Top 9 Things a Good Boyfriend Should Do for His Girlfriend on International Women's Day

You might think that a small gift is enough, or that she doesn’t care about things like flowers. However, most women love receiving flowers. If she's a practical girl, even a small bouquet or a single flower will be a thoughtful gesture. It shows you’re considerate and romantic. And if she loves flowers, a vibrant bouquet is a must. Just remember to consider your budget—she'll appreciate the gesture, but she’ll be upset if you have to skip meals just to buy flowers for her.

When you’ve already got flowers and gifts, the next essential is the wish. For those who are good with words, this isn’t an issue, but if you’re not so great with expressing yourself, it can be tough to come up with special messages. Simple wishes like 'I wish you beauty, happiness, and success' are too common and uninspiring. To make her truly feel loved, put some thought into crafting your own message, something that shows she’s understood and cherished by you. Is she preparing for an exam? Wish her confidence and success, and remind her you believe in her because you love her. If she has dreams or plans, wish her success and assure her you’ll always be by her side. Don’t rely on clichés—speak from the heart, from the reality of your relationship, and remind her that your love is constant.

This means doing everything to win her heart: sending sweet wishes, gifting flowers, giving presents, even taking the initiative to apologize... Believe that for this day, you’ll truly be his 'princess,' and make the most of it. If possible, he might cook for you, clean up, take you to new places, and give you the things you've always wanted but couldn’t get before. Every little gesture is made to bring you joy, and he hopes you'll accept it all with happiness. Some surprises might come from his heart, and others might be exactly what you asked for. This day feels special because you’re the princess in his world.

Watching a romantic movie with your partner will make her feel special and cherished. Sitting close, discussing the film, and gazing at each other brings you both closer and helps you understand one another better. Being surrounded by other couples can also amplify your happiness. You can choose a romantic film, an action-packed one, or a horror flick if you feel like getting scared together. Just be sure to check what she prefers first – some girls might fall asleep during a romantic movie. For those who enjoy an active atmosphere, a trip to a cinema with a large screen is perfect, but if you both seek quiet, private moments, watching at home is a great option if your place offers the right space and equipment.

Though not a groundbreaking idea for March 8th, a walk in the park is a classic and affordable choice that never fails. In the park, you'll find plenty of thrilling activities that will excite both of you, as well as peaceful spots to enjoy each other’s company. If you decide to visit a shopping mall, your budget might get drained quickly, and in such a lively environment, it can be hard to have meaningful conversations or share sweet moments. A quiet park offers a better setting to talk and, if you're not yet officially a couple, it's the perfect moment to confess your feelings.

Wandering around the city to create a photo album for her is a meaningful way to spend March 8th. It can be as simple as strolling through old streets or flower gardens, but it will bring immense happiness to both of you. If you have a camera, take as many pictures as you can to capture these moments. Compliment her constantly to ease any awkwardness, and let her freely pose. During these moments, your sense of humor will melt her heart and make her feel lost in your love.

Expressing love is something every couple does daily, but on special occasions like March 8th, it becomes even more essential. For guys, especially those who are shy about using romantic words with their partner, this is the perfect time to show your love through heartfelt expressions. Girls love to hear sweet words. So, when your girlfriend receives kind words from you, she’ll undoubtedly feel over the moon. Start the day with a sweet greeting like: 'Good morning, my girl, I wish you a peaceful and warm day,' or 'Has my love woken up? A sweet new day awaits.' Show more care than usual, wish her good night with a soft kiss. No girl can resist such sweet words. However, avoid overusing overly romantic lines, as it may make her feel uncomfortable or even suspicious. Speak from the heart, as real sweetness comes when it’s genuine.

You may be a busy guy, juggling work, studies, family, or other activities, but make sure to spend extra time with her today. Watching other couples together on this special day can make her feel left out. She wants her man by her side, whether it’s shopping, running errands, or simply sharing a cup of coffee together. So, make an effort to be present with her—help her with chores, cook together, or take her to work. If not, call or text her more often to remind her you’re thinking of her. But remember, balance is key. Don’t make your boss upset by skipping work for her or neglect your mom just to be with her. A good guy knows how to balance relationships effectively.

One of the joys that makes girls happy is receiving a thoughtful and unexpected gift from their partner. Depending on your budget and how well you know her, you can choose the perfect present. For the fashionable girl who loves to take care of her appearance, dresses, shirts, lipsticks, or makeup sets are a great choice. If she’s more down-to-earth, enjoys reading, or loves pets, books, a cute puppy, or a quiet afternoon at a cozy café could be the way to go. If you're a good cook, why not surprise her with a special homemade meal or a delicious bento box? Alternatively, if you have the time, a short road trip could create lasting memories together and earn you some extra points in her heart.
