5 Simple Ways to Say "I Love You"

Sometimes saying "I love you" becomes so routine that it begins to lose meaning. Listed below are five great ways to show that special someone in your life that you love him/her. Everyone loves surprises, especially when they come from someone they love. Show your loved one how special they are to you. The tips mentioned below are great for new relationships that are still in the building stages. They are also great for happily married couples or even couples that have grown apart.

Show Him/Her How Lucky You Are

Buy a scratch-off lottery ticket. Attach a note reading, "Hope you get lucky. I sure did when I found you." Leave it in a place where your loved one will find it, like in his/her vehicle.

Give Him/Her an Unexpected Call or Email

Call your significant other's voicemail and leave a special message telling him or her how special they are to you. You can also just leave a simple message, saying "Thinking of you." or "Can't wait to see you." Sending a quick email is another alternative.

Give Him/Her a Special Treat

Buy your significant other a small present when they are not expecting anything. You can buy anything from a book he/she wants to read to his/her favorite candy bar. Flowers are always popular too, whether they are bought at a flower shop or picked from the flower garden behind your house. Attach a note reading, "Thinking of You." You can present the gift in person or leave around the house for him/her to stumble upon.

Get Frisky

Surprise your significant other by initiating sexual activity at an unexpected time or in an unexpected place. It is very common in relationships to get in a sexual rut. Stepping out of the usual, and say, initiating oral sex in the shower, can add some spice back into your relationship. Please note: This tip is usually more successful when women use it on men than vise versa.

Write Him/Her a Letter

Remember the feeling you got reading love notes in high school. Surprise your loved one with a letter or poem. It can be short and sweet or long and detailed, but the effort is what matters. If he/she is the one who gets the mail, send it to him/her for an unexpected surprise.

These tips are sure to make your loved one feel special, and in turn, he/she may start to give you a few surprises too.
