Happy Valentine’s Day!

Writers love to get creative with words so in the spirit of the holidays, let’s look at a bunch of different ways to say I Love You. I’m not talking about different actions that you can take or loving gifts you can give or things you can write for Valentine’s Day. I’ve covered those in other posts. I’m talking about playing with language and the use of synonyms and adjectives to creatively say “I love you”.

  • I love you.
  • I’m enamored of you.
  • I adore you.
  • I’m passionate about you.
  • I’m in love with you.
  • I get excited by you.
  • I feel deeply about you.
  • I have a lot of affection for you.
  • I’m feeling amorous towards you.
  • I’m absolutely enchanted by you.
  • I’m head over heels for you.
  • I get turned on by you.
  • I feel attached to you.
  • I relish being with you.
  • I cherish you.
  • I worship you.
  • I feel warm and fuzzy inside because of you.
  • I’m mad for you.
  • I’m truly delighted by you.
  • I have a hankering for your love.
  • I’m ardently interested in you.
  • I feel intrigued by you.
  • I admire you.
  • I feel the earth shake because of you.
  • I am drawn to you.
  • I am captivated by you.
  • I have fallen for you.
  • I long for you.
  • I yearn for you.
  • I delight in you.
  • I have it bad for you.
  • I give my heart to you.
  • I treasure you.
  • I think the world of you.
  • I value you.
  • I’m smitten with you.
  • I, like, totally dig you.
  • I’m hot for you.
  • I’m nuts about you.
  • I’m wild for you.
  • I’m really serious about you.
  • I have intense emotions about you.
  • I take you into my heart.
  • I’m crazy about you.
  • There are no words to describe how much I care about you.

Of course, writers are picky about their words. Not all of these things specifically mean “I love you”. Make sure that you use the words you really mean with the people you love today!

  1. You forgot “You complete me” from Jerry MacGuire. :P

    It’s funny how many ways we find to avoid actually using the word love. I’m not sure we’re being creative or just avoiding the towering expectations that go with the word!

    @ Lindsay … Great point. For me it’s different. I’m really liberal with my use of the word – if I feel a sense of love towards friends or love in the moment for someone, I usually just blurt it out. So for me there are actually certain phrases that mean something far more with individual people than the standard “I love you” means. But I definitely get your point and think that it’s true on some level. But of course you had me at hello. :)

    when you love someone words hardly matter but the one who denies using the word love i think he is not sure about whether he loves that person or not.
    One word “love” itself is expressive than any other phrases.
