15 Cheesy Relationship Stuff Every Guy Secretly Wants
Maintaining a relationship is about keeping it exciting, catching each other off guard, and truly cherishing the time spent together.
“Surprisingly,” when we consider all those romantic gestures that can be overly sentimental or slightly cheesy, we tend to associate them with women.
Being cheesy is often seen as more of a woman’s role in a relationship because, evidently, men often struggle to initiate such behavior.
They don’t want to seem overly feminine or become the subject of ridicule for wanting to wear identical T-shirts, gaze at the starry sky, and the like.
Nevertheless, this doesn’t imply that they have no interest in such things! Men desire it just as much as women do; they’re simply too embarrassed to confess it.
In light of that, here’s a list of 15 cheesy relationship ideas every guy secretly craves!
Broadcasting sweet “I love you” messages on social media
Believe it or not, men secretly love when you announce your affection for them on social media.
Every guy takes pride in others knowing he is your significant other; it makes him feel confident.
However, this is not solely about informing others of your joy.
“I love you” posts are irresistible to them and serve as a contemporary way of proclaiming from the rooftops your love for them.
Employing cheesy pet names
Every guy loves to be addressed by cute and cheesy pet names such as “honey,” or “darling.”
And when you create a unique nickname just for them, they’re over the moon.
Calling them by those sweet, albeit cheesy names, makes them feel cherished.

Feeding one another
How often have you watched couples in a restaurant sharing bites and thought, “OMG, could they be any more cheesy?”
Your boyfriend might’ve also expressed disdain towards this, defending his masculinity, but inside, he’s eager to share this moment with you.
Feeding each other signifies nurturing and caring for one another (similar to feeding infants).
This gesture makes us feel loved and also evokes memories of childhood. Guys enjoy feeling this way too.
Crafting a love map
Yes. There’s hardly a guy who doesn’t like going on trips with their girlfriend and doing that charming act called crafting a romance map.
To make his heart skip a beat, all you need is just an ordinary map. Frame it and highlight the places you’ve explored together so far. He will adore it.
Sweet messages on Post-it notes left in unexpected spots
There’s nothing more fun and intriguing than discovering various Post-it notes hidden around the apartment.
To achieve the best results, you should do this while he’s still dreaming.
Also, consider placing them in the most unexpected spots, like beneath the sink, maybe in the shower, or somewhere he least expects.
Charming handwritten letters
Another romantic alternative to Post-it notes that guys are wild about is lovely, handwritten letters.
Even though we exist in a digital age where everything revolves around social networks, any guy would actually trade precious time for a darling handwritten letter.
They just haven’t mustered the nerve to confess it.
Praising them
No, they don’t want you to boast about them only when they’re absent.
They’re keen on hearing you compliment them to others when they are around, too.
It boosts their ego and they feel appreciated as a loving boyfriend.
They feel fantastic when others know that they are more than capable of both winning you over and caring for you.
Jamming to cheesy love ballads
Ah, those overly sentimental songs. Even though men pretend to dislike every love ballad out there (for example, Adele’s Hello), they’re secretly eager to sing along with you.
Yet, all they require is a gentle nudge and the assurance that it’s okay to sing cheesy love songs, regardless of gender.
Reading each other bedtime stories
Do you recall how your parents used to read stories to you before sleep?
At that time, it felt natural, but doing it in a relationship often gets labeled as cheesy.
But honestly, who cares? Just grab an intriguing book and share a few chapters with your partner before calling it a night.
He’ll likely be eager to return the favor by reading to you as well.
Crafting handmade gifts
Many individuals struggle with selecting the perfect gift for their significant other, often failing in the quest.
To avoid such mishaps, making your own cheesy DIY gifts is a wonderful choice because everyone adores them.
Consider crafting a frame for a cherished photo or anything else your imagination conjures up. Unleash your creative potential.
Creating a music playlist
Now that it’s clear guys enjoy belting out cheesy love songs, it’s time to put together a playlist for them – a modern twist on the mix tape.
Reflect on the songs you both enjoy and toss in a few new ones to surprise your partner. Trust me, he’ll have it on repeat, especially when you’re not around.

Conquering your fears together
Is there anything that both of you fear? Guys are simply waiting for the chance to face their fears with their partners by their side.
Whether it’s bungee jumping or water rafting, these shared moments will become unforgettable memories for you both.
Cooking up a storm together
While it’s often assumed that women are more adept in the kitchen, it doesn’t mean guys don’t enjoy doing it—particularly together.
He would surely delight in your suggestion to cook something new, especially if you ask him to help out.
Stargazing or enjoying a meteor shower as a duo
Ah, stargazing… The cheesiest of all activities, yet truly powerful.
And if you add pitch-black darkness, it turns into the ultimate romantic experience for all guys and a dreamy relationship milestone for many couples.
