Tell Someone You Love Them

If you’re afraid to tell someone you love them, or you want them to know that you are sincere, then follow these tips.

1. Before making a commitment to that person by telling them that you love them, make sure that that is the way you really feel.  Lust and love are two completely different things.
2. Only say you love someone during a special moment:  Saying “I love you” any time is nice, but makes it seem a little trivial.  When a special moment occurs, e.g. after a kiss, or important change in your partners life, be sure to tell them you love them. 
3. When saying you love someone, don’t just say the three words.  Express how you really feel about the person, before you jump in and say “I love you.”  Also, when telling them that you love them, make eye contact or squeeze their hand to show that you are sincere.
4. Tell this person that you love them, whether they are at their best or at their worst.  To show, and to know, that you truly love someone, is to love them even in the worst of situations.
5. After you tell someone you love them, don’t force them to respond:  The person may not feel the same, or does not know how they feel yet.  Sometimes, the best thing to do is let them think about it themselves.  Telling someone you love them can also relieve their shyness and reveal that they love you too.
6. Make a poem or gift for your partner to tell them you love them.  By making your own gift, you help show how sincere you are when you tell your partner that you love them.  This is a good thing to do whether you are already dating, or have yet to tell that special someone that you love them.

Sometimes, someone may not love you back.  But if you take these steps, you can truly show someone how much you care about them.  Good luck!
