Things That All Boyfriends Should Be Doing

I've decided to make a list of things that boyfriends out there should be doing for their girlfriends.

I'm probably going to revise this, or rather, post multiple editions of it as I think of more things... So, this is just a rough draft.

Here's what ALL boyfriends should be doing...

1. Tell their girlfriends they look beautiful.  Not just when they are all dressed up fancy, but just even when they are in their downtime clothing hanging out on the couch.
2. Hold hands in public.  Totally.
3. Buy them their favorite flower, or maybe candle scent.  Or soap scent... Randomly.  Without being asked.
4. Make a random nice dinner for them.  Without being asked.
5. Clean their apartment.  Including their bathroom and kitchen.  Just offer to do it!  If she says no she says no... But just be like... "So, I was thinking, maybe I could clean your apartment for you one Saturday morning?  I'll make you breakfast and you can watch all your favorite Netflix shows while I clean.  Yeah?"  She might say no.  But she'll appreciate the offer.
6. Plan a picnic in the park.
7. Tell her every day a new reason why you think she's the coolest.  This should last for 100 days.
8. Take her to the theater.  Rent a limo.  And a tux.  Show up at her apartment and just be like... We're going on a fine evening out.  Dinner, and the theater.
9. Always be super kind and caring and compassionate.  Speak nicely to her and respectfully at all times.  Never say anything mean.  Ever.  Never ever.  Just be that gentleman.  You know the one.  The old time movies, and the fairytale esk type of guy.
10. Listen to her.  Just tell her that you want to listen to what her thoughts and opinions are.
11. Never fight with her.  Never fight her.  Girls are always right.  ALWAYS.
12. Just be there for her.  All the time.  Even if you get a 3am phone call.  Wake up.  And go be with her.  She's more important than sleep.
13. She's more important than anything that you can think of.  All of your personal hobbies, or free time activities take a second seat to her.
14. Do whatever it takes to make her smile.  She should smile and laugh a lot.
15. She should be gushing about you to everyone she knows and everyone she meets.  If she's not singing your name from the treetops... You're not doing enough.  Do more.  And after you've done more.  Do even more.
16. Do more.  And after you've done more, do even more.  And after you've done even more, do even more than that... Repeat.
17. Pay attention to everything she ever says.  Take notes.  Refer back to the notes.  Know every favorite thing she ever mentioned.  Favorite pair of shoes, favorite dress, favorite place, favorite food, favorite flower, favorite color, favorite book, favorite movie, favorite restaurant, favorite vacation destination, favorite song, favorite album, favorite band, favorite house that she drives by and every time she drives by it she points out how cute it is and that she wants a house like that some day.
18. Buy her that house as soon as you can afford it.
19. Buy her the house even if you can't afford it.
20. Buy her things even if you can't afford them.
21. Write her little cute notes.
22. Ask her what she wants you to do, then do it.  This goes for anything.  Sometimes all you have to do it just ask.  She'll tell you.  Don't play games.
23. Don't play games.
24. Don't cheat.  Don't you EVER cheat!  No guy should cheat, ever.  There's no need for that crap.  Just don't do it!
25. Maker her feel like she's the luckiest girl in the world.
26. Post statuses publicly on your social media about her and how lucky you are.
27. Make her something.  Even if you have no creative bones in your body.  Make her something handmade.  Or homemade.  Anything.  And include a little love note.

Okay, that's all I have for now.  It's a list in progress.  But I think that list works for now as a list of things all boyfriends should be doing.  I'm open to suggestions/changes/things to remove/add... etc. etc.

I feel like that's a pretty good list to start with though.
