Murphy is absolutely right! If he doesn't want to gain don't manipulate him into it.
So, no. Don't take any of these suggestions I've been reading. Don't bake him a big cake and "appeal to his competitive side" and bet him to eat all of it. Don't "accidentally" make him a giant sandwich. Don't take him out to eat with the purpose of fattening him up. Or making him fatty treats for that reason. It isn't really a matter of if you push them on him or not if you have ulterior motives.
You want him to gain? Talk to him about it! You know, like someone in a healthy relationship would.
This. Maybe he'll decide to change his body for you after talking with him about it, and maybe he won't. It's his body and his choice about it, and one has to respect that and not manipulate him in any way, even if the manipulation seems minor or harmless. And if he chooses not to gain/etc, then nothing can be done I'm afraid.
