23 Alternate Ways To Say "I Love You" This Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and something is in the air. Is it love? Nope. Is it chocolate? I wish. Is it racial and political tension? Somewhat, but that’s nothing new. It’s predominately pressure; pressure to either live up to the expectations of your partner, or to dutifully ignore your singleness and resist the urge to buy another cat. Pressure can cause people to say things they don’t mean, like “your mother is a lovely woman,” “that’s probably not herpes,” or “I love you.” This Valentine’s Day, don’t cave to the pressure and throw important words around willy-nilly. When you’re looking into your less-than-beloved’s eyes, choose one of these alternate way to share your feelings without dropping the L bomb before you’re ready.
