  • If you are in a serious relationship, his birthday can be a great way to tell him where you would like the relationship to go. You can say, "I love being in a relationship with you and can see us spending our lives together."
  • Plan a fun activity for him and tell him you have a special surprise for him later. You can tell him, "I've got something awesome planned for you later and I can't wait for you to see it!"
  • You can say, "I love you so much and can't wait to celebrate you today!"

A Guy Who Does Not Like Birthdays

Some people just don't like birthdays. No matter how much you may love your boyfriend, he may not want you to remind him of his birthday. A few things that you can say to your boyfriend who doesn't like birthdays are:

  • You can tell him how much you love him. No matter what day it is saying, 'I Love You,' is always a great idea. You can say, "Have I told you today how much I love you?" If you aren't in love you can say "... care about you."
  • Don't tell him it's his birthday but don't make it obvious that you are trying to avoid the topic either.
  • If you must mention it is his birthday, just call it his special day. You can say, "Let's have a great day together and enjoy this special day."
  • Birthdays are a good time to discuss how much you mean to each other. Even if he isn't into celebrating, you can still spend quality time together. You can say, "I love spending time with you."
  • You can mention, "You make me so happy. I appreciate what a great boyfriend you are."

Why Are Birthdays Special?

At some point, you may find yourself asking what makes birthdays so special. After all, everyone has one annually and thousands of people share the same birthday. However, many people value birthdays as more than just a simple day of the year. The following are a few reasons why birthdays matter:

  • Everyone grows older on a birthday. When you are younger, this is exciting (getting closer to getting your license or drinking) and when you are older it's not as delightful. However, birthdays signify aging and that everyone is human.
  • In astrology, a birthday is (in most cases) the only time of the year when all the planets fall as they did on a person's birth date.
  • Many cultures celebrate birthdays more than they do actual births.
  • Birthdays are a great opportunity to celebrate your relationship.
  • Birthdays offer a chance to express how much you care about someone.
