8 Cute Ways to Say ‘I Love You’ to Your Partner (Without *Actually* Saying It)

When you’re in a relationship, you always want to give the best to your partner. You want them to feel how much you love them. Saying the words “I love you” is like a magic spell… at first. But after saying the same three words over and over again, sometimes you just wanna mix things up. What if we told you there are other ways to say it without uttering a word? Here are some gestures you can do to show your partner how you feel.

Cook them their favorite meal

For sure, you already have an idea of your partner’s favorite food. Now’s your chance to become their very own personal chef for a day! If you’re afraid of things going south, the internet’s always there to guide you every step of the way. 

Take them on a surprise getaway

Forget about popular destinations for a second, just go pack your bags and explore somewhere unknown together. Before you know it, you’ve both made amazing memories at a new favorite holiday spot. 

Give them a big, warm hug

Hugs may seem no-frills to some, but countless studies have shown it’s a great mood booster. You can hug your partner while they’re cooking or sitting on the couch. Plus, you don’t need a special occasion to do it!

Write them cute messages or love notes

Some may think writing love messages are old-fashioned, but they’ll always be a classic staple of expressing affection. You can write corny jokes, pick-up lines, or reference iconic rom-com flicks. Don’t get too concerned about what to say, and feel free to make your notes cheesy. 

Have an impromptu picnic

Going on a picnic allows you to breathe in some fresh air and let go of stress. You and your partner can enjoy food while admiring the romantic view. Take it as a time to have a heart-to-heart conversation, away from unnecessary distractions. It can be a local park or the backyard garden of your own home. 

Give them flowers

Always a classic! But remember, your flower bouquet doesn’t always have to be from the most expensive flower shop. You can even get flowers from the grocery! Choose blooms that you know your S.O. likes – if you don’t know their favorite flower, take your cues from their favorite colors. Then, mix flowers with stuffed toys, chocolates, or a heartfelt love letter to make your bouquet more unique. 

Make them a playlist

Speaking of songs, the best thing about taking the time to know your partner is discovering things, like their favorite tunes. Well, this is your sign to put that info to good use and make a playlist. If you’re feeling extra romantic, maybe you can sing and record one of their favorite songs.  

Give them a relaxing massage

Bring out the towels and massage oils! After a long day, reward your partner with a soothing massage. You can add some candles and scatter rose petals to make the atmosphere more romantic. To top it off, play calming music in the background as you work your magic.
