Saying I love you...

[Elementor]

Rather than say I love you, or I love you so much too often, I want to say something really special. Does anyone know something that you really love to hear or you know your partner does that makes you feel so warm inside and gives you butterflys in your heart?

Mr apricot told me I was the sunshine in his life. sniff sniff.

Tell them WHY you love them.

[thewillow]

In Coronation Street, Jack Duckworth calls Vera his 'little swamp duck'.

[Greedyfly]

Surely this is something that you should think of so its personal?

[Elementor]

Saying I love you in the first place is not something anyone thought of for themselves, yet that is still personal. I have told her many a time why I love her, I have told her that she is everything to me and that my heart calls out to her every moment of every day and is flying around inside me trying to find a way out so it can be with her always. I've told her that there is never a moment that goes by in which I don't think about her. I have told her that I never thought it possible to love someone as much as I love her. I have told her that God put all of the love possible inside of me in order that I may share it with my soul mate, and that is her, and many more. I just want to carry on melting her heart with each new thing I say. But never mind. I will think of something.

elementor, you already have a gift for thinking up ways of expressing your love in words. Just keep it up, I'm sure there's plenty more where they came from. Read romantic poetry, that might help. Describe beautiful things you have seen or places you have been and try to share the experience with her in words. In the end, though, sometimes you just run out of ways to tell her how much you love her. I know! Sometimes, there just aren't any words to express your love fully.

Love is an illusion dreated by Hallmark to sell more cards.....it's only the fear of being alone that drives people to spend lives together.....very few people are truly happy together......the only thing I really love to hear is the ting of the microwave to let me know dinners ready.....love is dead if it ever existed in the first place.

[Elementor]

If love was an illusion created by Hallmark why was love written about in the times of Shakespeare and much earlier. If you feel like that I feel sorry for you, and I am truly happy now, and I will be forever more. Love is the greatest thing on Earth and the greatest feeling, and I am so very happy that I have someone to share it with.

[poadster]

Shut up, forget what "you" want to say, take her hand and go for a quiet walk together in the sunshine.

[woofgang]

I am with poadster, deeds, not words, and they don't have to be the expensive kind. If my one and only gets in from work before I do, he put the cordless phone next to his chair so if I need him, he won't miss the call, silly, but it makes me melt...

[equalsmc2]

sft - this explains some of your more miserable rants and aggression! Mrs equlsmc2 and I have been together for 29 years and love each other more every day. And we know lots of other very happy couples.

Sometimes words aren't needed. Just being there for her when she needs you, caring about her, looking out for her, wanting her every happiness, will make her heart melt. And don't worry when you can't think of anything to say - call it a comfortable silence, rather than an awkward silence - and just enjoy the fact that you're together. If you want to give her a gift, give her something that shows you've taken notice of the things she likes, such as which perfume she wears or perhaps something that will remind her of a special day you shared. Or spend time making something for her. Sometimes, though, there aren't enough words or ways to express how much you love someone, but sometimes you don't need to say or do anything.

[Greedyfly]

I have never liked the word 'Love' its just so fake and typical - I know what Elementor is getting at but I just feel that if you want it to come from the heart then it should come from yours - one day you will just say something trivial and it will woe her all over again!

[Lillibet]

Cook a meal, with candles, flowers and a romantic CD on in the background, concentrate on each during the uninterupted evening and cuddle on the sofa - that normally works - actions sometimes mean more than words !

[Elementor]

But of course actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately words are all I have right now.

[ouch!]

Darling, if you sleep with me tonight I will increase your allowance

[ABC123]

As i am sure other people have said, when i tell my girlfriend that i love her i make sure that she knows i mean it with all my heart, it always flatters her when you write a small entry of what you think of her with things like "you are the most beautiful women/girl i have ever been blessed to set my eyes apon" and things like that
