10 Other Ways To Say "I Love You" In Words

"I Love You"

All I want to do is hold you close and have you near. You mean the world to me. Now that I know you, I need you. A life without you wouldn't be half as fulfilling.

Paint the picture of your undying love with creative words. Explore the power of language to express the depths of your devotion.

1. Write A Love Letter

Nothing says "I love you," more than a handwritten personal letter. Take a moment to write a letter telling them why you love them, recall a favorite memory, or express your devotion by hand.

2. Give Creative Compliments

Think about a particular trait that you like about your loved one that isn't normal to compliment. For example my boyfriend is always telling me that he loves my squeaky voice, making me feel special and unique without making me feel insecure for being different. Just by being alternative from the typical romantic compliments like, lovely eyes, beautiful hair etc, it shows you care about the details that make that person who they are.

3. Say "I Love You" In Another Language

Show off your worldly knowledge by whispering sweet nothings into your lover's ear in another language. Every language has a unique way to verbally express the intimate affection of love, don't worry about sounding funny when trying to pronounce foreign words, your effort will be appreciated.

4. Give Your Partner A Cute And Creative Nick Name

Nothing shows how close you two are than funny little pet name. The playful nature of these names can also help to smooth over any frustrations. For instance you might refer to your partner as an angry burrito when they are upset, or call them a mineral when they are slow in the morning. It is cute to show that you like to have fun with your special person. Be sure to avoid name calling, overly sexual pet names or other names that might offend your loved one. Don't be afraid to be funny weirdos with each other, it's one of the benefits of being in love.

5. Speak Proudly About Your Partner With People

If the people in your life see how much you respect your lover, they will be keen to pass the knowledge onto your lover themselves. I often hear from my partner's friends how much he talks about me and how deeply he is in love with me. It makes a girl feel real special, every time I hear, "I have heard so much about you!"

6. Share Your Fears, Secrets And Desires With Them

By sharing with your partner your hidden side, they will feel like you trust them, and in turn open up to you. Sharing is caring, and it encourages intimacy. Grow closer by opening it. Let your loved one in. Without sharing your private self, you cannot truly express your confidence in them.

7. Say "Thank You"

Love and gratitude go hand in hand. Whenever your special someone does something nice for you, be sure to let them know that you noticed and appreciate their efforts. Tell them whenever you can that you are grateful to have them in your life.

8. Tell Them You Are Proud Of Them

Let your loved one know that you appreciate the journey they made to get to where they are. Every achievement, no matter how small, provides you with the opportunity to express your admiration from them.

9. Tell Them They Are Beautiful Inside And Out

Let your beloved know that you worship them. Tell them what you like about their personality and tell them what you’re like about their body. If you love their sense of humor, appreciate that they are funny. If you love their skin, tell them you enjoy their touch.

10. Say You're Sorry When You Are Wrong

Being humble enough to admit to your partner that you are wrong takes guts and shows that they are more important to you than your ego. It is equally important to acknowledge your lover's ability to do so too. No one is perfect and admitting our wrongs, forgiving and growing is a true testament of love.
