Good Morning Messages

  1. Waking up and heading off to work, school, or errands can be a drag. Help break up your boyfriend’s monotony by leaving a warm reminder that you’re thinking about him. It can be as grand as a poem or as simple as a “good luck today.” If you’re opting for a handwritten message, place your note somewhere you know he’ll look in the morning like his cereal box or car dashboard.
    • “Morning sunshine! I’m smiling just thinking about you!”
    • “Have a great day at work xx”
    • “I just woke up and I miss you already.”
    • “My morning commute is easier with you on my mind.”
    • “Between you and a billion dollars, I’d pick you every time.”
    • “I love you to the rising sun and back.”
    • “Thank you for being you.”
    • “The universe spoiled me when it gave me you. Now go kick butt today!”
    • “Te amo. Te veo esta noche.”

  1. Who doesn’t love a good laugh? Write a kind, but playful joke or loving but groan-inducing pun about your man and leave it in a place he won’t expect (like in the microwave, or on his rearview mirror). The added element of surprise will only make your note funnier and sweeter.

Steamy Shower Messages

  1. Equally creative, suggestive, and thoughtful, next time your boyfriend takes a shower, ask him to leave the door unlocked. Then, when the mirror is fogged up, quietly come in and write a message to him using your finger. If you need ideas, remember that he’s looking at his own reflection.
    • “Wow! Someone’s been working out.”
    • “Hubba hubba! How did I find such a catch?”
    • “I like this suit on you ;)”

“I Love You Because…”

  1. “I love you” is an enormously special phrase, but sometimes we take it for granted. Get specific and tell him one unique reason he makes your heart sing. “I love you” messages are best if they’re handwritten, but you can leave them anywhere: his backpack, his drawers, his coat pocket. The choice is yours!
    • “…You make me feel like my best self.”
    • “…Every day feels like an adventure with you.”
    • “…I never feel judged around you.”
    • “…You inspire me.”
    • “…You’re my happily ever after.”

    • “ …You’re always honest with me.”
    • “…You love me even on my bad days.”
    • “…You make me laugh harder than anyone.”
    • “…You helped me find the light in the world.”
    • “…You make me believe in myself. And I believe in you.”
    • “…Even cold days feel warm when I’m with you.” [5]
    • “…I mean, have you seen you? How could I not?”
    • “…You make me feel understood.”
    • “…You don’t care what other people think of you But spoiler alert: we all like you a lot.”
