There are so many ways that a guy can show his girl how much he loves her without breaking the bank. We’ve all seen the tweets, the Facebook posts and Tumblr pages that surround this idea. Here’s a total girl-approved list for all you guys out there that are struggling on how to show your girl you love her.

1. Leave a love letter or note on her bed, or on her car that simply says, “I’m thinking of you.”

2. Say something cute or sweet about her on social media.

3. Make her dinner. We love guys who can cook!

4. Bring her favorite snack over the next time you hang out. Food = love.

5. Play with her hair.

6. We loved to be massaged. Back, feet or legs. You name it, we love it!

7. Play our favorite songs, even though you totally hate our music.

You see, guys, it’s not about the material things for us. We know money doesn’t grow on trees and quite frankly we’d rather have all of the above over new undies from Victoria’s Secret any day. Trust us on this one. I’m a lucky girl and get to experience the majority, if not all of these things, on a daily basis from my boyfriend. I know he loves me and he didn’t even have to drop a dime to show me.
