View Full Version : How to Say I Love You

Remember the words from an old song...
"Be sure it's true when you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie".
The concept of "sin" has lost its meaning for most in our modern era, and even "love" has lost its importance.
If you still believe in "falling in love" then you will realize how difficult it is to say, "I love you" in a meaningful way. Three little words that could change your life forever. The words, themselves, have lost their meaning because of overuse especially when it's not really true. Everybody says them.
However, when you want tell your partner of your love it's such a hard decision to make for many reasons. Will your partner return your love? Will your partner simply accept your declaration with indifference? Will he or she feel threatened? It is such a common problem that even "The Seinfeld Show" had an episode on it.
So make it easy on yourself and plan the declaration so that as much as possible you eliminate the problems. The first step, of course, is to be certain you really are in love. If you so enjoy being with your partner that you want to be with him or her to the exclusion of all others, if you think of him or her every day when you are apart, you are probably in love. If you have even a small doubt you should wait a little longer.
If you are certain then plan a special occasion for it. Make it a significant moment in your life - one to remember with fondness for your whole life. Arrange an intimate dinner at your favorite restaurant and make it as romantic as you can. Give him or her a small gift because you love being with them, or you are so glad that you met them.
After dinner while holding your partner intimately gaze intently into their eyes and say, "I love you so much it hurts when we are apart. I hope that we can stay together forever".
Do not be disappointed if your partner does not return your declaration. They may not yet be ready and might need more time to state their feelings. Continue to share with your partner the highs and lows of your partner's life. Care for your partner's happiness and be on guard to protect his happiness.
Under no circumstances should you ever ask your partner, "Do you love me"?

Well people now a days find it easy to say I love you, but I find it really hard to say to someone that I love You, but you might feel when the people who says I love you to you is just lying or not!

I remember the time first time I declared I love you to my first girlfriend. My heart wants to burst for I couldn't even know what to say first. But when I have already told her what I supposed to say, I was relieve.
I guess that feeling nowadays is not felt anymore. Love is a gift that makes us feel very special and make someone feel that same way too. People now are just playing with love and that's why there are lots of broken families.:(

I have been in relationships where the guy has said "I LOVE YOU" after 2 weeks of being together! And my answer of course is "You can't. You barely know me"
There is such a thing as saying it too early. I for one want to run for the hills when I hear those words so soon. Even after 4 months I feel the same. I have loved many of my ex boyfriends but only been in love once. Too often those words are used. Hence why I am very careful. I won't say it if I don't mean it

when is the right time to say it? if we are in love, we know it quite soon. if we share desire and it's perfect from the start, then we can feel it. there is great sex and there is making love. it's a big difference. so isn't it after a few of those amazing making love sessions that we already know? and you don't really need a long time to know.

You know mashmac, I don't think there is a set amount of time a person has to feel love for the person they are with. I think it's whenever you fall in love with that person, you feel it & you tell them how you feel.
Some people it can happen very quickly, while others may take a bit.

Think I agree with you Sapph. - a bit of time is necessary but actually not that much to know what your heart feels.

I think if you're in love, why deny your feelings a moment further.
Just hold your partners hand and say I love you.
If you are rejected, at least you were true to your self and if you are accepted it would be a wonderful experience.

I dont like it when people say it like the day they get together, it annoys me unless youve been friends for a while and youve been feeling it for a while.

I agree with you, too.
When someone says it after 2 weeks, it's not love, it's a crush--strong attraction--symphaty, but not love. At least not in the meaning it has for me :shrug:
You have to know the other one very well, maybe the best of all people, to be really in love with him/her.
I only said ILY a few times. It's not important to say it often, it's important to mean it. Plus, there are also other ways how to 'say' it, or better show it. The words aren't always the most necessarry thing ;)

The right time to say "I love you" is when you truly believe you do love the other person.

It has lost the meaning, just like ,"I am sorry." Its something I have felt in my teenage years and felt like saying it to girls I thought I loved but looking back, it was just a crush and strong attraction. I sometimes get a chuckle out of my ways of thinking looking back and seeing how clueless I was. If I were to utter those words to someone now, it would definately have a meanig behind it, as I know what love is and more importantly what it is not.

Problem with this post is, you are planning to say it, and planning by doing what someone else thinks work well..
Would the person you've told it to be glad that you read up how to do this on the internet?
I think not..
IMO it should come from the heart, be in the moment, hopefully, HOPEFULLY, be somewhere different, original, creative, and be said there and then..
And it just happens..
It comes out.. The feeling is mutual and..
it's magical

Yes. It's true. Saying this three most important words that can stop anyone's world should come from nowhere else but from your heart. And in fact we must not say this if we could not stand up for it. These words are not easy to give, and to take back is not as well.

Saying these three words is so common nowadays and that makes me sad especially when you are saying that just to be sweet.:rant:
:lovesign:This words are so powerful that even the strongest person in the world couldn't say it if he / she really means it. These words should only be said if you mean it because it is considered sacred and we should respect it.
:kissy:Asking a girl to marry is also a difficult thing to do, it is just saying you first I Love you. But we should always remember that marriage should be taken seriously and we should think about it. If there is a very small doubt in your mind then we should wait and spend more time to make sure of that feeling because if we are not sure of our feelings and we still continue to get marry, we could destroy our life or the others. Your child will not grow up completely and the environment the child's living is not good for him. We can't afford to do that.
The best part of loving is that it is an everyday challenge that couples should face it together. Nothing in this world can ever destroy your marriage if true love is there and we can live like in the fairy tales, happily ever after in love.:bananalove:

Hello everybody,
I am new to this website. I was looking how to post a new thread, and still am not sure how to. This looks like it's in the right spot, but I don't think it's right. I am sorry if I posted it in the wrong spot. How do I post a new topic/thread? Thank you! Have a good weekend! :)

yap it is really very hard to say I Love You to your lover. I think if you like to someone then you should not hesitate to say I Love You.

It is much harder to show the love you have than saying it. It's really quick and easy to say 'I love you'. Everybody needs assurance of being loved, whispering to the ears these three words are the sweetest words.

words like "I Love You" is very sacred. You must say it with all your heart, to the right person, on the right time and for the right reason. You should not take it back instead say it out loud by putting it on actions. Those words were of course the words of LOVE.

i remember the first time my husband (still my bf that time) told me those words...it was really different for i didn't expect to hear it from him...i even asked him if he's serious or what, but when he put his arms around me and told me that he don't want to lose me then i believed him. until now he always says i love you before we sleep... and it makes me love him more each day...

It's quite an art. I remember when I was a little girl, I often heard my dad say 'I love you' to my mom before he went to work. I used to wish that my future husband would do this to me, too. And my hope came true. He says this to me everyday in the morning, and that make me feel so so so happy.

It's a sad sad situation but i think it depends on us to make a difference,like if we told it too easy teach our kids true value.That's my best opinion.

I say I love you by making him lunch, by giving him a kiss on the cheek, by telling him. I love doing things to make him happy that remind him how much he means to me.

When you really love someone words may fail to express your feelings.Your eyes say it better.You just need someone to read them.

It's better not to say it at all but rather show it.
There's a place and time for everything. So when the time is necessary, then say it. But until it's necessary, be showing it.
Always remember that action speaks louder than words.

When you sure that the time has come, you can say it. But it is better to say it in romantic setting. It is also better to be prepared for a negative answer.

While I love to be told I love you. I truly believe actions are louder than words. I would rather have a man show me he loves by being supportive. Words are just that words. Actions, well thats what make a relationship!

If he says I love you often, he's playing you for sex, money, or both.
He's just telling you what he thinks you want to hear. :bird:
