Emphasize her personality qualities—mention how creative or spontaneous she is and how much you admire it. Express appreciation for her day to day actions. Show her that you notice she took time to do her hair in a new way or tried to put a new look together with her clothes. Tell her how she makes you feel. For instance, if she has a certain look that she gives you that makes you melt, tell her. Even if you can’t explain it exactly, express this to her.

Try putting a new twist on your daily messages by writing it on her mirror before she wakes up or by placing it on a note and putting it in her jacket pocket.

Rent a convertible and drive around. Check local concerts and surprise her with a date night. Cook her favorite meal and have it waiting for her when she gets home during the week.

Think of things ahead of time to talk about—play 21 questions or truth or dare.

Wish her a good morning and good night every day. Call and talk about the highs and lows of your day before bed.
