Love is the greatest of all human emotions. Indeed, he who has a girlfriend has one of life’s most precious possessions. However, keeping a girlfriend demands that you remain true and sensitive to her needs. Since you are the most cherished person in her life, your girl deserves your unrequited love and undivided attention.

You may consider spoiling her with romantic gifts or taking her on vacation to enchanting faraway destinations. While all these are invaluable in making the relationship grow fonder, nothing delights your girlfriend more than a love message that expresses how passionately you value her. And the convention is that the longer the message, the better it captures your deep sense of appreciation.

1. A day that is void of your voice is to mean an incomplete one. For with your voice comes the soul melting laughter which is all I need to have a great and happy day. I hope mine makes you feel the same way. I love you my Cherie.

2. Before I met you, I didn’t think love was for me. It was something other people had and felt. Something in movies and in TV shows. It felt more like a wish I had then something real. Now that I’m with you, love is so much more tangible. It’s something I can reach out and touch. It’s so much more than a wish or a hope (though it does give me hope, for so many things), it’s the very real, wonderful person I wake up to. The warm hand next to mine, the brush of hair against my cheek. I love you and because of that love, I love so much more than you. I love myself and the world in a way I never thought possible. You’ve made that possible for me. You’ve made everything possible.

3. Even when we know that nothing in this world is eternal, I know deep down that you and I will live together till eternity. I will love you forever, and I will never fall out of love with you. I am always here to be your lover until the end of time .

4. Every day is a celebration of having you in my life. I thank God for making it possible for us to cross the path right from the beginning because that was where my life gained so much impact on your love. I can’t love you enough because you are a precious jewel in my world.

5. Everything you do… The way you eat, the way you smile, the way my name rolls off of your tongue… That all is what keeps me going. It gives me so much joy to watch you be you. I would never give my attention to anyone else because I love giving it to you. The day when you were born, it was raining. Actually, it wasn’t raining itself, but heaven was crying for losing the most beautiful angel!

6. I can create another odyssey describing my love for you. You have such a profound influence in my life that I cannot erase the memories of you even if I live for a million years. I am lucky to be part of your life. I will love you till my last breath!

7. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate having you in my life. For helping me through the bad times and being there to help me celebrate the good times, I cherish all of the moments that we share together. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary for me to tell you how glad I am to have you in my life. I am so lucky to have you by my side. Everything you do for me never goes unnoticed. I don’t know what I did to deserve someone as wonderful as you, but I am eternally grateful to have your love, support, and affection. Thank you for being you, and for having me by your side.

8. Life offers many choices to make, but loving you is the only thing I wish to do. I want to spend my entire existence showing you how much you have impacted my life. Hand-in-hand, I will prove to you that my life is better with you in it. For the sake of your love, I am ready to face whatever it takes to make you smile at all times. I will love you until I am no more because your love is my greatest wealth.

9. Love is not something that you can express in words. Love is something that is expressed by actions and felt with the heart. I don’t know how much loved I make you feel but trust me, dear, you are the most precious thing in my life. I love you!

10. My most beloved woman. Without you, I do not exist. I need you and you alone to survive the storms of life. You are such a perfect woman for me. I could barely meet someone better than you. You’re the meaning of a great experience, and I can’t love you less.

11. My world feels dark when you’re not here. Even when I’m out under a cloudless sky, it feels like there’s a haze over everything. Before you, the world was filled with so many lights, streetlights, stars, the moon , and the sun. Now it feels like you are the brightest light in my life. It would explain why I feel so warm around you, how you provide me with the energy and the strength to persevere through my darkest hours. You also shine brilliantly enough that I know I’ll always be able to find my way back to you.

12. One paragraph is not enough for me to tell you just how much you mean to me. It would take me thousands of pages to tell you just how much I love you. If I spent the rest of eternity writing, I still could not accurately portray how amazing you are and all of the reasons why I love you .

13. Our love is something that is truly special and there is no other love like ours in the world. I feel as if I have won the lottery with you, someone who is so special and magical, who makes my life and my world a thousand times better just by being there. When I look at you, I know that I have truly hit the jackpot. All you have to do in order to warm my heart is to be the loving, caring person that you are. Together, we can do so much and help each other realize our dreams because we truly have a love that is special.

14. Seeing you every day is a blessing because my heart bubbles with excitement when anything reminds me of you. I am filled with great joy whenever the thought of you crosses my mind. I do not understand why, but I can’t stop looking at you. I admire your beauty a lot, and it is one thing that strikes me. You own my heart, and I want your heart forever.

15. Sometimes when I look at the ocean or an especially large mountain range, I feel overwhelmed and small, but in a good way. It’s comforting to know there’s something out there bigger than I am. Something large and enduring that has lasted through the ages. Through harsh weather, storms and droughts, through changes in history and climate , the ocean keeps on rolling and the mountains keep on standing tall. When I think of you and our love and how I feel about you, I feel the same way. My love for you doesn’t make me feel small though, it makes me feel powerful and new. I look at you and I know that I will love you forever, through storms and droughts, through all the changes that will undoubtedly come our way. I will love you forever. There’s no changing that.

16. The first day we met was the best day of my life. I found the source of life, joy, and happiness. You are my inspiration, and I love you beyond words can explain, baby. I know that the world is waiting for our union. It will be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

17. Watching you walk across a room is the greatest gift. The way you move is so graceful and easy. The way you smile makes me feel at peace . Knowing you’re walking towards me is a feeling so hard to describe. It’s like coming home, a comfort, only the home is coming to me. I will never know such love, such peace, as you. You’re my home.

18. Whenever we are apart, have it in mind that you are always in my heart. I take the memories we create with me everywhere I go. I miss you , my love and I want you to know that gaining your appreciation is my most significant feat.

19. When I first saw you, I was attracted by your beautiful face and your charming smile. But it was the beauty of your heart that I fell for. I found an angel in you that is more amazing than what’s visible from outside.

20. When you are around me, my world turns around, and I feel your passion swell up inside my heart. I love you because when I lose control of myself, you pull closer. You are the sun in my sky, without you I’d be in darkness. I will love you until there is no love left in the world.

21. Words may fail to express how much I love you but my deeds will never fail to show my love for you. I loved you yesterday, love you today and will love you until there’s no tomorrow!

22. You are more beautiful than a summer sunset on the ocean horizon. You are more breathtaking than the lush landscape on a mountain. You shine brighter than the stars in the country sky. You are more alluring than any song that was ever sung. I had not seen what the real meaning of beauty was until I found you.

23. You are my match made in heaven. There is never a second where you aren’t there to lift me up when I need you to. I am so fortunate to have crossed paths with you in the beginning. It has brought us to this beautiful point in our lives. You are everything I could ever want in a woman. I will never want anything or anyone else. That I can promise.

24. You are the sunshine that fades all the darkness in my life. You are my road to redemption. I have never loved someone so deeply than you. I love you more than I can say. Nothing can ever change my love for you!

