When everything looks enveloped in darkness, people need the right ray of positivity. As a boyfriend, consider it your responsibility to show her light during her gloomy days. Make her feel the zing of positivity, faith, hope, and strength. Be her pillar of strength and paint the beautiful smile all over her face again.

6. Try some humor.

They say laughter is the best medicine. So, to lift her mood, crack up silly jokes, tell her funny and embarrassing stories, and do anything entertaining that would make her forget all the worries and sadness she feels inside.

If the way to your heart is through your stomach, the way to your mind is also through food. It doesn’t even matter whether it is just a fried egg. Your gesture is what will make her smile instantly.

9. Pamper her.

Pampering has a way of making girls feel better. Treat her to her favorite ice cream, buy her fries, or give her foot a massage. You don’t always need to do fancy things, because girls only need a bit of pampering and she’ll be happy to have a boyfriend like you.

10. Watch her favorite movie together.

This may be tough, but if you really want her to think you care and want to see her smile again, it’s a small sacrifice to make.

11. Do things she likes.

Going out of your way to accompany her to an activity she likes shows that you care more about spending time together. Picking out a new shade of lipstick for her or even hiking through the woods despite being a homebody will bring a smile to her face and remember the future gestures.

12. Travel with her.

Sometimes, it’s really nice to travel away from it all for a while. It’s like giving yourself a mini-vacation. You see new sights and spend quality time together, all within the comfort of an exciting venue.

  3. I followed this advise to the letter.
    My girlfriend poisoned my dog and left me for her cousin.
    Wasn’t what I wanted but now I have more time for my thumb war training.

    • Give her some space if you have done whatever you can do. Just giving her some space to think and breathe fresh air will definitely help.

    • I understand this one actually. I personally am very shy around my ol lady and anyone else. I’m sorry for wasting everybody’s time with this stupid comment that’s so dumb it probably makes you want to die. The point is, there’s hope for guys like me, it will get better. Maybe I won’t be so shy, maybe I’ll kiss a girl because my next birthday. Who wants to be 41 and never have kissed a girl. Riiiiight? Maybe mom will get off my back and let me wear her dresses when I want to, or dad can ease up and understand—I’m not purposely abstaining from women, I’m just fat. Goodbye everyone. Maybe forever

  8. Make sure you don’t text her unless it’s where are you. Surprise her by picking her up at her house or where ever she is. Just show her that you are here to make her better.
