Hi friends,
From my point of view there are 4 ways how to say "I Love You" to your love partner, to your hubby or wife or husband, to your future partner, to your prospective lover.
First the old ways of making letter and tell your feeling about.
Second the modern and fashionable using of mobile (via SMS, MMS and others)
Third is personal appearance with matching flower or chocolate (old ways also)
Fourth is by using other people like friends, brother or sister
From the above ways which of you are most prepared you done or doing or you used to your partner? Which for you is more romantic and truthful. If you have additional ways apprecaited if you can share. Also appreciate more broad from your answer... see you around

Hi visavis, I wish you a very happy new year.
I can say these words are very emotional, heart touching and lovely which gives so much great feeling and happy lot of pleasure to the heart. Some people like me may not know how to express their love to their loved ones, i used to take my husband hands and i will express with my eyes all my love will reflect through my eyes and through my hands, i rarely said that I LOVE YOU to my husband. But i told him many times that i like you so much. I will send sms to my friend saying that i like you, or i will say to my siblings to my son that i like you so much but never told i love you though i have so much love on them. And also to my father and mother though i love them and worship them like anything. It is there in my heart but i didnt say anytime. Even i love god but never said outside that i love you god, but while praying i will tell god that i love you god. To all my members i have love, i will say to them in myself not to them i donot know why.
Have a great day.

hello visavis,
Like i wrote above... if you believe the person,and if you love the person undoubtly you can feel the sincerity even if you can not see the person.
Look,there are couples who are living together and saying i love you to each other....but,one of them is having affair with other girl/guy.
So,it doesn't matter if you can see the person or not...it is the sincerity that matters.
Ok..granting that the person from the other end of the phone is lying ,pretending he loves me,and he is just saying i love you but deep in his heart he doesn't love me.
Fine,he lied to me,so what,....i am not the one who tell lies...and,he is not just fooling me,but also fooling himself for saying i love you without conviction.
As long as i am sincere,and i am true to myself...i don't care if the one who say's i love you is a liar ...truth always prevails...someday somehow it will prevail.

hello Jo,
Yes,i love you is not enough to express our love to our loved ones.
And gestures are more expressive than words.
Looking in the eyes is enough to give the message of love (only heart can understand a heart's expression)
Sometimes,we need to say the word " i love you "...and i love ,saying i love you to people i loved the most.
HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR...WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST

Hello friends both of you are correct but I have question or thinking for both of you, what if your partner are away from you how is it effective your both ideas of saying i love you. Abviously by telephone or by other means of communications, do you think the same power of true... as you both claimed.. see you around

Hello friend thanks to your view, but do you believe that others are not using all those ways instead may be one only because of some reason, like making letter because he is shy type. If your using or used all those ways it is better and you are good... see you around

Hello friend,
I rather choose the old ways making letter because for me I really love reading those particularly if my boyfriend give it to me it is soo touching for the girls..
And in additional I can cherish and keep the letter for a long time.
Actually sir I don't prefer sms because for me it really boring it is like the guy don't get more effort to show that he really does what's on the text. And I can't keep it forever. How will I right? it the phone got stolen or the laptop got broken?? hehe LOL
The third is flowers with chocolates. I LOVE IT really really love it. It really more romantic if the guy did that for you.
Fourth is using your friend brother or sisters, it is also romantic but i don't prefer it much because I want the guy to do his own effort alone. LOL ^_^

i'm not a romantic person... so i say i love you to my hubby just by saying the words directly to him... or i show him through my actions like i kiss him or do something nice to him... that's all... take care and have a nice day...

I like The third best...I mean I pride myself on being very low maintanence and easy to please, but it has been a reeeeeeeeally long time since someone has done that for me. So it would be great if I got flowers and candy.
Having said that, I am not apposed to getting a text or a letter. Ofcourse a actual handwritten letter is much more intimate. When me and my man first started dating, we used to give eachother greeting cards with something encouraging, just to let each other know we love and appreciate eachother. Anyway, things sure have changed since then.

hello friend,
There are many other ways of saying i love you.
Simple gesture,body language/moves could mean a lot.
Looking in the eye...can express love.
Love needs no single word,it is the heart that speaks,and the heart understand.
I say i love you,i love to hear those words too.(he is far anyway...only spoken through phone)
It's a music to the heart...that gives joy unmeasured.
Have a good day always

it is true that saying i love you (when you can not see the person) is easy to say (that's easy for people who are used to fool others)
but for people who are not used to tell lies...saying i love you even in phone is not easy .
if you strongly believed and loved one person...you can feel the word i love you sincerely (unless you are just fooling each other)
let the love met love... sometimes the word i love you need not to be spoken...
it becomes worthless if spoken by mouth alone without the true essence of love.

Hello my friend, thanks so your prepared for personal appearance so that you can express your feelings with action. But how you can know that his words is true if using only by phone which anybody can do that - is it music also to your heart if you heard the magic word i love you? What do you think? see you around

Just saying i love you can be said in so many different ways. We do not only need to say the words we feel. We have to mesan them as well. Saying these words is not enough. we have to show the feeling too.

for me actions speaks louder than words. what i do for him to know that i love him is by making sure that i spend time with him and treat him as a king.
i don't like fancy gifts or extravagance. what i want for him to know is that i would be faithful to him and would surely be by his side all the time, loving him with all that i can...

In my mind, I hate someone to say He or She loved me.
I also hate to say I loved to someone.
Among the Fourth methods, none of them I can accept it.
ha! ha! ha! I hope you won't mind for me to say so.
In fact, I am telling the true sincerely.
I am just concerning about my afford or my hard works so that, they can feel that I am loving them.
I never like to hear, but I like to feel if she or he is loving me.
I never like to tell, but I like to show that I am loving someone.
This is only my personal philosophy.

Hi visavis, I choose to differ. I think there are infinite ways to say I love you. Instead of looking at technology, say it with (1) sincerity, (2) tenderness (3) patience (4) joy (5) peace (6) faithfulnes ....I think you get the picture. And the best part of it is to say it....every opportunity you can. I don't think your spouse will think you are patronizing her...because you have to couple what you say with how you act. Mmmm...was i too hard on you? I hope not. he he.

To me i would just go in person to them, to be there by there side and it will show on my face and by my body language how happy i am. I think love letters are a great way to express your feelings, it says a lot and they can be kept. To have friends do your dirtywork or relatives do it shows you have little or no confidence, you don't have to buy things to show that you love them, they can't be bought. A text again is nice but letters beat that as they are in your own handwriting and can be kept safely. To spend time with them, to listen to them, to be there for them and to show them you appreciate them says enough. Also, to look to the future by getting engaged, married, planning a baby, moving in together, these also are signs of things like love, trust, commitment.