25. Your love attacked my body and melted my soul. If ever two were one, then I plus you will be one. Your love gives me delight than a whole bag of gold. I will love you forever.

26. Your love makes my world glow. It makes the sunrise, the winds to blow and the rain to fall. This love is beautiful because even if the sun rises, the wind blows and the rain falls on me, my love will forever be yours.

27. Your love sneaked up sleeves. Without any direction, it tiptoes gently, slowly and straight to my heart. I never bargained for its dominant grip on my heart. Now I’m helplessly under your control. You must be a magician because I don’t want to get your love off my heart.

28. Your never-ending love was all I needed to make my dark world glow. Your love is so fascinating because you gathered and mended my broken heart together into one piece with your sweet love. My purpose was undefined, but I am gingered to keep living. You gave my life meaning. You loved me until I can stand to live another day. I love you, and I will always do, until the end of time.

29. You’ve lit a fire in me. It’s a passion that grows with each passing day. Just when I think I get used to my love for you, you’ll do something small and amazing. Maybe you’ll make me laugh, or say something so smart it makes me see the world in a new way, and suddenly there it is again—that rush of emotion, of love, that comes over me so swiftly it’s like a wildfire in my soul. I hope you know how much you mean to me, how much I love you, and how excited I am to walk through this life with you.

30. You’re my best friend. The person I can tell all my secrets to, the first person I want to talk to when I wake up, and last person I want to talk to before I drift off to sleep. When something good happens to me, you’re the first person I want to tell. When I’m troubled by something or if I get bad news, you’re the one I go to for comfort and support. But you’re so much more to me than a friend, you’re the love of my life. You’re my friend, my lover, my comfort and my strength. I am so lucky to have you. I just wanted you to know how happy I am to have you in my life.

33. Because of you, I have understood how powerful loving is. You truly made me realize the real meaning of romantic love. Thank you for being wonderful, understanding, and loving to me. You always inspire me to be better. You are my life, baby.

34. I thought that loving someone wholeheartedly and feeling the same amount of affection only happens in movies until I met you. Thank you for all the care and appreciation you have given me. I cannot help but wonder what I ever did to deserve you. I am the luckiest man in the world because I have you.

The route of my life changed since the day I met you. You bring out the best in me. Your love gives me wings.

I could have lived through a thousand life cycles but could have never found a woman as lovely as you. Thank you for enlightening my life forever. 

68. Everything that I used to do alone is a thousand times better when I do it with you.

You’ve made my life a fantasy movie in motion. I love life because of you. I love you.

69. It’s not possible to give love when you’ve got none for yourself. You came into my life at an hour that was dark and melancholic. How you managed to make me fall in love with myself is a miracle. You’re a blessing in disguise, and I just want you to know that you have made my life absolutely amazing.

70. I just want you to know that your aura is so radiant. You have a beaming smile, and your face glows like you’ve been sent from the heavens above. Everywhere you go, you bring a smile to people’s faces. You’re not only beautiful from the outside but from within as well. Your soft corner for the needy and poor is such a rarity. You are indeed a blessing in disguise. You are my favorite muse and my most cherished possession. I love having you in my life.

71. It’s about time someone told you how amazing you are. I used to be a different person before I met you. I didn’t like myself, and I failed to see the good in others. With you, I see everything bright and colorful, even if it is sparse. My life no longer suffers in a monochrome filter, for you have filled it with every color in this universe. You brought me warmth when I was cold, you brought me love when I least deserved it, and you set ablaze a desire within me that brings me nearer to you by the passing minute. I love you.

I Love You More Than Words Can Say

Hey, Baby Girl, I was just sitting here thinking about how much I love you. I love you so much that if I tried to really write how much I love you, I would be constantly writing for the rest of my life.

You bring out so much in me that I'm just beginning to see. It's like when we are together, the rest of the world disappears, and nothing else matters but us. I hope I feel this way forever. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you with everything I have to give. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve someone as loving as you are. Do you know how long I have waited to have someone like you in my life?

It wasn't luck that brought us together. You are a blessing to me and I wouldn't trade the way I feel about you for anything in this world. You are the reason why I smile. You are the first thing on my mind when I wake up every morning, and you are the last thing I think about every night before I close my eyes, but our time together doesn't end there because you are the only thing I dream about. I really do want to spend the rest of my life with you if you will allow me to. Nothing is too much to give you. I feel that if you're not happy, then the world needs to stop until you are!

Baby, I just want to thank you for loving me like you do, and I am forever in your debt, just for you being good to me. You know, it is strange how I had to go through so many bad situations before you came into my life. I guess it really is true when they say good things come to those who wait because I've waited for someone like you all my life, and you really are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I just want you to know that I love you so much, and I want to be with you till death do us part! I love you, Baby Girl!

I Will Keep Waiting For You

I sometimes wonder what you're doing, or whether you are thinking of me, like I'm thinking of you. I have been thinking of you for 20 years, since the day I was born, really.

You have been elusive to me in so many ways but, because none of my objects of infatuation turned out to be you, I feel as if life sometimes may have fooled me, yet I know you are out there. I mean, how could I have seen your face and still overlooked you? Or how could I have heard your voice utter words and not have found anyone that sounded like you? Are you in the stars every time I look up? Of course you are. You are the clouds in the skies, the songs the bird sing every morning. You are everywhere, really. I know you are real. I just constantly wonder why I have not found you yet.

Why haven't I been able to say all that I want, show you all that I am, and give you all I have now? Why is time making us wait so long? We don't know, because this is a factor beyond our control. I will always love you, Darling, and when we finally find each other, it will be God's greatest reward.

So, wherever you are, know that I love you and you will be the one that lurked passionately in my dreams. Know that I am always longing for you and your presence. Know that you will always be everything to me. Even though I have not yet met you yet, I love you, my spirit lover.

Too many days go by without my saying how incredibly fortunate I feel to be with you--but it's true. When we're together, my life takes on new meaning and new freshness. Each morning, each night, and each moment beside you contains all the beauty and vibrancy I could ever hope for.

Thank you for filling my days with love, and for making my toes squirm and my heart flutter. Thank you for always listening to me, for sharing your thoughts with me, for supporting me, and for giving me the chance to support you. Thank you for enriching every aspect of my life, and for continually inspiring me to do better and to be a better person.

I love you more than words can say.

When I try to describe your beauty, your smile, your kind heart, I find that my words only begin to scratch the surface of my love for you. You are too amazing, too much of a wonder for language to describe. When we are together, and with each gesture you make, and each word that you utter, I realize, more and more, how special and caring you are, and how lucky I am to be with you. When we are not together, the very thought of you brings me more fully to life.

Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for loving me and letting me love you. You are a blessing to me!

