8 Cute Ways To Tell You Love Someone

How to express your feelings to someone you love? After all, it requires guts and life doesn’t play out like a movie scene. Ever said “I love you” a million times in your head but found yourself sweating nervously when it actually came to saying it out loud? Let’s say you beat that performance pressure and end up saying those three magical words. And they kick start the engine of your relationship.

Before you know, saying “I love you” in a long-term relationship becomes an unconscious and boring but necessary habit (like brushing your teeth). So, then how to express your feelings to someone you love, without making it sound cliché and overrated?

Falling in love with someone is only half the battle won. Even if you start dating the person that you love, you need to know how to express your feelings in words/actions at regular intervals, even if it’s too cheesy or awkward for you. And be creative and novel in your expressions of your feelings. But how? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back with 8 super cute ways to express your love to your partner.

# "I am there for you"

It may happen that your partner had a rough day at work. Or a huge fight with parents. Or worse, he or she lost a pet. Such situations are pretty much beyond your control and you can hardly do anything to ease their pain. You don’t know how it feels and even if you do, you are not the one going through it at that very moment.

What you can do in such situations is tell your partner that you are there for them, through thick and thin. Sometimes, all a person needs to get through the tough times is the comfort of knowing that someone’s got their back. How do I express my feelings to him in words? I just say, “I am there for you. I got you. You can talk to me whenever you feel comfortable. Or we can sit in silence. Just know that I am not going anywhere.”

# Long hugs

How can I express my feelings to someone I love, you ask? Try giving them a long and tight hug. Bear hugs, or “love blankets” as they are called, can make your partner forget about their worries. When it feels difficult to express your feelings to someone you love in words, you can just resort to a prolonged hug, with a tight squeeze. What’s the secret behind hugs? Hugging makes us feel like children in our mothers’ wombs, so warm and secure that no one can hurt us.

# "I respect you"

How to express your feelings to someone you love? Show respect. Respect is a feeling much greater than love because even when that heady rush of love settles down, mutual respect is what keeps a relationship going. So, when you see your partner toiling for 12 hours a day, tell them that you respect their hard work and dedication. Or, when you see them breaking old patterns like staying calm in situations that would normally get them all worked up, appreciate them by showing respect.

Look for qualities in your partner that you deeply admire. It could even be traits that you lack and can learn from. For example, their small habits like getting up early in the morning or working out every day. Or reading books. Or calling up their parents every day to check on them. If you’ve wondered, “How can I express my feelings to someone I love?”, saying, “I respect the person you are. This is the reason I love you, inside-out”, might just do the trick.

# Write a love letter

I know it can be such a task. How to write a love letter? After all, the last poem you wrote was in 7th grade and it can still take you hours to find rhyming words for ‘cat’. Come on…Bat, Rat, Mat. Use a rhyming dictionary, for god’s sake! Jokes apart, writing has always been my savior, when it comes to expressing my feelings to him (my boyfriend).

The movie Letters to Juliet still gets me all mushy! So, go write a love letter. Expressing your feelings to someone you love is not that hard if you just let yourself pour your heart out on a piece of paper.

# Surprise them with breakfast in bed

And here we don’t mean that you get them instant noodles. We mean you put in a little more effort than boiling water. The ultimate love language is doing something that is totally out of your comfort zone, like serving them breakfast in bed. How to explain your feelings to someone you love? The fragrance of the food could do all the explaining!

Everybody loves waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and a cheese omelet. You don’t even have to do too much. You can just cut some fruits and dress them in an aesthetic manner. Or pour some orange juice. Don’t forget to wake up a little early, sleepyhead. You could also look for simple and fun recipes to cook together this weekend.

# How to express your feelings to someone you love? Create a mixtape

A famous dialogue from the movie Begin Again goes: “You can tell a lot about a person from what’s on their playlist.” Sharing music is like hitting the eighth base in a relationship. Dedicating music is extremely romantic and intimate (could even make your girlfriend cry out of happiness) because that particular song will always remind your partner of you.

How to express your feelings to your girlfriend? Compile a playlist of songs that hold a special meaning for you both. It could be a song that you both jam on when you’re on a drive. Or the first song that you ever dedicated to her. Or a song that you think she might love. Or even the songs that you both made out on (who are we kidding? The Weeknd makes the best sex songs. Period.)

# Hold your partner's hand

When someone intertwines the fingers of their hand with yours, that feeling is so heart-warming, right? Expressing your feelings to your boyfriend can be as simple as giving his hand a gentle squeeze. Likewise, if you’re wondering how to express your feelings to your girlfriend in novel ways, know that a little PDA is actually cute. Don’t overdo it but who doesn’t like showing their partner off, just a little bit?

# "I can’t get enough of you"

Do you love your boyfriend so much that you want to spend every waking minute with him? Or, do you start missing your girlfriend as soon as she leaves your sight? Yes, that’s how love feels and you have fallen hard, my friend. If that’s the way you feel, express it through texts that will make him want you more or make her heart skip a beat.

My ex and I were really into each other. I would express my feelings to him through texts like “I miss you”, “I can’t get enough of you”, “I can’t wait to be around you”, or “I love every moment that I spend with you”. I would send these texts at random hours of the day, whenever he would cross my mind. Cheesy but romantic enough to make his day.
