If his answer isn’t yes, you might have to try a more persuasive (or tricky) text to get that hoodie.
Keep piling on the compliments, and you might not even have to ask to borrow it: he might just offer it to you because you like it so much!
If you really want to play this up, compliment him on how powerful and manly he looks in his hoodie. This is especially effective if you have something you need good luck for, like a test or presentation.
After you get a hold of it, he might let you keep it so he’s “always” keeping you warm.
Plan to go somewhere directly from somewhere else, like school or work to a park. Make your plans sound time-sensitive if he asks why you can’t go home first. For example, “We have to catch the sunset!” or “It’s a surprise!”
If he doesn’t get it, mention all the classic movies and shows you’ve seen where a guy is chivalrous by sharing his jacket. Don’t be afraid to be corny and over-the-top. For example, you could be like “Haven’t you seen the end of Titanic? Don’t you want to be my Jack?!”
This is because of pheromones, but you probably won’t have to explain it too thoroughly before your charm and humor win him over. “I heard wearing something with your significant other’s scent strengthens your feelings for them!”
Plus, smell has a huge effect on memory, so you can tell him he’ll always be thinking of him. (Awww. ) This is especially effective if you guys don’t live together or see each other super often.
If you think talking about sleeping together is a little too intimate for your boyfriend, you can switch it out for something more casual. For example, “I want to walk around in your hoodie so it’s like you’re walking with me. ”
This is especially the case if you’re a girl wearing your boyfriend’s clothes. That being said, if you’re wearing anything that fits or looks different from what you’d normally wear, people will probably be able to connect the dots.
If he’s really anxious, offer to wash it for him before you give it back.
If he doesn’t agree to your offer, you might have to compromise a bit so you’re both happy. Negotiate nicely to convince him! For example, “I totally understand. Can I just wear it now and give it back to you after class?” If you keep your promise this time, he might let you keep it longer next time.
Try to not take it personally if he doesn’t let go of his absolute favorite hoodie.
Remember to keep your word: you’ve got to respect his decision if he says no. Just because he said no this time doesn’t mean he won’t change his mind later!