How can I express my feelings when those feelings take my breath away? How can I measure my love for you when that love compares to nothing else, and when that love exceeds all categories and all expectations? No words can express these realities. No words can express my love for you because you are indescribable, and my love for you is immeasurable.

Simply looking into your eyes sends me through a whirlwind of intense emotions. Just one brief smile from you fills my life with radiance and joy. Until the day I met you, I had never before felt so full of hope and passion. I want you to know, I am forever grateful to be with you. You have given me a heart full of love and days full of laughter, and I will give myself to you always.

1. The Tip of the Iceberg Technique

Cartoon of couple in love - How to Describe Love in Writing

Table of Contents

When expressing love in writing, you don’t have to spill all the beans at once.

In fact, it’s often more powerful to leave something to the reader’s imagination. This technique involves alluding to the depth of your character’s emotions without spelling everything out.

It creates an air of mystery and makes your readers want to delve deeper into your character’s feelings.

For instance, your character might not declare his love directly.

But his actions, the way he looks at the person he loves, or the things he sacrifices for her, all speak volumes about his feelings.

The best part is, your readers will feel like they’re discovering these emotions alongside your character.

Often, this makes the experience even more impactful.

Example: He didn’t say anything. But he held her hand, his thumb tracing her knuckles in a silent confession.

2. The Show-Don’t-Tell Rule

We’ve all heard it a thousand times – show, don’t tell.

When it comes to writing about love, this rule is especially crucial. Telling your readers that your characters are in love is like giving them a summary of a movie – it’s informative, but it doesn’t evoke any emotions.

Showing, on the other hand, involves your readers and makes them feel like they’re part of the story.

When you ‘show’ love, you’re painting a picture with your words.

You’re creating a scene that readers can visualize, pulling them into your character’s world.

This can involve showing your characters’ actions, their body language, the way they speak, and their reactions.

Example: Instead of saying, “John was in love with Sarah,” you could write, “John’s heart fluttered every time Sarah walked into the room. Her laugh was his favorite sound, and he found himself doing silly things just to hear it.”

3. The Heart-in-Mouth Technique

This tip is all about creating suspense in your love story.

When you keep your readers on the edge of their seats, they’re more likely to be engaged and invested in your characters’ love story.

The Heart-in-Mouth Technique involves building tension between your characters, creating conflicts and hurdles they have to overcome, and then finally giving them (and your readers) the relief of resolution.

This technique doesn’t just apply to romantic novels or stories.

It can be used in any genre where love plays a significant role.

Remember, the key is to build anticipation and suspense, so when the love is finally expressed or reciprocated, it feels like a big payoff for your readers.

Example: The room was filled with people, but all he could see was her. Their eyes met across the room, a silent conversation passing between them. But as he began to make his way towards her, a man stepped in, sweeping her onto the dance floor. His heart sank, but he couldn’t look away.

4. The Whisper-in-the-Ear Method

Instead of loud, grand gestures of love, this method focuses on the quiet, almost unnoticed expressions of love that often speak louder than words.

These could be little things your characters do for each other, their shared glances, or even their unspoken understanding.

The Whisper-in-the-Ear Method can make your love story feel more realistic and relatable.

In real life, love isn’t always about the big, dramatic moments.

It’s about the little things, the day-to-day acts of kindness and understanding that show someone you care about them.

Example: She woke up to the smell of fresh coffee. He was already up, like always. She found him in the kitchen, humming to himself as he made breakfast. “Morning,” he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. She didn’t need a “I love you” to know that he did.

5. The Behind-Closed-Doors Technique

Another effective technique for writing about love is to hint at what happens behind closed doors.

This doesn’t mean you have to get explicit or graphic (unless you want to, of course).

It simply means suggesting intimacy between your characters without revealing everything.

This allows your readers to fill in the blanks with their own imagination, which can make your love story even more engaging.

The Behind-Closed-Doors Technique adds a sense of realism to your love story, because in real life, not every moment of a relationship is visible to others.

It also adds depth to your characters and their relationship.

You want to show that their love goes beyond what’s visible on the surface.

Example: They disappeared into the room, his hand never leaving hers. The door closed behind them, leaving the rest of the world outside. When they emerged hours later, their eyes held a secret glow only they understood.

6. The Push-and-Pull Dynamic

Love isn’t always smooth sailing – it’s full of ups and downs, conflicts and resolutions.

The Push-and-Pull Method involves creating tension and release in your love story, which keeps your readers engaged and invested in your characters’ relationship.

It’s like a dance, where your characters move towards each other, then away, then back again, creating a dynamic, compelling love story.

Conflict is crucial to any story, and love stories are no exception.

Your characters might argue, have misunderstandings, face external challenges, or deal with their own internal struggles.

The key is to resolve these conflicts in a satisfying way that strengthens their relationship.

Example: They argued, yes. There were days when they couldn’t stand each other. But every disagreement was followed by a reconciliation that brought them closer than before. It was like watching two magnets, pushing and pulling until they finally clicked into place.

7. The Subtext-is-Everything Technique

This technique is all about what’s unsaid, rather than what’s said.

It’s the hidden meanings, the secret messages, and the unspoken emotions that make your love story more engaging and realistic.

The Subtext-is-Everything Technique involves showing your characters’ feelings through their actions, their body language, and their dialogues.

Subtext adds depth and complexity to your characters and their relationship.

By using subtext, you allow your readers to dig deeper into your characters’ emotions and understand them on a deeper level.

Example: She looked away, but not before he caught the flicker of longing in her eyes. “You should go,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. But her hand lingered on his arm, a silent plea for him to stay.

8. The Less-is-More Method

Often when writing about love, the temptation is to over-explain and over-describe.

However, the beauty of the Less-is-More Method is that it relies on simplicity and understatement.

This can make your expressions of love more powerful because it doesn’t feel forced or overdone.

This approach requires precise language, carefully chosen details, and meaningful gestures.

This method is a bit like cooking a gourmet meal – you don’t need a ton of ingredients, just a few high-quality ones used well.

It’s about focusing on the essential aspects of your characters’ love and presenting them in a clear, effective way.

Example: He looked at her, really looked at her, for the first time. And in that moment, he knew.

9. The Echo Effect

Repetition, when used correctly, can add depth and resonance to your love story.

The Echo Effect involves repeating certain phrases, gestures, or scenes to emphasize your characters’ feelings.

This technique can help your readers remember and connect with your characters’ love story on a deeper level.

Just like in music, where a recurring melody or lyric can evoke strong emotions, in writing, the Echo Effect can create a powerful emotional impact.

It creates a pattern that your readers recognize and anticipate, adding a layer of depth to your love story.

Example: He noticed it the first time they met – the way she tucked her hair behind her ear when she was nervous. He saw it again on their first date, and then again when he told her he loved her. It was a silent echo of their journey, a testament to their shared moments.

10. The Shared-Secret Technique

The Shared-Secret Technique is all about creating a bond between your characters that only they understand.

