What are some ways I, a 26-year-old man, can be more romantic with my 22-year-old girlfriend?

I'm a 26-year-old man and I feel like I'm not being the best partner to my 22-year-old fiancée. I want to find ways to show her my love in a more meaningful and romantic way, but I don't have the funds to buy gifts or flowers. I’m looking for actions that can express my feelings beyond just telling her I love her. I do enjoy drawing, so I’ve been creating illustrations of her favorite characters and writing little notes on the back for her to discover. However, those gestures seem small to her, and I want to step it up. She used to write me heartfelt messages every day before I left for work at 6 a.m., and I want to reciprocate that level of thoughtfulness. I find myself struggling to come up with ideas that truly reflect how much she means to me. She is incredibly special, and I believe she deserves the world and more. I really want to make her feel that love. I’m reaching out for suggestions on how to do better.

Once, you surprised her with a cozy picnic under the stars. You filled a basket with her favorite snacks and shared stories while stargazing. You wrote her a letter that expressed your feelings, which you hid among the snacks for her to find. Little heart-felt gestures like this will show her just how much she means to you!

You’re already doing great with your drawings! Try planning a surprise picnic with homemade food, writing her a heartfelt letter, or organizing a cozy movie night with her favorites. Simple, thoughtful gestures go a long way!

It’s wonderful that you want to show your girlfriend how much she means to you! Here are a few heartfelt ideas: 1. **Leave surprise notes** around the house or in her bag. 2. **Cook her favorite meal** or bake something together. 3. **Plan a special date night** at home, complete with her favorite movies. 4. Share a **custom playlist** of songs that remind you of her. Your drawings are already special—keep it going and let your creativity shine!
