How to Write Quotes about Intimacy Yourself: 5 Tips
If you want to write intimate sayings yourself, the assessment of your partner is the most important. If you want to maintain the relationship, and you already make the effort to write a saying yourself, you should make sure that the saying is also appropriate.
It should fit your partner and reflect your individual relationship. Capturing these characteristics and putting them into words is easier said than done. We’d like to help you write your own saying with this guide.
Brainstorm
The first step to writing intimate sayings is brainstorming. Firstly, write down everything you can think of about your relationship in an unsorted way. For this purpose, common hobbies, experiences or other things that connect you are suitable.
You can write down individual words, phrases, sentences, or even a short text. When you have collected everything, you can divide your notes into clusters or rhymes, depending on your taste. This way you bring some structure into it and simplify your writing process.
Now either move along the rhymes or formulate a saying that does not rhyme and is simply thematically coherent. Sometimes simple lists of words and repetitions can be enough to create a nice saying. When brainstorming, these guiding questions can help you:
- When and where did we meet?
- What was the first thing he/she said to me?
- Why can I imagine a future with him/her?
- What were our most beautiful moments?
- When did we first say I love you to each other?
Pay Attention to Individuality
In order to make the line really intimate, you should avoid all clichéd phrases. Appeal to the uniqueness of your relationship and prove to your partner how incomparable and irreplaceable they are for you. To find out and emphasize your individual bond, these guiding questions will help you:
- What do we complement each other well in?
- What are my favorite characteristics in him/her?
- How do we behave in conflict situations?
- What have we been through so far?
- What makes our relationship special?
Try Storytelling
In storytelling, you can use anything that came to your mind in response to the brainstorming questions. Depending on how long you want your intimate love text or line to be, you can include different aspects of your relationship.
If you have enough material to write several intimate sayings directly, use your inspiration and write them down. Who knows, when you could use another intimate saying next.
Another way of storytelling is to literally tell a short story. Recall particularly beautiful moments in the relationship and talk about your memory of them. For example, write a short, freely written text.
Include the Future of Your Relationship
Intimate sayings are not only suitable for when you want to say “I love you”. Even when an important step in your relationship is coming up, and you don’t know how to address it, you can use a saying.
For example, if you’re going on vacation with your partner for the first time or even if you’re moving in together, you can express that with an intimate saying. Here are a few examples of intimate words:
1)
Franz Kafka once said, “He has best provided for the future who provides for the present.” — I promise to always protect and love you, so that we can always build on each other in the future.
2)
They say you can’t foresee the future. But I can see our future very clearly in front of me, and I am sure that it will happen that way.
3)
My love. I ask you a question, it has been bothering me for many days.
In my dream, I see us both in one room.
Let’s move in together, you have given me unimagined powers.
My love, it has never been so strong,
That’s why I had to ask you this.
Finally, I see clearly – please say yes!

Use Your Own Quotes
To please your partner, you can also prove to him or her that you have been paying attention and appreciate the little things in your relationship.
Reflect and think if you have any insiders in common. Did your partner ever say something that impressed you, or did you have a shared insight about your relationship or life? Write it down. Ideally, such a quote would be dated, of course. Maybe you can at least think of the year.
Another possibility would be to write everything that impresses you, or that you simply find beautifully said, down from now on with a date. You make your partner feel special, because you are not only attentive, but also show admiration and respect for his personality.
What Intimacy Actually Is
To be able to determine which sayings are intimate, we must first ask ourselves this question: What actually is intimacy?
Intimacy, after all, has established itself as an epoch for a reason. It is characterized by the subjective and imaginative perception of man. Its motifs are longing and love.
Intimacy strives for infinity and a blasting of the boundaries between dream and reality. It is no different with intimate sayings.
When you are in love and write such a saying yourself, you are also writing down your very own thoughts about love and life.
Everyone has their own idea of what intimacy is. Some like it clichéd with fireworks and a carriage, others find it romantic when someone cooks for them or takes good care of their children.
Still others have no use for candlelight and love poems. Love letters can be intimate in a special way, because not everyone likes to be the center of attention and appreciates public proofs of love. Not everyone is a fan of surprises.
In the end, you have to know for yourself what you and your partner consider intimate and what not. When it comes to intimacy, the focus should of course be on what is intimate to your partner.
However, you should not confuse intimacy with intimate clichés. So don’t assume that something is automatically intimate to a person just because it’s pink, public, or sung.