This could be an inside joke, a shared experience, or a secret they keep together.

This technique can make your characters’ relationship feel unique and special, adding depth and intimacy to your love story.

This technique works well because it not only strengthens the bond between your characters but also creates a connection between your characters and your readers.

Your readers feel like they’re part of the secret, which can make them more invested in your characters’ love story.

Example: Every year on their anniversary, they would go back to the same little coffee shop where they first met. It wasn’t fancy, but it was their place, their little secret corner of the world.

11. The Emotional-Rollercoaster Method

The Emotional-Rollercoaster Method is all about creating a wide range of emotions in your love story.

It’s not just about the happy moments, but also the sad, tense, and even frustrating ones.

This technique can make your love story more realistic and engaging, as it mirrors the ups and downs of real-life relationships.

By creating a mix of emotions, you can keep your readers on their toes and make them feel more involved in your characters’ love story.

Even negative emotions can create a strong impact and make the happy moments even more satisfying.

Example: Their love was a tumultuous symphony – full of passionate crescendos, heartbreaking solos, and soft, tender interludes. It wasn’t perfect, but it was real, and it was theirs.

12. The Love-Is-in-the-Details Approach

The Love-Is-in-the-Details Approach involves focusing on the small, seemingly insignificant details of your characters’ relationship.

This could be the way they look at each other, their little habits and quirks, or the small acts of kindness they do for each other.

This technique can make your love story feel more intimate and personal, showing your characters’ love in a subtle, nuanced way.

Remember, sometimes the smallest details can have the biggest impact.

By focusing on these details, you can show your characters’ love in a more nuanced and authentic way.

Example: He knew just how she liked her coffee – two sugars, a dash of milk, and exactly seven minutes to cool down. It was a small thing, but it was one of the many ways he showed her he cared.

13. The Soul-Gazing Technique

The Soul-Gazing Technique is all about creating a deep, emotional connection between your characters.

This involves showing your characters understanding each other on a deeper level, beyond surface-level attraction or compatibility.

This technique can make your love story more impactful, showing a love that goes beyond the physical.

Creating this kind of emotional depth can involve showing your characters’ vulnerability, their shared experiences, or their mutual understanding and empathy.

It’s about showing that they ‘get’ each other on a level that no one else does.

Example: They sat in silence, but it wasn’t awkward. It was comfortable, intimate. They didn’t need words to understand each other – a look, a touch, a shared smile was enough.

14. The Dance-of-Words Method

This method is all about using your words to create a sort of dance between your characters.

Like a well-choreographed dance, a well-written love scene involves rhythm, pacing, and a balance between tension and release.

It’s about creating a back-and-forth dialogue or interaction that mirrors a dance.

The Dance-of-Words Method can make your love story feel dynamic and engaging.

The key is to find the right rhythm for your characters and your story, to create a love scene that feels natural and fluid.

Example: They spoke in hushed whispers, their words intertwining like dancers in a ballet. A compliment here, a tease there, a shared laugh, a shared silence. It was their own private dance, a testament to their love.

15. The Love-Is-A-Journey Approach

Love, like a journey, is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and unexpected detours.

The Love-Is-A-Journey Approach involves treating your characters’ love story as a journey, with its own challenges, milestones, and transformations.

This approach can make your love story more engaging and relatable.

It mirrors the complexities and uncertainties of real-life love.

By treating love as a journey, you can show your characters growing and evolving together, strengthening their bond and deepening their love.

Example: Their love was not a destination, but a journey. A winding path with unexpected twists and turns, breathtaking views and steep climbs. But they walked it together, hand in hand, cherishing every step of the way.

16. The Love-Letters Technique

Sometimes, the most powerful expressions of love come in written form.

The Love-Letters Technique involves using letters, notes, or other written communication as a way to express your characters’ love.

This can add a touch of nostalgia and romance to your love story, as well as allow your characters to express their feelings in a more intimate, personal way.

This technique is versatile and can be adapted to fit your story.

Your characters could exchange love letters, leave each other sweet notes, or even write in a shared diary or journal.

Example: He found the note on the kitchen table, her neat handwriting bringing a smile to his face. “See you tonight, love. P.S. Don’t forget to water the plants!” It was a small thing, but it reminded him of the love they shared.

17. The Language-of-Love Method

This method is all about using language and dialogue to express your characters’ love.

This doesn’t necessarily mean using flowery or overly romantic language.

Instead, it’s about using language that feels authentic and natural to your characters, whether that’s sweet and tender, playful and teasing, or deep and philosophical.

The Language-of-Love Method can make your love story feel more authentic and relatable.

It shows your characters’ unique way of expressing their love.

Example: She didn’t say “I love you” in so many words. But when she said “Take care,” “Drive safe,” or “Did you eat?” he heard the unspoken words of love in every sentence.

18. The Love-Is-A-Battlefield Approach

Love can sometimes feel like a battlefield, full of conflicts, challenges, and triumphs.

The Love-Is-A-Battlefield Approach involves treating your characters’ love story as a battle, with its own victories, losses, and strategies.

This approach can add drama and tension to your love story, making it more engaging and exciting.

By treating love as a battlefield, you can show your characters fighting for their love, overcoming obstacles, and emerging victorious against all odds.

Example: Their love was not easy. It was a battle, a constant fight against distance, time, and their own fears. But they fought bravely, tirelessly, because they knew their love was worth every struggle.

19. The Magic-in-Mundane Technique

This technique is all about finding the magic in the mundane – showing your characters’ love in everyday, ordinary moments.

This could be a shared meal, a morning routine, or a quiet evening at home.

The Magic-in-Mundane Technique can make your love story feel more relatable and realistic, showing that love isn’t just about the big, dramatic moments.

But also the small, everyday ones.

Example: It was an ordinary Tuesday evening. They sat on the couch, her feet in his lap, a movie playing in the background. He looked at her, her eyes sparkling with laughter, and he thought, this, this is love.

20. The Through-The-Eyes-Of-Love Technique

This technique involves showing your characters and their world through the eyes of love.

This means showing how your character sees the person they love.

Also, how they notice things that others don’t and how they cherish their shared moments and memories.

The Through-The-Eyes-Of-Love Technique can create a more intimate and personal perspective of your love story.

Example: To the world, she was just a girl. But to him, she was the world. He saw the beauty in her flaws, the strength in her vulnerability, the grace in her every move. Through his eyes, she was not just a girl, but a masterpiece of love.

21. The Love-in-Action Method

The Love-in-Action Method involves showing your characters’ love through their actions.

This means showing how your characters express their love, not just through words, but through their actions, decisions, and sacrifices.

The method can make your love story more powerful and impactful.

It shows that love is not just a feeling, but a choice, a commitment, a daily act of kindness and care.

Example: He didn’t say “I love you” often. But when he picked her up from work when it was raining, when he cooked her favorite meal after a long day, when he held her close during the thunderstorms, his actions spoke louder than any words.

