Here are some small gestures that you can do that could go a long way and cost less than $5

Now, my data could be skewed because I recently started dating someone that has appreciated all the little gestures that I do and I want to preface these small things first.

• Don’t do the ones of these that would feel forced or unnatural for your personality
• Don’t do some of these if you have only been seeing the person for a week or two and the relationship isn’t established (they could come off as creepy).

1. I’m sure that at some point in your conversation the person you are talking to talked about snacks. For instance the woman I’m now seeing said she likes gummy bears and Halo Tops Ice-cream (because it’s low on calories). So I went and picked up some of my favorite brand of gummy bears to introduce her to them and got her favorite flavor of ice-cream to put in my freezer till the next time she came over. It cost me $3 for each of those and she was super happy when we were watching a movie and I pulled out the gummy bears.

2. If this is something that could be natural for you, and you have been talking for more than a few weeks write a small note to her and mail it to her, like traditional mail. It cost $1.50 for a nice quality envelope and stamp and It doesn’t have to be a massive love letter. But just some words of affirmation. (This is very much something that is particular to the person receiving it and not all people will like it so read your relationship)

3. Give a massage without trying to get laid or complaining. A 10 minute massage can feel amazing for the person receiving it and can relax them go 8-10 minutes and kiss them on the head. Then go back to sitting together or cuddling. When your done don’t say “now it’s my turn” or try to grind them or try to get them to take off their top. Just give them a respectful 10 minute massage. It’s free, or a $2 lotion and without the pressure for sex will go a hell of a lot farther.

4. If you are going over to their place. Bring a small gift or snack that they mentioned recently. Her and I were talking one day and she said she was craving tres leches cake but when she went grocery shopping so the next day, on my way to her place I stopped by a cafe rio and picked up one of their tres leches for $5 and it blew her mind that I remembered and would do that. She did the same thing a few days later when I mentioned I ran out of my Favorite Salsa that Trader Joe’s has. She asked what it was in conversation then when she was shopping a few days later she picked it up for me out of the blue. $3 that made my day better.

5. Now we all know some people are homebodies but not everyone wants to just come over and hang out in your room all the time. Google free things to do in (your city) and you can find some great free places to go. In my city two different art museums are free once a month, the library has things called culture passes (I have taken dates to the science center, natural history museum, art musician, and concerts for free with this), look to see if you have any Riparians in your area and go have a picnic.

There are number of other things that you can do that can go a long way. That are easy and cheap that the person should
