Is this sweet or too try hard?

My boyfriend (of four months) is snowed under with revision right now and really stressed, I was thinking of getting a burger delivered to his house from a really nice takeaway company (not some little burger, a big gourmet thing with bbq sauce and halloumi etc etc) - not sure if it will be seen as too tryhard/desperate though and don't want his housemates to take the piss, what do people think?

Why would it be seen as 'try hard'?

But yeah, it seems like a nice thing to do

It's an awesome thing to do. Would love it if a girlfriend done that for me. Shows you care and are selfless, to a certain extent.

For a bf of 4 month this seems fine and a very loving idea to me. Why are you worried about it? So what about his housemates! Maybe you should give him a clue not to eat beforehand though..

You should probably tell him first though, otherwise they'll all go to the door like "wtf we didn't order food".

It's sad that people miss out on sweet gestures for fear of seeming 'too try hard', do it!

His housemates will take the piss, but tbh he prolly won't care. Go for it, it is a very good idea
