Saying to someone I love you is a confirmation of your feelings to him or her. It is like icing on the cake. The element that proves your love is deep and real. After some time in the relationship we eagerly await the moment when we are going to say or be said these magic words. It is really interesting how we are fixated to these three little words. I am no exception to that either.

However, I must admit that I voted yes because saying I love you is overrated and said many times without really meaning it. Remember the end of a phone call between husband and wife in movies. They always end it with the words I love you and you can almost feel the artificiality in these words. Then the words are really superfluous and very irritating. There are so many ways of expressing your feelings, emotions. But, we all like to hear these three little words. Maybe we are comforted and reassured that our partner is there for us with the same feeling and that provides us with happiness.

Women seem to be those who say it more and who want to hear this more. That is my opinion. Rarely do I hear a man in a movie or a book to be the first to acknowledge his love. They find it very difficult to say it. Maybe this will prove that they have succumbed to the emotions. But, there are still men and women who will say it openly.

You can always sense it when somebody means it for real. The expression on his face will show you what he really thinks. If you talk over the phone, the intonation of his voice is also a good sign of what he really thinks and feels. Forcing someone to say it to you is not a good idea.

Somehow, the repetition of these words becomes useless. If you insist so often that someone tells you that, you will find yourself in an awkward situation. You want love, but loves comes in so many different forms, words and acts. There are so many ways of expressing your love. You can try it and you will see that it really works. People are maybe afraid of losing it so that maybe the reason why they want to hear these words so often.

We can always feel if we have gone too far by repeating it over and over. But love is so kind and gentle and it will forgive us that. As long as it is true and affectionate love.

Finally, it depends on you as a couple whether you like it saying too much and too often. If you like it that way, keep on saying it. It is your life after all. But, do find other ways of showing your love as well. It will only spice up your love.
