Send him a funny picture

Take a picture of whatever you're doing. Of course, selfies always work, especially if you've just gotten your hair done or are dressed up. But turn the camera around every now and then. Show him things like your neighbor's cute cat, the beautiful view around lunch, or some cool street art you see along the way.

Not only will this help spark conversation, but it will also show him the cool, fun things you're doing. That will only make him want to be around you more!

Compliment the other person

Text him things you really like about him. An unexpected compliment can make him laugh.

Flirt with a compliment about his appearance, such as: "That shirt you're wearing today really shows off your toned arms. You must have been working out hard at the gym! You look amazing."

If you want to be more subtle about complimenting, pay attention to personality. Say something like, "You always have a way of making me feel better when I'm down. You always know just the right thing to say!"

Say miss you

Let your boyfriend know that he's on your mind. Do you ever wonder if your boyfriend thinks about you when you're not together? Chances are, he does too. The next time something, no matter how small, makes you think of him, pick up your phone and send him a quick text.

For example, if you hear a song that makes you think of him, send him a link to the song along with a simple message like, "Oh my gosh!" If you pass by a restaurant you both ate at, send him a photo with a note like, "So much fun tonight! Let's do it again soon." Make him laugh by reminding him of a joke, like texting him a photo of a frog with the caption, "Oh my gosh, that's the singer we heard at the bar that night!"

Ask questions that get him to share about himself

Giving your boyfriend the opportunity to talk about himself will help him feel appreciated and cared for. Just don't constantly ask him questions, as that will make him feel like he's being interrogated.

Try asking about his favorite childhood memories, his dreams for the future, or even what he had for lunch—anything that gets him to share something about himself.

Play dumb with random questions that will stump him, like, "If you could only listen to one band again, which one would it be?".

Ask his opinion

When you ask your boyfriend to help you decide something, it's a subtle way to show him that you think he has good taste and is trustworthy. What's better than that? Just make sure you're willing to go along with whatever he chooses. Anyone would feel offended if you asked for his opinion and then did the opposite!

For example, you could send him a photo of two shirts and ask him which one looks better.
