If you want to get your boyfriend’s attention, be bold and take charge by planning a special date or surprise. For example, you can cook him his favorite dinner or set up an adventurous outing like a camping trip. When you do this, you’re helping to rekindle your romance while also showing him how you want to be treated. As you wait for him to give you more of his attention, take the time to focus on yourself. You can go on a girls’ trip, have a spa date with your mom, or invite your best friend over for a movie night. When you make other plans and assert your independence, he may see that he needs to make more of an effort to spend time with you. For more advice from our Relationship co-author, including how to talk to your boyfriend about how you’d like more attention, keep reading!
