”I really like you. ” ”My feelings for you get stronger every single day. ” ”You are so important to me. I’m so glad that we’re together. ”

You might watch movies like Love & Basketball, The Notebook, or Titanic.

For instance, if you notice their favorite movie is on TV, text them to let them know.

Mail this letter or slip it to them next time you see them.

Speak highly of your loved one to other people, too–especially in their presence!

However, if they don’t text back or never reach out first, then you should back off. You don’t want to come off as a stalker instead of caring.

Ask yourself questions like “Are they kind to me?” “Do they show me affection?” “Do they support me?”

Say something like “I have such deep feelings for you and they seem to get more intense every day. I know we haven’t been dating for that long but I really love you. ”

For instance, you might include songs like “She’s Everything” by Brad Paisley or “Bonnie and Clyde” by Jay Z and Beyonce. You can even make them a CD if they prefer those to playlists.

If you can’t afford gifts for their birthday or for holidays, make something thoughtful. For instance, you could write out all the things you like about them on slips of colored paper and put it in a jar.

Also, for many series like Harry Potter, there are local trivia nights or library events. See if you can find things like this to surprise them with. It will show that you pay attention to them and care about the things they are interested in.

Try to offer help before you are asked.
