How To Say I Love You
By Jeff Cohen
Relationships jump to the next level when one partner says "I
love you". Learn the best ways to communicate the L-word and how
to improve your chances of hearing "I love you too"!
Here's How:
1. Do You Mean It? Decide if you really want to say "I love you"
or if you have an |
 |
|
ulterior motive. Escalating a relationship to the love phase for
sexual, financial, or other secondary reasons only causes
problems down the road. |
|

2. Will it be Reciprocated? Calculate whether or not you believe
your partner is at the same juncture. If you partner is using
phrases like, "I'm falling for you", "I've never felt this way",
or "I could spend forever with you", there's a good chance your
"I love you" will be reciprocated.
3. How Will the Message be Delivered? Decide the best way to
communicate the message based on you and your partner's style.
If your partner loves text messages or emails, consider a
cyber-expression. If your partner is the spontaneous type, then
mix the "I love you" into a fun-filled evening together.
4. Can you Back it Up? Saying "I love you" for the first time
will be more meaningful and impactful if you back it up with a
few reasons. Tell your partner what you love about them, whether
it's their gentle spirit, passionate kisses, or optimistic
outlook on life.
5. Will you Take the Pressure Off? Your partner may respond
positively immediately or they may be caught off guard and need
some time to let the moment sink in. If your partner doesn't
respond right away, give it a chance. There's no reason to cause
a fight. Just because you've been planning this moment, remember
it's new and possibly out of the blue for your partner.
6. Are you Ready for the Next Step? Don't get fooled into
believing all the pressure is lifted once "I love you" is on the
table from both parties. Escalating a relationship to the "I
love you" phase opens the door to discussing long term
commitment and possibly marriage. Be ready for the next steps if
you say "I love you". |