How to Describe Love at First Sight

Describing love at first sight can be tricky, as it involves capturing a moment of instant attraction and connection.

To effectively portray this, focus on the details that made your characters fall for each other.

Describe the physical attributes, mannerisms, or other characteristics that caught their attention.

Try to depict the rush of emotions that accompany such a moment, from surprise and intrigue to excitement and longing.

Example: From across the crowded room, their eyes met. He was drawn in by her radiant smile, the way her eyes sparkled with joy, the effortless grace with which she moved. It was like a lightning strike, a sudden realization that shook him to his core. He didn’t know her, not yet, but he knew he wanted to.

How to Describe Unrequited Love

Unrequited love is a theme full of raw and intense emotions – longing, heartbreak, and sometimes even hope.

When describing unrequited love, delve into your character’s feelings and desires, exploring the depth of their affection for the person they can’t have.

Showcase the bittersweet nature of their love, the struggle between holding on and letting go.

Example: He loved her, but not in the way she loved him. Her love was like a blazing fire, burning brightly and fiercely. His love was more like a gentle breeze, comforting yet elusive. She yearned for him, dreamt of him, even as she knew that her feelings were unreciprocated.

What is love essay: 250 words

Lao Tzu once said, “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Indeed, love can transform individuals, relationships, and our world.

A word of immense depth and countless interpretations, love has always fascinated philosophers, poets, and ordinary individuals. This  emotion breaks boundaries and has a super power to change lives. But what is love, actually?

It’s a force we feel in countless ways. It is the warm embrace of a parent, filled with care and unwavering support. It is the gentle touch of a lover, sparking a flame that ignites passion and desire. Love is the kind words of a friend, offering solace and understanding in times of need. It is the selfless acts of compassion and empathy that bind humanity together.

Love is not confined to romantic relationships alone. It is found in the family bonds, the connections we forge with friends, and even the compassion we extend to strangers. Love is a thread that weaves through the fabric of our lives, enriching and nourishing our souls.

However, love is not without its complexities. It can be both euphoric and agonizing, uplifting and devastating. Love requires vulnerability, trust, and the willingness to embrace joy and pain. It is a delicate balance between passion and compassion, independence and interdependence.

Finally, the essence of love may be elusive to define with mere words. It is an experience that surpasses language and logic, encompassing a spectrum of emotions and actions. Love is a profound connection that unites us all, reminding us of our shared humanity and the capacity for boundless compassion.

essay saying i love you

A 500-word essay on why I love you

Trying to encapsulate why I love you in a mere 500 words is impossible. My love for you goes beyond the confines of language, transcending words and dwelling in the realm of emotions, connections, and shared experiences. Nevertheless, I shall endeavor to express the depth and breadth of my affection for you.

First and foremost, I love you for who you are. You possess a unique blend of qualities and characteristics that captivate my heart and mind. Your kindness and compassion touch the lives of those around you, and I am grateful to be the recipient of your unwavering care and understanding. Your intelligence and wit constantly challenge me to grow and learn, stimulating my mind and enriching our conversations. You have a beautiful spirit that radiates warmth and joy, and I am drawn to your vibrant energy.

I love the way you make me feel. When I am with you, I feel a sense of comfort and security that allows me to be my true self. Your presence envelops me in a cocoon of love and acceptance, where I can express my thoughts, fears, and dreams without fear of judgment. Your support and encouragement inspire me to pursue my passions and overcome obstacles. With you by my side, I feel empowered to face the world, knowing I have a partner who believes in me.

I love the memories we have created together. From the laughter-filled moments of shared adventures to the quiet and intimate conversations, every memory is etched in my heart. Whether exploring new places, indulging in our favorite activities, or simply enjoying each other’s company in comfortable silence, each experience reinforces our bond. Our shared memories serve as a foundation for our relationship, a testament to the depth of our connection and the love that binds us.

I love your quirks and imperfections. Your true essence shines through these unique aspects! Your little traits make me smile and remind me of the beautiful individual you are. I love how you wrinkle your nose when you laugh, become lost in thought when reading a book, and even sing off-key in the shower. These imperfections make you human, relatable, and utterly lovable.

I love the future we envision together. We support each other’s goals, cheering one another on as we navigate the path toward our dreams. The thought of building a life together, creating a home filled with love and shared experiences, fills my heart with anticipation and excitement. The future we imagine is one that I am eager to explore with you by my side.

In conclusion, the reasons why I love you are as vast and varied as the universe itself. It is a love that defies logic and surpasses the limitations of language. From the depths of my being, I love you for the person you are, the way you make me feel, the memories we cherish, your quirks and imperfections, and the future we envision together. My love for you is boundless, unconditional, and everlasting.

Essays About Love

Defining love may not be as easy as you think. While it seems simple, love is an abstract concept with multiple potential meanings. Exploring these meanings and then creating your own definition of love can make an engaging essay topic.

To do this, first, consider the various conventional definitions of love. Then, compare and contrast them until you come up with your own definition of love.

One essay about love you could tackle is describing and analyzing a favorite love story. This story could be from a fiction tale or real life. It could even be your love story.

As you analyze and explain the love story, talk about the highs and lows of love. Showcase the hard and great parts of this love story, then end the essay by talking about what real love looks like (outside the flowers and chocolates).

Essays About Love: What true love looks like?

This essay will explore what true love looks like. With this essay idea, you could contrast true love with the romantic love often shown in movies. This contrast would help the reader see how true love looks in real life.

An essay about what true love looks like could allow you to explore this kind of love in many different facets. It would allow you to discuss whether or not someone is, in fact, in true love. You could demonstrate why saying “I love you” is not enough through the essay.

There seems to be something ingrained in human nature to seek love. This fact could make an interesting essay on love and its meaning, allowing you to explore why this might be and how it plays out in human relationships.

Because humans seem to gravitate toward committed relationships, you could argue that we are hard-wired for love. But, again, this is an essay option that has room for growth as you develop your thoughts.

There are many different types of love. For example, while you can have romantic love between a couple, you may also have family love among family members and love between friends. Each of these types of love has a different expression, which could lend itself well to an interesting essay topic.

Writing an essay that compares and contrasts the different types of love would allow you to delve more deeply into the concept of love and what makes up a loving relationship.

What does love mean? This question is not as easy to answer as you might think. However, this essay topic could give you quite a bit of room to develop your ideas about love.

While exploring this essay topic, you may discover that love means different things to different people. For some, love is about how someone makes another person feel. To others, it is about actions performed. By exploring this in an essay, you can attempt to define love for your readers.

What can love make people do? This question could lend itself well to an essay topic. The power of love is quite intense, and it can make people do things they never thought they could or would do.

With this love essay, you could look at historical examples of love, fiction stories about love relationships, or your own life story and what love had the power to do. Then, at the end of your essay, you can determine how powerful love is.

