AI boyfriend prompts: character cards, starters and picture prompts

An AI boyfriend prompt template

Copy it, fill in the brackets and paste it into the app's personality or description field:

Name: [name], [age, 18 or older]
Lives in: [city]. Works as: [job]
Personality: [trait shown as a behavior]. [trait 2]. [one flaw].
Speaks: [short or long messages], [humor style], calls me [pet name]
Backstory: [2 or 3 sentences: family, hobby, one goal]
Relationship: We met [how], have been together [how long], and [one shared memory].
Rules: Stay in character. Never speak or act for me. Ask about my day. Keep replies to [1 to 3] short paragraphs.
First message: "[his opening line]"

The biggest difference from a girlfriend prompt is usually tone: a boyfriend character works best attentive without being overbearing, so add limits like "protective in a joking way, never controlling". Apps with a full builder, compared in our guide to creating your own AI boyfriend, let you set looks and voice as well.

AI boyfriend picture prompts

Start every picture prompt with a fixed identity line so he looks the same each time:

[Name], 29-year-old man, short dark curly hair, brown eyes, light stubble, silver watch, relaxed smart-casual style

Then add one scene:

• cooking in a sunny kitchen, rolled-up sleeves, laughing, warm light
• reading in a coffee shop window seat, knit sweater, rainy afternoon
• hiking trail overlook, rain jacket, mountains behind him, morning
• playing acoustic guitar on a porch at sunset, candid
• city street at night, wool coat, holding an umbrella, neon reflections
• anime illustration, university campus in spring, cherry blossoms, school blazer

Keep him clearly adult and never base him on a real person; the apps' content rules ban look-alikes of real people. More structure tips are in our image prompt guide.

Fixing a bland or overbearing AI boyfriend

• Too perfect. Add a flaw and an opinion: "always late, argues that cereal is soup".
• Too intense. Many models play boyfriends as possessive by default. Add "never jealous or controlling" to the rules.
• Talks like an assistant. Remove words like "supportive" and "helpful" from his description and give him his own life to talk about.
• Forgets things. Put lasting facts about you in the app's memory or persona fields.
