If you still believe in “falling in love” then you will realize how difficult it is to state, “I love you” in a meaningful way. Three little words that could change your life forever. The words, themselves, have lost their meaning because of overuse especially when it’s not really true. Everybody says them.

When you decide that the time is right to let your partner know how you feel about them, there are several issues that you will probably be concerned about that can make actually doing it feel really hard. What if they don’t love you back?  What if they pretend they have not heard because they feel embarassed?  What if they think it is too soon?

To make it easy on yourself, plan the declaration in advance as much as possible to eliminate any problems. The first step, of course, is to be certain you really are in love. Saying “I love you” just because is not a valid reason. If you enjoy being with your partner that you want to be with him or her to the exclusion of all others and if you think of him or her each day when you are apart, you are probably in love. If you’ve even a small doubt you should wait a little longer.

Once you’re totally positive you want to drop those three little words on your special someone, plan how you are going to do it so that, as much as possible, you eliminate the problems. Make it a significant moment in your life — one to remember with fondness for your whole life — this should not be left to a simple e-mail or phone call. Arrange an intimate dinner at his or her favorite restaurant. Give him or her a small gift because you love being with them, or you are so glad that you met them.

After dinner while holding your partner intimately gaze intently into their eyes and state, “I love you so much it hurts when we’re apart. I hope that we have the ability to stay together forever”.

Do not be disappointed if your partner does not return your declaration right away. Under no circumstances should you ever ask your partner, “Do you love me”? They may not yet be ready and might need more time to state their feelings.

Be there to experience the ups and downs of your beloved’s life, even if they don’t immediately reciprocate. Let them know that you care about their happiness and do what you can to safeguard that happiness. The wonderful thing about love is that it can grow over time!