The idea of a soul mate is someone who you are destined to be with and love above all others. This essay topic would allow you to explore whether or not each individual has a soul mate.

If you determine that they do, you could further discuss how you would identify that soul mate. How can you tell when you have found “the one” right for you? Expanding on this idea could create a very interesting and unique essay.

Essays About Love: Determine if all relationships should experience a break-up

Break-ups seem inevitable, and strong relationships often come back together afterward. Yet are break-ups truly inevitable? Or are they necessary to create a strong bond? This idea could turn into a fascinating essay topic if you look at both sides of the argument.

On the one hand, you could argue that the break-up experience shows you whether or not your relationship can weather difficult times. On the other hand, you could argue that breaking up damages the trust you’re working to build. Regardless of your conclusion, you can build a solid essay off of this topic idea.

Love, at first sight is a common theme in romance stories, but is it possible? Explore this idea in your essay. You will likely find that love, at first sight, is nothing more than infatuation, not genuine love.

Yet you may discover that sometimes, love, at first sight, does happen. So, determine in your essay how you can differentiate between love and infatuation if it happens to you. Then, conclude with your take on love at first sight and if you think it is possible.

The love between a parent and child is much different than the love between a pair of lovers. This type of love is one-sided, with care and self-sacrifice on the parent’s side. However, the child’s love is often unconditional.

Exploring this dynamic, especially when contrasting parental love with romantic love, provides a compelling essay topic. You would have the opportunity to define this type of love and explore what it looks like in day-to-day life.

Most people want to fall in love and enjoy a loving relationship, but does love have a downside? In an essay, you can explore the disadvantages of love and show how even one of life’s greatest gifts is not without its challenges.

This essay would require you to dig deep and find the potential downsides of love. However, if you give it a little thought, you should be able to discuss several. Finally, end the essay by telling the reader whether or not love is worth it despite the many challenges.

Love is blind is a popular phrase that indicates love allows someone not to see another person’s faults. But is love blind, or is it simply a metaphor that indicates the ability to overlook issues when love is at the helm.

If you think more deeply about this quote, you will probably determine that love is not blind. Rather, love for someone can overshadow their character flaws and shortcomings. When love is strong, these things fall by the wayside. Discuss this in your essay, and draw your own conclusion to decide if love is blind.

When someone falls in love, their body feels specific hormonal and chemical changes. These changes make it easier to want to spend time with the person. Yet they can be fascinating to study, and you could ask whether or not love is just chemical reactions or something more.

Grab a science book or two and see if you can explore these physiological changes from love. From the additional sweating to the flushing of the face, you will find quite a few chemical changes that happen when someone is in love.

Love feels like a positive emotion that does not have many ethical concerns, but this is not true. Several ethical questions come from the world of love. Exploring these would make for an interesting and thoughtful essay.

For example, you could discuss if it is ethically acceptable to love an object or even oneself or love other people. You could discuss if it is appropriate to enter into a physical relationship if there is no love present or if love needs to come first. There are many questions to explore with this love essay.

If you choose to love someone, is heartbreak inevitable? This question could create a lengthy essay. However, some would argue that it is because either your object of affection will eventually leave you through a break-up or death.

Yet do these actions have to cause heartbreak, or are they simply part of the process? Again, this question lends itself well to an essay because it has many aspects and opinions to explore.

Literature is full of stories of love. You could choose a genre, like mythology or science fiction, and explore the role of love in that particular genre. With this essay topic, you may find many instances where love is a vital central theme of the work.

Keep in mind that in some genres, like myths, love becomes a driving force in the plot, while in others, like historical fiction, it may simply be a background part of the story. Therefore, the type of literature you choose for this essay would significantly impact the way your essay develops.

Most people want to fall in love, but is love freeing or oppressing? The answer may depend on who your loved ones are. Love should free individuals to authentically be who they are, not tie them into something they are not.

Yet there is a side of love that can be viewed as oppressive, deepening on your viewpoint. For example, you should stay committed to just that individual when you are in a committed relationship with someone else. Is this freeing or oppressive? Gather opinions through research and compare the answers for a compelling essay.

You can easily find stories of people that did foolish things for love. These stories could translate into interesting and engaging essays. You could conclude the answer to whether or not love makes people do foolish things.

Your answer will depend on your research, but chances are you will find that, yes, love makes people foolish at times. Then you could use your essay to discuss whether or not it is still reasonable to think that falling in love is a good thing, although it makes people act foolishly at times.

Most fiction works have love in them in some way. This may not be romantic love, but you will likely find characters who love something or someone.

Use that fact to create an essay. Pick your favorite story, either through film or written works, and explore what love looks like in that work. Discuss the character development, storyline, and themes and show how love is used to create compelling storylines.

a young couple surrounded with candels looking at sunset

You know that familiar feeling of being head over heels in love with someone but struggling to find the right words to express it? It’s that awkward and sometimes frustrating moment when your heart is bursting with affection, yet you’re at a loss for how to convey it. And to add to the complexity, Valentine’s Day rolls around, a time when love is celebrated, and the pressure to declare your feelings is heightened. You yearn for a way to make this moment truly special, to go beyond the clichéd phrase of “I love you” and inject it with genuine depth and significance. Perhaps you subscribe to the belief that actions speak louder than words, and you want to show your special someone just how important they are to you, not just on Valentine’s Day, but every single day.

So, here’s a collection of some wonderfully unique and heartfelt ways to demonstrate your love and appreciation for that special person in your life. These ideas are meant to transcend the boundaries of Valentine’s Day and serve as a reminder of your affection and devotion throughout the year. Because love should be celebrated and cherished beyond a single day; it should be nurtured and expressed in countless meaningful ways.

1. Love Soundwave

Some companies can take your loved one’s name (or even a romantic inside “code word”) and turn it into a beautiful emblem of your devotion.

2. iPhone Style Love Message

In our technological age it’s likely that your loved one spends more time on their phone than flipping through photo albums. So, why not give him or her a constant reminder of you, every time they go to check their Facebook?

What do you think about turning love messages into art pieces? Sure, it may seem a little cheesy but it wasn’t that long ago when the poems were written and portraits were painted in the name of love. Take a cue from the past and revive the tradition. You can use more modern art forms if you prefer. There are ready made “Love Is Art” kits with white canvas, red and black paint, and body scrubbers. Old fashioned pencils and papers will also work as long as you use them to properly express your feelings.

6. Love Puzzle

All you need is to buy helium-filled balloons and pack them into your partner’s apartment. Afterwards, turn your love messages into unique QR codes and tape them to each dangling string. It’s a fun way to share the personal memos you’ve been longing to tell them.

8. Binary Language of Love

Why settle for telling him or her how you feel in English? Take a step into the future by sharing your feelings in binary code. Although you can buy a necklace or ring with “I Love You” written in the language of computers, you can also save some money and create something all your own. QBit can help you translate your message so that you can turn it into art, or food to impress your loved one.

