10 Simple Ways To Let Your Significant Other Know You Love Them

Saying, “I love you”, bringing home roses, getting a card… those are some of the more common ways to show your special someone that you love them. But there are SO many more ways.

There are just as many ways to show someone you love them as their are people in the world to love. You can use words, touch, small gestures, gifts, time, or routines. Showing the one you love just how much they mean to you can be done in little ways or big ways. But all the ways add up and can really show you care.

# Hold hands

While you’re in private or in public. It shows the person you’re with and the world that you love each other!

# Take them out on real dates

Set aside date nights. This gives you an opportunity to express your love and affection.

# Plan to stay in

Take a break from having to go out. This trend is everywhere from the Nordic idea of hygge (to get cozy) to Netflix and Chill.

# Choose them over your friends

Nothing says I want to be with you more than your significant other choosing you over their friends.

# Ladies, clean up after yourself

Get those gross hairs out of the drain. Guys hate that.

# Guys, clean up after yourself

Wash those whiskers, toothpaste, and anything else your girl doesn’t want to see first thing in the morning down the sink.

# Choose an experience as a gift

Give a gift that can be shared, such as tickets to the theater or a wine tasting class.

# Share your dreams

Your dreams are something powerful and personal. Opening up about them to your partner shows you trust and love them.

# Initiate more sex

Don’t just do it when you’re feeling in the mood, work harder on helping your lover get in the mood. It shows you’re dying to get intimate.

# Unplug when you’re together

Focus on your loved one and not your phone. If that’s too difficult for you, mutually decide on one photo/moment for the evening to put on social. Then fully focus your attention on each other.
