Leave him a sweet message to start his day. 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.”

Steamy Shower Messages

Leave a sensual thought on his bathroom mirror. 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 ;)”
- “My heart is still skipping a beat thinking about last night.”
- “You. Me. Your room. Now.”
- “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the hottest of them all? Spoiler alert: it’s you.”

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!
