10 alternatives to “I love you”

Person 1: I love you.

Person 2: I can’t do this. I am not ready

Person 1: I love you

Person 2: Too late. I waited for too long to hear these words.

Person 1:I love you

Person 2: Oh my god me too!

Person 1: Let’s get married.

Person 2: Hold your horses. I love you but getting married is different.

These three words carry weight and meaning especially in romantic situations. Arguably, they mean different things to different people.

I: Me, my body, my mind, my soul, my heart, my ego, who I think I am. Wait who am I? Who knows?

Love: Impossible to define, but something around caring, attaching, addiction, accepting someone, can be healthy or unhealthy. Who knows?

You: Your body, what I project on you, the fantasies I have about you, how you make me feel, your personality, your being, your presence, your values. Who knows?

Confusing right?
