It's quite easy to say the words "I love you" even when you don't truly mean it, this post is not about saying these exact words or even showing it through actions. Don't get me wrong, it's important to tell your significant other how much you love them and even more important to show how much, but today's emphasis is on how other statements can still communicate that love, and in certain situations and contexts might even mean more to your partner than "I love you".
At this point, we're all aware of the power of words to a good extent, and we even know how beautiful it can be when you say something at the right time and even how terrible it can be to say that same thing at the wrong time, human communication is affected greatly by context, tone, and timing among other things.
We've all probably seen movies or read books where something happens between the couple, tempers flare and one of the pair decides to stop shouting and does or says something sweet instead and just like sorcery, it's problem solved! and most times what was said is not "I love you" but we can tell that is what was meant.
You might want to take note of some of these statements, they could come in handy to give rouse the butterflies in your partner's belly, you might have even used some or had someone use them on you.
1. I adore you
2. You are beautiful
3. You complete me

Wait!
Before we go for the last two, I will like to ask, Can we ever say I Love You without actually saying it? Nope! But we can mean it with the words we say. So instead of just saying "I Love You", why not spice things up by adding some more life to them. So you can say
34. I love you to the moon and back
35. I love you till infinity and beyond
An extra tip is to use these words not only when you mean them but also in romantic ways. Adding some words to these may cause your partner to fall in love with you again. Use these even if you think you are not romantic and you will be surprised at the effect a word or two will have on the "lines" we have mentioned above.
1. Hey babe, ...
2. Use his or her pet name (then insert the words)
3. My love, ...
4. Sweetie, ...
5. Baby, ...
The list is endless, just switch on your creativity and let it flow.
Apart from just saying these words to your partner, you can also send any of them as a message when your significant other least expects it during the day. Imagine the joy!
You can also write the words on a small piece of paper and put it somewhere he or she can find them. So romantic!
Try out any of these and let us know how it goes. Also, share with us in the comments section what other ways the word I Love You can be said without saying it.
Wow!...really insightful and engaging
