10 Romantic Ways To Express Your Feelings To Someone

"There is no need to say: Love, I love you. Let your whole being say it. If you love, it will say it, words are not needed at all." The way that you say it will express it; the way that you move will express it; the way that you look will express it. Your whole being will express it.

"Love is such a vital phenomenon that you cannot hide it. Has anybody ever been capable of hiding his love? Nobody can hide it.." Osho has written in the book When the Shoe Fits: Stories of the Taoist Mystic Chuang Tzu. You cannot hide all that love in the deepest corners of your heart. You have to find ways to express it and let it pour out of you. Here are some ways to tell someone you love them without saying it.

# I am there for you

It may happen that your partner had a rough day at work. Or a huge fight with parents. Or worse, he or she lost a pet. Such situations are pretty much beyond your control and you can hardly do anything to ease their pain. You don’t know how it feels and even if you do, you are not the one going through it at that very moment.

What you can do in such situations is tell your partner that you are there for them, through thick and thin. Sometimes, all a person needs to get through the tough times is the comfort of knowing that someone’s got their back. How do I express my feelings to him in words? I just say, “I am there for you. I got you. You can talk to me whenever you feel comfortable. Or we can sit in silence. Just know that I am not going anywhere.”

# Long hugs

How can I express my feelings to someone I love, you ask? Try giving them a long and tight hug. Bear hugs, or “love blankets” as they are called, can make your partner forget about their worries. When it feels difficult to express your feelings to someone you love in words, you can just resort to a prolonged hug, with a tight squeeze. What’s the secret behind hugs? Hugging makes us feel like children in our mothers’ wombs, so warm and secure that no one can hurt us.

# I respect you

How to express your feelings to someone you love? Show respect. Respect is a feeling much greater than love because even when that heady rush of love settles down, mutual respect is what keeps a relationship going. So, when you see your partner toiling for 12 hours a day, tell them that you respect their hard work and dedication. Or, when you see them breaking old patterns like staying calm in situations that would normally get them all worked up, appreciate them by showing respect.

Look for qualities in your partner that you deeply admire. It could even be traits that you lack and can learn from. For example, their small habits like getting up early in the morning or working out every day. Or reading books. Or calling up their parents every day to check on them. If you’ve wondered, “How can I express my feelings to someone I love?”, saying, “I respect the person you are. This is the reason I love you, inside-out”, might just do the trick.

# Write a love letter

I know it can be such a task. How to write a love letter? After all, the last poem you wrote was in 7th grade and it can still take you hours to find rhyming words for ‘cat’. Come on…Bat, Rat, Mat. Use a rhyming dictionary, for god’s sake! Jokes apart, writing has always been my savior, when it comes to expressing my feelings to him (my boyfriend).

The movie Letters to Juliet still gets me all mushy! So, go write a love letter. Expressing your feelings to someone you love is not that hard if you just let yourself pour your heart out on a piece of paper.

# Surprise them with breakfast in bed

And here we don’t mean that you get them instant noodles. We mean you put in a little more effort than boiling water. The ultimate love language is doing something that is totally out of your comfort zone, like serving them breakfast in bed. How to explain your feelings to someone you love? The fragrance of the food could do all the explaining!

Everybody loves waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and a cheese omelet. You don’t even have to do too much. You can just cut some fruits and dress them in an aesthetic manner. Or pour some orange juice. Don’t forget to wake up a little early, sleepyhead. You could also look for simple and fun recipes to cook together this weekend.

# How to express your feelings to someone you love? Create a mixtape

A famous dialogue from the movie Begin Again goes: “You can tell a lot about a person from what’s on their playlist.” Sharing music is like hitting the eighth base in a relationship. Dedicating music is extremely romantic and intimate (could even make your girlfriend cry out of happiness) because that particular song will always remind your partner of you.

How to express your feelings to your girlfriend? Compile a playlist of songs that hold a special meaning for you both. It could be a song that you both jam on when you’re on a drive. Or the first song that you ever dedicated to her. Or a song that you think she might love.

# Hold your partner's hand

When someone intertwines the fingers of their hand with yours, that feeling is so heart-warming, right? Expressing your feelings to your boyfriend can be as simple as giving his hand a gentle squeeze. Likewise, if you’re wondering how to express your feelings to your girlfriend in novel ways, know that a little PDA is actually cute. Don’t overdo it but who doesn’t like showing their partner off, just a little bit?

# "I can't get enough of you"

Do you love your boyfriend so much that you want to spend every waking minute with him? Or, do you start missing your girlfriend as soon as she leaves your sight? Yes, that’s how love feels and you have fallen hard, my friend. If that’s the way you feel, express it through texts that will make him want you more or make her heart skip a beat.

# How to express your feelings to someone you love? Forehead kisses

How to express your feelings to your girlfriend? Kiss her on the forehead. It’s like you’re kissing her brains, thoughts, and ideas. Forehead kisses express just the right amount of emotional intimacy, comfort, and compassion. After all, every person wants to be touched in a non-sexual way too. Non-sexual touches will make you feel more intimate and closer to your partner.

# "You're great, just the way you are"

Every single person has their share of insecurities. And living in a world where people put their masked selves on social media, the pressure can sometimes get to us and make us feel inadequate. When I scroll through my Instagram feed, it sometimes crushes my self-esteem. I go into loops like “I am not thin enough” or “I don’t have a lit life like my friends”.
