Step 1
Decide if you do, indeed, love your mate. Most partners can see through a halfhearted 'love ya' - which won't do your relationship any good.
-
Step 2
Consider the possibility that your partner might not respond with the hoped-for 'I love you, too.' If you can handle that and still want to express your love, go for it. If you can't, then consider holding off until either you're certain your partner will respond as hoped or you're OK with it if he or she doesn't.
-
Step 3
Think about how you'd like to let your partner know the way you feel, keeping in mind that uttering those words may give birth to a lifelong memory. If spontaneity works for you, wait for the perfect moment. If you're more methodical, consider writing a love letter first, then telling your mate in person the next time you get together.
-
Step 4
If you decide in advance when to reveal your love, plan a special evening around it. Such relationship milestones warrant celebration.
-
Step 5
When you tell your partner you love him or her, do so while making total eye contact, and while you are holding each other. This gives the moment the intimacy it deserves.

on 10/7/2008 I have been in a relationship for 5 months & just recently told him. I had been waiting for just the right moment & planned everything out. Guess what? It did not happen the way I planned it,bottom line is: don't plan too much.Just let it flow.-It WILL come out.

on 5/14/2008 I love you is an important word, that you shouldn't say early on, but some people who say it early must have seen some quality in you that you didn't notice. Sometimes I love you can mean more than a commitment word between potential life long lovers, but also to say to the other person "I care about you, because you make me happy and because you care about me. You make each day of my life happier because you are there with me, there is not many people in my life that can make me feel so special as you make me feel" that is why you say "I love you"

on 5/14/2008 Sometimes some people say it right away...I think that some people are silly, but others may actually know that they love you because they can see some quality about you that others can't see. Maybe "I love You" is an important word, but it can hold other meanings such as "I care about you a lot, and that you make my day happier just having you near me and caring for me too". Maybe, we ought to realize that "I love You" is not just a word of commitment, but a word to show others how much we appreciate their existence because it makes us happy to be alive too.
