acknowledging the impact he has on you and that you like it. He wants you to feel good when you're together. Saying this, above all else, lets him know that you do feel better because of him.

4) Thank you. It's too teeny tiny little words that speak volumes to the man you love. Not only do they make him feel appreciated but they also let him know that you are pleased with the little things he does for you along the way.

5) Nothing. Don't tell him anything. Show him how much he, and his contributions to the relationship, means to you. Buy him a gift that he’s been searching for.

Leave love notes in his lunch box

Cook his favorite dinner.

It doesn't have to be gourmet to make a lasting impression. That fact that you did it for him will make him happy even if it's something as simple as heating up a frozen lasagna (of course you don't have to let him know that's what he's getting just get rid of the box before he sees it and he'll probably never know). The way to a man's heart is through his stomach after all.

Ladies, it's easy to take your boyfriend for granted. He doesn't complain often and is generally quite agreeable as long as he's well fed and well loved.

6) Scratch his back. For men, love might not all be physical but physical attention and affection are how they often express their love. Reciprocate by offering a back scratch or rub to him. It will tell him you love him in more ways than you realize.

7) Bring him breakfast in bed. This is not something that only he can do for you. It says a lot when you reciprocate and will mean a lot to him (as long as you don't do it too early on his day off).

Have his car detailed. He's always doing thoughtful things for you that you may not even recognize (topping off your gas tank, checking the air in your tires, making sure you get your oil changed). It's time to return the favor in a way he'll really understand.

This is a big one because men often have a very special bond with their cars. When he sees you helping take care of his "baby" he will know that you're interested in taking care of him.

9) Always, always, make him feel appreciated. This is somewhat subjective. Some of it is physical and will depend on the level of intimacy (physical intimacy) in your relationship and part of it is mental you'll need to tell him how much you appreciate those little things he does for you and how important he is to you.
