This One's for the Boys!
Boys! I pose you a very serious question.
As the stereotype states, girls are generally more emotional get attached easily. They also enjoy hearing cute phrases like "I love you," "I miss you," and "You're my everything" among others. I know I love it when my boyfriend does that or when he sends me cute text messages at 1AM saying he misses me.
But here's my question: Do boys like hearing this?
Deep down I know everyone loves to hear that someone loves them or misses them, but do they enjoy getting these messages as much as girls? Do they get giddy? Do they smile randomly?
Do you send messages like this to your boy? Boys, do you like receiving them?

Those are always nice, but my favorites are the ones that have a little individual color. For example, I was feeling really depressed a few months ago when I was still trying to get a job. My girlfriend sent me a text saying that she loved me and that I was going to be okay and it made me feel a lot better. That's really all it took to turn things around that day.
I defnitely appreciate it. the little things that make me lover her more and more
I like them. Always nice to hear.
Real men slay dragons and conquer kingdoms. So kind words of support from yon damsel are always greatly appreciated.
Yes! I would love to get these types of messages :)
Who wouldn't?
The only way I would not like it is if she becomes clingy.
If you're going to send one every night there's a problem there.
"You're my everything" doesn't come until I married the dude for a few years. But I do say "I miss you" and "I love you" to my husband occasionally when we were dating. It's always great to hear or receive them, too, since I don't hear it often.
I know guys do. Doesn't everyone like to know they're appreciated and loved as much as possible? We only live once, let those you love know you love them.
Why wouldnt they? Its nice to be flattered.
Sweet watermark.
Of course, everyone loves hearing that. However, if it's done too much, it can come to mean less over time. It's best to know when is the right time and place to say it. If a guy hears it too much, it becomes a little annoying. Those words are supposed to be powerful, so don't overuse them and ruin that!
I like hearing it but only if it's sincere. I've heard it in person and I've seen it in letters(and I mean snail mail here). It means a lot either way but it absolutely has to be sincere. And what i mean by that is not the "smoochy poo, I miss you" blabber blabber nonsense. But maybe it's been a long day and she just calls and talks about her day or something and at the end of the conversation simply says, "i miss you". That can be all I need out of a conversation.
Oh, and I'm pretty rare with the "I love you"s so when I say it...it means something.
only when they mean it
I would enjoy it. Right up there with reaching for my hand or jumping on my back for a piggy back ride.
i've always believed actions speak louder than words. you can say "i miss you" or "i love you" all you want, but ultimately, the words are meaningless to me unless they are supported by how you treat me.
Definitely.
I appreciate it. Like Kev_IT said, in moderation. Otherwise, it just seems out of habit and loses its authenticity.
I hate it when my significant other says those kinds of things. It's embarrassing!
Couldn't tell you, but I think it would be nice.
I enjoy those things when they occur at an appropriate time in the relationship and don't happen to the extent that would be considered clingy. Of course when I was dating my wife I didn't mind hearing those things more frequently than past girlfriends, it probably has something to do with how I felt about her.
Just compliment their man parts and tell them how badly you want them in that moment.
Ha ;)
Jokes aside, I do believe that the guys do enjoy meaningful things like that, except, "I love you" definitely can get overused, I wouldn't recommend saying that all the time... My boyfriend would be annoyed as hell if I said that all the time. "you're so hot, cute, sexy, etc" can also get boring....
Bottom line is, don't be cookie cutter... don't be boring and clingy...
Find something unique and cute, and ego-boosting to say to brighten their day.
@litt0_h0nii@xanga - because lies are insulting. whether in a romantic relationship or a friendship actions that
showaffection mean a lot more than words, and no i'm not talking about sex.
Even though it might be embarrassing to receive, especially around the guys, I always feel a little happier. It's always nice to feel appreciated and wanted.
Of course hearing/reading something like that will make me happy and feel more appreciated. Even if I am with the guys and I receive it and they make jokes about it. It wouldn't bother me cause my relationship with her is different than with the guys and I know they simply don't understand our relationship because of that
I like to hear this when it's sincere, if it gets to a point where I'm hearing it ad nauseum verbatim it seems to lose its meaning to me. Saying it, often if you have to, but don't go overboard in saying it.
I always tell my boyfriend how much I love him. I love seeing his face when I tell him how much he means to me.
