Cute things to do in a relationship

Hi everyone, I'm in this new relationship and it's so far so good, however, i feel like the cutesy stage is coming to a close...too early (we've been together for 1 month, known each other for 2). i wanted to know what types of cute little things I could send him or do? i made him something one day, he leant me his DVD and when returnuing it, I made a little jacket of of paper, coloured and costructed it as if i was back in elementry school and added a clute little note in it on paper i could out in the shape of a star. he thought it was the cutest thing and I could tell he appreciated it because i took time to make it as suppose to buying it (showed i care) but now, i'm all out of ideas and he's not that creative, nor do i think he realizes that people do this stuff in relationships just because, besides, I want to do this for him
what do you think i can do i.e, things i can send or do while we're at work (we work at different places) things i can do when we're apart, or when we're together

I don't want people to think of this message as me trying to buy his love or trying too hard in the relationship, it's NOT LIKE THAT at all!!!! the relationship is fine, I just want to do little cute things

any suggestions??

Just do it and done!!

I have found that most men do not like the cute stuff so if you like to do those things and he likes to receive then that's great. The men I have known have liked thoughtful things...like picking up a new cd from his fav band.

My first husband used to do cute and romantic things for me moreso than I did for him. He used to leave little notes with different thoughts all over my room (I was still living at home at that age) and in my drawers. He used to write a lot of letters and cards. He used to carve our initials in trees or messages in sand walls. He used to buy me buttons for my collection and he would pick up a smurf every now and then - hehe that gives away our ages. He enlarged a picture of the two of us from a very special day into a wall mount (I liked that one a lot). It was about 8" x 10". He made sure to develop rituals or times we would always spend together - like on Sunday mornings he always went down to the bagel store and picked up breakfast while we read the NY Times. Weekends in the summer were for camping. Weekends in the winter were for skiing. We would always go to a particular orchard each fall and pick apples and buy cider. All of the above, I felt, he did "right". Maybe some of that can give you an idea or two. Unfortunately the minute we landed in Florida all of the above flew out the window and we later divorced.

I'm right there with you on this one. I call this early time in a relationsip the honeymoon stage....it's my favorite time.

We're three months into our relationship and he's done so many sweet things for me. The most recent was an air freshener for my car....so I think about him everytime I'm in my car. He has given me a few cards too...just something silly and cute...and I have them all over my room.

This is a great post as I was thinking about posting the same question. I personally really like the cards and my bf/me have a white frosting cupcake thing going where we tend to get each other a white frosting cupcake if we are by one for one another.

Also, some books with some kinky ideas he tends to like as well
