I Love You Messages

Messages for your Love Declaration

As an alternative to "I love you" quotes, you can also use love poems or messages to confess your love or incorporate them into your love declaration.

There are a variety of ways to do this: You can recite them orally, write them in a love letter, or sing them as a love song with your guitar. You may also want to write and recite a love poem yourself.

1)

I’ve been thinking about this moment for so long, could hardly stand it, and had to hold back every day to hide my excitement. I have never been so happy and content as I am with you and I just have to tell you now, I love you.

2)

You are the only person who can always make me laugh; who puts up with me when I’m in a bad mood; with whom I feel completely safe and at home and who has been dreaming of the future together with me for so long.

I love you.

3)

You make me a better person. It’s only since I’ve known you that I’ve felt like myself. Never have I been so appreciated and never have I felt so much love and respect towards another person.

You are the fulfillment of my dreams.

You are the love of my life.

4)

Each time I look at you, I find myself smiling for no reason. You have stolen my heart and I love you with all my heart. Honey, my love for you knows no limits and I want you to know that I will always be by your side.

5)

Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Not lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long as lives this, and this gives life to thee."

(William Shakespeare)

Possibilities of a Love Confession

Romantic Gestures to Say "I love you"

When you’re in love, you probably have butterflies in your stomach and are floating on cloud nine. You want to share your feelings with the whole world so that everyone knows how happy you are – first and foremost, of course, your beloved.

  • "I love you so much"
  • "I love you with all my heart"
  • "I love you because you make my life better"
  • "I love you, my darling"
  • "I love you forever"

These are just a few examples of what your declaration of love could look like. But the right words don’t always come out easily, especially when you confess your love to your crush for the first time.

Fortunately, there are many different ways to say "I love you" that don’t necessarily have to be verbal. You can also express your love wonderfully in written form or by means of gestures. Below you will find some ideas that can inspire your declaration of love.

Romantic Love Confession by Means of Words

Of course, it is still the most beautiful thing to confess your love to the person you love in person and look into their eyes while doing so. This intimate moment is very special and will probably stay in your memory for a long time – especially the first time the three all-important words are spoken.

You can customize this event to fit your relationship. You can simply say "I love you" or recite a love quote or love poem to emphasize your feelings.

However, you should not exaggerate so as not to overwhelm your loved one. With the three important words you make yourself vulnerable.

You will probably want to wait for your counterpart’s answer before you describe your feelings in more depth. If your partner is not also a romantic type, you will probably scare him off with such a comprehensive declaration of love.

Love Confession in Writing

Love Confession in Written Form

You can also express your love in written form in many ways. For example, you can write a love poem or a love letter expressing your feelings.

Of course, you can also make your love confession via WhatsApp or SMS. However, a classic love letter is much more personal and touches on a much deeper level, because in a love letter you have to invest much more effort than in a simple text message.

Even if you underline it with emojis and hearts, a message can be forgotten again just as fast as you typed it. So a love letter offers a particularly nice way to say "I love you."

Advantage of love letters

You can keep a love letter for decades, while a text message or WhatsApp message moves further and further back into the chat history. And even if you take a screenshot, it will probably get lost among all your photos. But you can always pick up a letter again and enjoy it.

Romantic Gestures to Say "I love you"

It’s especially romantic to express your love using gestures. These often say more than a thousand words and have much more personality – only if you come up with something special and tailor the gestures to your crush or partner and your relationship, of course.

Otherwise, they just don’t seem authentic, although they can still give you a nice experience. The following examples may inspire you so that you can plan a very special event.

Writing a Love Song

Writing a Love Song

Nothing is more romantic than a self-written love song for your crush. You can surprise him with your instrument and express your feelings musically. This is often easier than expressing them directly.

You can either use an existing love poem (examples can be found further down in the text) or write your own poem and accompany it with your own melody. This is a great way to impress your crush, even if it takes some effort.

Confessing Love with Gifts

Small gestures in the form of gifts quickly bring a smile to the face of your crush or partner. It does not have to be anything expensive.

For a woman, for example, a bouquet is suitable, which can also be self-picked. A man, on the other hand, might be pleased by his favorite sweets or tickets for a soccer or ice hockey game.

Other great gifts for declaring your love are, for example, books if your partner likes to read, cinema tickets for movie lovers, theater tickets for theater enthusiasts or matching jewelry for your beloved (of course, only if you trust yourself to be able to guess their taste well).

You can also make jewelry yourself; you can not only save money, but also make a very individual piece for your sweetheart. This way, your piece, and thus your declaration of love, is just a touch more personal.

Cooking Food

Cooking is probably one of the most popular joint activities in a partnership. Good food helps you connect and makes you happy. This can also have a positive effect on the relationship.

For example, if you cook your partner his favorite meal, you will certainly bring him a very special joy – especially if he comes home after a long day and you surprise him. But cooking together is also a suitable activity for a first date. If you’re a novice cook, however, you don’t have to despair.

Candlelight Dinner

Candlelight Dinner

Whether you cook it yourself, order food, or go to a restaurant, a nice candlelit dinner makes quite a statement and can be very romantic if you plan it intensively and make it extra special.

You could, for example, make a picnic. Just pack some delicious snacks, make a tasty salad or dip, take a blanket, candles and a Bluetooth speaker with you, and nothing will stand in the way of a romantic outing with a dinner by candlelight.

If you prefer to plan a classic candlelit dinner in a restaurant or at your home, you should ensure a romantic mood and not forget the right outfit. Because a classic dinner by candlelight is also characterized by its elegance.

Tip

Your dinner will be even more spectacular if you plan it as a surprise. This way you can declare your love to your crush or partner in a very special way.

Love Confession with Surprises

With a surprise, you can delight your partner quite unexpectedly. However, when planning a surprise, you should keep in mind that not everyone is the surprise type. While some are thrilled by unexpected events, others are rather less keen on unplanned incidents.

If you want to confess your love with a surprise, you may not yet know how your crush will react to unplanned events. In this case, you may make a bad impression. This variant is therefore a little more risky.

However, if you have been with your partner for years and know that he loves surprises, you can give him a very special treat and express your love.

Notes for Everyday Love Declarations

Small notes with a few kind words to your partner are especially suitable for everyday declarations of love, which you can use to sweeten your partner’s everyday life a little.

For example, you can write down what you love about your partner or simply record a beautiful love quote or a romantic saying to tell your partner "I love you" in slightly different words.

Distribute the small notes throughout the apartment, for example on the bed, on the mirror, on the dining table, on the front door or on the refrigerator. This way, your partner will always see anew how much you love him.
