These two words which are so simple, but which are so difficult to say, can be expressed in different ways: with a hug, worrying about the other, preparing the partner's favorite dish, going to the cinema to see a movie we don't like, etc.. An "I love you", therefore, is a hug, a few moments of silence, questions that show the other that we listen to him or help out when the person we love is in difficulty.
A feeling can be demonstrated in deed and in words. However, we often have the belief that feelings can only be expressed through language. It is not true, because if we pay attention to the attitudes of the other, we will be able to realize what they really feel. There are a thousand ways to say "I love you" without having to resort to these two words.
What does an "I love you" entail?
When we have recently been in a relationship, but we already know something about love, it takes us some time to reveal our true feelings. Let's start with a shy "I love you" e we say "I love you" only when we are very sure of our feelings.
Exposing yourself too much gives the feeling of being vulnerable, sensitive and sometimes even "trivial". Thus, in addition to protecting us, it seems that revealing our feelings to the other obliges him to reciprocate them. We start like this and remain silent, and days, weeks or months go by.
Although each of us has our own times to say "I love you", certainly these two words contain much more than simple affection. They symbolize a commitment, a challenge, a step that we may not be ready for, but that we would like to take many times.
How to say "I love you" without using words?
We are not made of stone and we are not even robots without feelings. Not putting into words what we feel is a totally different matter. Perhaps you also believe that the only way to tell your partner, your parents, your friends or your grandparents that you love them is by saying these two magical words..
However, there are a thousand different ways to show affection and love. They are based on the attitudes we adopt towards others, on how we care about them and on the fact that we always want them to be well. Everyday gestures can better express what we feel, instead of exaggerating and saying “I love you” all the time.
"How was your day?", "Be careful in the car", "Don't forget to take your jacket", "I made the lasagna just the way you like it", "You choose the movie to see", "You slept well ? "," I'll take the children to school "," Stay in bed, I'll bring you breakfast "," How good is this skirt! "," I bought that product that the doctor recommended "," Do you want Will you take you by car? "," You did an excellent job! "," Dinner is delicious! " and the list goes on.
Have you seen how easy it is to show others that we love them? Small gestures are as precious as a "I love you" repeated over and over again amidst fear and prejudice. For sure you know the motto that goes: “a picture is worth a thousand words”. In this case we would say that "a nice gesture is positive and improves if we accompany it with two simple words and actions that reflect what they express".
Say "I love you" or "I love you"?
Many say that "I love you" is the step before "I love you". Others say that the first sentence contains a sense of possession and the second of delivery. Certainly, in one way or another, we are expressing what we feel inside of us.
Don't be ashamed and don't feel embarrassed to say one of these two miraculous, unique and wonderful phrases. You will feel really happy and you will make the other person happy. Also remember that "words take the wind away" and if you want them to help create the foundation of your relationship, they must be accompanied by facts.
"I miss you", "Take care of you", "I wish you goodnight", "I was thinking of you", "Dinner is ready in the oven", "Call me when you get home", "Remember the umbrella ”,“ Shall I make you a coffee? ”… How will you say“ I love you ”today?