9. For Those Who Are Daring Enough

Show that your love is eternal and you are not afraid to capture it forever– on your skin. Design a tattoo for you and your loved one and suggest that you go to the tattoo salon together. If your loved one is not really into tattoos, you can do it on your own. Just make sure you spell his or her name right, or better still– choose some original symbol of your relationships.

10. Level Up Your Love

It just wouldn’t be a declaration of love without a bouquet. But, this year, spice it up by creating a Bacon Bouquet. All you need is a handful of plastic flower stems, a vase (or beer stein), and a package of bacon. Wrap each piece like a flower bud and fry for 8-10 minutes. This is a creative alternative to regular roses, and far more delicious!

12. Go Old Fashioned

love songs for him

There used to be a good old tradition to make mixed tapes for your dates. Truth be told, it was super romantic. If you are into vintage and you’ll find the way to make a mixed tape or a vinyl with good music – be sure to do it. It will be appreciated for sure. However, there is an easier and more modern way to do it – CDs, mp3 players or any other ways to create a playlist you can think of.

13. Just Say It

romantic movie scenes

Nothing is more romantic and sincere and nothing is able to express your feelings better than saying the words “I love you”. Make sure the moment is special. It’ll probably be a bad idea to say it in an overcrowded public train or bus, though it’s your decision when the moment is write.

Remember – your intonation and eye contact are important. If you get nervous about the idea – try practising it in front of the mirror. But no matter how you say it and where you say it – if you are with the right person you’ll never regret saying it out loud.

  • To my soulmate, I love you. I love you. I love you. I can’t say those three words enough; unfortunately, you haven’t heard them lately. I’m sorry about that. I’ve been so overwhelmed with work that I haven’t had the time to give you much attention, but that will change soon. Do you know why? Because I love you. I love you. I love you. Sweet dreams!

Why Can’t Men Say ‘I Love You’ to Each Other?

It doesn’t count if you add “bro” or “man” to the end.

essay saying i love you

By Ricardo F. Jaramillo

I’m having L-word troubles, but my troubles don’t involve a lover. There’s no romance or sex in this. No flowers, candles or dancing. My L-word troubles are with my boy, my best friend, Kichi. I’ve told him I love him probably five or six times now, but he never says it back.

When people say, “I love you,” especially for the first time, there are a number of things they may be saying. Maybe it’s, “Do you love me?” (the question smuggled inside the confession), or, more urgently, “Please love me.”

With Kichi, it’s not like that. I know he loves me. I feel it all the time. I don’t need to ask for his love. I don’t need to wonder. I tell him I love him for a simple reason: Nothing could be more true.

But he doesn’t say it back. Mostly I’ve said it when we’re leaving each other, a couple of times over the phone, once when I was drunk, another time when he was hurt and I was trying to be supportive. There’s always silence for a moment, and then he says something like, “Yeah, bro, I’ll catch you soon.”

I don’t need him to say those exact words to me. I wonder, though, about what keeps him from saying them. What keeps nearly all young men from being able to tell their male friends that they love them?

When I was 8, I made my first best friend. Pedro was twig-thin, messy-haired and jittery, brimming with the kind of untamed tenderness found only in children. When I moved to Philadelphia, he took me — a nervous new boy at school — in his arms and under his wings.

You don’t have to be in love with someone to love them. We love our friends and family, too, but you wouldn’t want to use a romantic phrase to avoid an awkward family reunion!

Instead, use these phrases to tell your loved ones that you love them… in a friendly, platonic (non-romantic) way.

  • I value our friendship so much.
  • You’re an amazing friend.
  • I appreciate you more than words can express.
  • You make my life brighter.
  • I’m grateful to have you in my life.
  • You’re like family to me.
  • I cherish our friendship.
  • You’re always there for me, and I’m so thankful.
  • I love how we can be ourselves around each other.
  • You bring so much joy and laughter to my life.
  • You’re an incredible person and friend.
  • I’m lucky to have you as my friend.
  • You make every day better.
  • I admire and respect you so much.
  • You’ve been there for me through thick and thin.
  • I love the memories we’ve created together.
  • You understand me like no one else.
  • I’m grateful for your support and encouragement.
  • You’re like a ray of sunshine in my life.
  • I appreciate the little things you do that show you care.
  • You’re a true friend, and I value our bond.
  • I love how we can share both laughter and tears.
  • You make the world a better place just by being in it.
  • I’m thankful for the laughter and fun we share.
  • You’re an incredible source of strength for me.

Let’s face it. Sometimes love and relationships don’t last. When that happens to you, here are some easy ways to end it:

  • I think we need to talk about our relationship.
  • I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I believe it’s best for both of us to part ways.
  • Our paths seem to be going in different directions, and it’s time for us to go our separate ways.
  • I’ve come to the difficult decision that we should break up.
  • I need some space to focus on myself and my personal growth.
  • I feel like our relationship is not fulfilling for either of us anymore.
  • It’s not easy for me to say this, but I think it’s time for us to end our relationship.
  • I don’t see a future for us together, and it’s only fair to be honest about it.
  • I’ve realized that we have different priorities and values that make it challenging for us to continue as a couple.
  • We’ve been through a lot together, but I think it’s time for a fresh start for both of us.
  • I believe ending our relationship is the right decision for both of us to find happiness.
  • I value the time we’ve spent together, but I think we need to move on separately.
  • I’ve been struggling with this decision, but I don’t see a way for our relationship to continue.
  • It’s important for us to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that we’re not thriving in this relationship.
  • I care about you deeply, but I believe it’s time for us to end our romantic connection.

As you saw in the last section, English is a language rich with sayings, quotes, books, songs and movies about love and romance . If you want to understand the many romantic references you come across , you’ll need to expand your vocabulary.

Touch Their Heart With the Perfect Way to Say "I Love You"

Love is a nuanced emotion, and sometimes you need specific words to capture the depth and type of your feelings. Different ways to say "I love you" can help you express yourself perfectly, and you'll be sure to touch their heart.

How to Say “I Love You” Like You Really, Really Mean It

A couples therapist, a romance novelist, and a songwriter share their trade secrets.

Those three little words can be huge, like when you say them to someone for the first time , conveying the sense of wonder, joy, and awe you feel as you fall head over heels. They’re also a shorthand (but no less heartfelt) way to tell people how much you care. And an abbreviated version serves as a casual sign-off to a chat with a partner, relative, or friend —lately, I’ve even heard work colleagues say it to each other: “Bye, love you!”

It seems we’re all loving each other more than ever—or at least saying we do. (And then there’s the related ”I appreciate you,” which has bubbled up as another all-purpose conversation closer—the Verizon customer service agent said it to me just the other day.)

