Three little words can be the hardest part of any relationship, “I love you.” They can be the make or break of any relationship.
The majority of us, as college women, have heard the words “I love you.” If you have not, it likely will not be far off. It can cause fluttering eyelashes and unsettled nerves in the same moment, but either way it is definitely exciting.
Whether it is said at the right time or blurted out can be a deciding factor in the return. Careful consideration of both partners’ needs can help in your decision to say “I love you.”
The spontaneous personality can have a unique way of saying “I love you.” When I love you comes freely and with an open heart back to a significant other, the words may be so deeply felt and embedded in the heart that she does not need to think about it, they just roll off the tongue.
With the same turn of hand, I love you can come sincerely from the heart of a thinker personality, who does not feel comfortable to say it from the brink of the moment or the turn of an eye. The right timing and setting can be essential for this person to be able to deliver the line and have the best experience.
Both the free spirit personality and the thinker can have a successful relationship with the right person when I love you comes from the heart, and with sincerity. “I love you” can be said from the wallet, hormones, or the pressure of peers and family.
Valentine’s Day can put a false weight on the need of a relationship to progress or to make a commitment. Holidays should not stress a relationship but withstand it and enjoy it for what it is, a holiday.
Whether you feel it is the right time to say I love you or feel it is down the road, follow what is deep in the heart and nothing else.
