Valentine’s Day is a day to express love. While some are uninhibited about expressing their love, others are more hesitant and may prefer a more indirect way to express their love. For instance, with a thoughtful gift. However, every once in a way, step away from your reservations and express your love with those three delightful words that can never fail to make your sweetheart happy.
Say It with a Kiss
Plant light kisses all over your lover’s face and whisper a soft “I love you” in his or her ears or say it with every kiss you plant. S/he will be smitten to be sure.
Say It with a Gaze
Look deep into his or her eyes. Right into it until you feel the connection deepening. Your heart beats are synchronized. When you finally say, “I love you”, it will be too late because s/he would have already heard it and felt it, not aloud, but heart to heart.
Say It with a Song
Do you and your lover have a favorite couple song? Sing it and dance to it. If you are still getting to know each other, find out his or her favorite song and start crooning. Did you hear a song that seems to have been written for the two of you? Belt it out loud and clear. Are you so inspired by your lover that you’ve penned some lyrics? Set it to a tune and let him or her hear it. There is no dearth of love songs, and if you feel apprehensive about saying “I love you”, singing a song is a less direct way of saying it and you still get the message across.
Say It with a Rose

And the rose has to be a deep, beautiful red. That goes without saying. A single, long stemmed rose or a bouquet of roses, whichever is your style, should let him or her know that it is love talking.
Say It with Icing
Bake a cake. If you lack culinary skills, take the help of someone who knows their way around the kitchen or follow a recipe. And then scrawl “I love you” on it. Your lover will be mighty impressed.
Say It with Petals
Another variation of the rose, except all you need are the rose petals and spell out “I love you” with it, on your bed, on a beach, on the dinner table, on the lawn, whatever works best for you.
Don’t Say It, Trace It
Play that game. Ask your sweetheart to close his or her eyes and trace words on their back and ask them to guess what you are tracing and watch them as they slowly but surely realize what you are getting at. There’s no way you can miss the big grin or a blush on their face.
Last but not the least, the best way to say it is with spontaneity and confidence. Nothing beats it.
