Consider your partner's personality. Some people enjoy attention and extra frills, while others prefer simpler expressions of love. As such, you'll need to contemplate what your partner likes so that you can plan the best way to tell her that you love her.

Choose a setting. Perhaps you want to tell your partner in the privacy of a home, or maybe taking him to a romantic restaurant will be the best setting for uttering those three words. However, if you are unsure of how your partner feels, tell him in a private place while the two of you are alone so that he does not feel pressure to say something he may not feel. Or, if you believe that your partner may share similar feelings, you can take a risk by telling him in a more public setting. No matter where you tell him, it must be face-to-face, rather than on the phone or via instant message, for example.

Break the ice by telling your partner how much you enjoy spending time with her. However, keep it light and don't turn it into a drawn-out speech. You may say something like, "I've never had as much fun as I've had with you over these past few months."

Tell her how you feel. Look her in the eye and say "I love you." Give her time to take in what you just said and stay calm if she does not respond right away. If she does not respond or says that she does not love you, go about your day as normal, as she may not be ready to say those words to you just yet.

Have a conversation with your partner in a few days if he does not respond and clarify that the two of you are on the same page.