Does throwing these important words around make them less important? Should we save them for when they really matter? I put this question to renowned linguist Deborah Tannen, author of You Just Don’t Understand and 12 other books, and professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. “That’s how language works,” she said. “Any phrase that gets wide currency, it’s going to be used in different ways, and people will suspect it’s being overused.”

But she’s not worried about love being devalued, even if your pal in the next cubicle professes hers for you as she heads out the door. “I actually like it,” says Tannen, adding that we need handy phrases to open and close conversations. “The fact that something with such a positive meaning is adapted that way, I think that’s a good thing.”

To give your words more weight, you might modify them: “I really love you,” or “I love you so much.” But if you want to express your feelings in a way that feels less routine and a lot more personal and meaningful, here are tips from three pros.

The couples therapist

“Creating a culture of appreciation in a relationship is crucial,” says Satira Streeter Corbitt, a licensed clinical psychologist, certified Gottman Therapist, and founder of Ascensions Psychological Services in Washington, D.C. “And you can’t do that by just saying, ‘I love you.’ You need to let the person know exactly what they are doing that makes you feel connected to them.”

She even has a formula for it. A formula may not sound romantic, but this is an incredibly effective way to communicate and bring you closer. Pretty romantic, right? Here’s how it works:

Start by thinking of an adjective that describes a quality you admire in your partner or another person you’re close to. Then consider how it makes you feel. Finish up with an example of that behavior. Corbitt brings it to life this way: If you’re talking to your husband, you might say, “You are so thoughtful, and your kind gestures make me feel really supported by you. Like yesterday when you made my lunch to take to work because you knew I would be too busy in the morning to do it myself; I really appreciated that.”

Or for a friend: “You are so kind and insightful. It makes me feel I can come to you and trust you with anything. Like last weekend, when I wasn’t sure how to handle that situation at work, you gave me such solid advice that really helped.”

Adjective + feeling + example.

This formula does both of you good, creating a positive cycle. “There are so many times that the people we love do things and our heart grows for them,” says Corbitt. “But we don’t really take time to figure out why.” Take that time. Figure it out and share it. The more you tell people about the specific characteristics and actions you appreciate, the more they’ll exhibit them, and the more you’re going to love them.

The romance novelist

Claire Kann, author of The Romantic Agenda and Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places (out next May), is specific when it comes to language, in her books and in her life. “If you're going to tell someone, ‘I appreciate you,’ say why you appreciate them,” she says. “‘I appreciate you for bringing me lunch. That made my whole day.’ Acknowledge what they've done for you. That way, the person knows that this isn’t just the casual thing you say all the time.”

Knowing your audience, as it were, is also important. What makes one person feel warm inside might not do it for another. “We’re all different, and we need different things,” says Kann. “Just paying attention to the person is the first step to creating or to crafting the kinds of compliments and affection that they would like to receive.”

Kann creates this dynamic when developing characters. In her forthcoming novel, the protagonist, Lucky, feels like no one sees her. So when her love interest says these three little words—not the usual ones, but “I see you”—it’s powerful. IRL, that might translate to reassuring someone who is anxious, praising the work of someone insecure about their abilities, or telling someone who struggles with maintaining relationships what a wonderful friend they are.

The songwriter

“Love is a human experience,” says Rodney Alejandro, a musician, songwriter, and the chair of the songwriting department at Boston’s Berklee College of Music. (He has also performed with will.i.am, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Paulina Rubio, and CeeLo Green.) “That emotion, most people are going to have some relationship with it. So to stand out, find aspects of love that can be expressed in a way that’s unique.”

One simple way to get at that? Point out the subtle things you notice when you love someone, the “idiosyncrasies or habits that seem unimportant, but when they’re not there, you miss them like crazy,” he says. The way you wear your hat, the way you sip your tea.…

Another technique to steal: Songwriters often try to find a distinctive, meaningful aspect of a relationship and build an entire song around it. One example Alejandro cites is Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time”: “It expresses loving somebody by saying, ‘I’m going to be here no matter what happens,’” he says. Don’t remember the lyrics? “If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me/Time after time/If you fall, I will catch you/Time after time…”

Another example: A song by indie artist Bruno Major called “Nothing.” “It’s brilliant because it just talks about the mundane routine of life, of living with somebody,” Alejandro says. “Track suits and red wine/Movies for two/We'll take off our phones/And we'll turn off our shoes…there's nothing/Like doing nothing/With you.”

Are you feeling it? How can you not be?

You don’t have to be a musician to work this magic. You just have to think about what makes your relationship special and communicate it the best way you can—with just one rule: Say “I love you” without actually saying it.

5 Words That Are Infinitely More Romantic Than Saying 'I Love You,' According To Psychology

Do you say these words often enough.

  • Bob Alaburda

Last updated on Sep 14, 2024

Man knows to say specific words that are more romantic than 'I love you.'

While they're the most sought-after three words in English, the phrase "I love you" is a bit vague — and justifiably so. Human emotions are so fleeting and nebulous that even Shakespeare had to invent a bunch of words in an attempt to describe them. Isn't it amazing how humanity has been spending thousands of years trying to define love?

"I love you" is a symbolic affirmation that implies loyalty and an overwhelming abundance of positive emotion. But it can mean so many things to so many people that it's essentially impossible to communicate the true significance of the word to the other person. 

It's not just a feeling, it's a choice every day . Most married couples would agree with this with a YouGov poll showing that more than seven in 10 married people say that love is a choice. If you tell a person you love them, how do you prove it ? Will your idea of proof be the same as theirs? Probably not. 

RELATED: The 2 Words That Are Way More Important Than 'I Love You'

But there are words more romantic than "I love you," and the phrase "I am there for you" suffers no such weakness.

Words That Are Infinitely More Romantic Than Saying 'I Love You'

All we want is someone to be there even in our darkest hours, to be patient and kind when we need it the most. It's unambiguous. It offers you the opportunity to stand behind your words. It lets your actions speak for you. This is a great way to show you love someone, research from Penn State says .

It lets the other person know that you see them and that you would choose them no matter what their past is. And those actions mean more than any "I love you" ever could. Those actions could say "I love you" more than the words themselves.

Words That Are Infinitely More Romantic Than Saying 'I Love You'

RELATED: 15 Rare Signs You've Found Lasting Love That's Real And True

Saying words more romantic than "I love you" — "I am there for you" — means you're willing to do the work that a relationship requires. It says you can be leaned upon when your partner cannot stand on their own. It's a phrase of giving, rather than receiving. "I love you" is another way of saying, "You make me happy."

"I am there for you" is another way of saying, "I'm prepared to do what it takes to make you happy." It's the difference between enjoying reading and committing to writing a book —  they both value you in their own way, but the latter will wind up saying so much more. 

But regardless of intent, the words "I am there for you" are hollow and worthless if you don't back them up. You can sing your love from the mountaintops, but you'll still be drowned out by the volume of your actions if they don't reflect that love. Love is all about commitment and choice .
