How to you express to someone that you love them?

Love is the willful intent to serve the well being of another.  Here are some famous quotes on love:

"Love is friendship set on fire." - unknown 

"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." - Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it." - Robert Mitchum 

"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." - Mark Twain

"Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day." - Nicholas Sparks  

So how do you show someone that you love them?  There are many, many ways:

Wash the dishes by hand with your lover even if you have a dishwasher.  -  Write your lover a poem or romantic short story. -  Create a romantic thank you note for all they happiness they bring you. - Put a picture of your lover on your dashboard. - Hug, touch, or caress your lover whenever possible. -  Stare deeply into your lover's eyes and whisper the words "I love you." - Start a romantic blog and dedicate it to your lover. - Give your lover an ameture manicure or pedicure.

Other ways you can show your love:

  • Step out of your comfort zone and particpate in something that your lover enjoys doing.  It could be as simple as watching a movie you wouldn't normally watch or going to a sports venue. 
  • Take time out to listen.  Sometimes this is the simplest of acts, yet the most meaningful.
  • Know things about them.  What is their favorite color?  Do they like coffee or tea?  Are they a mustard or mayonaise person.  Knowing the details about your partner is vital to any relationship.
  • Turn off the TV and the Phones.  Light some candles and give your lover a massage.  Or sit and talk.  Or laydown and hold and caress them.
  • Don't be afraid to be creative.  Paint or draw a picture of your lover even if you are horrible at it.

I think you need to start a series with this. It was very informative for us XY chromosomes.

Got some reason that stupid dance-hall song "what is love...baby don't hurt me.. don't hurt me .. no more" comes to mind?? Not really relevant to your topic though.

Thanks for the post :-)

I picked the song more for the question of "What is love" and I kinda thought it fit when I wrote it....I will edit and find a better song.

Love is to "be there" when someone needs you, to listen, to show interest in what you say and do. Like you said, listening is so simple and yet so difficult to find someone who really listens.

Thumbs up!
