oh, ok… but what about sex, or… sacrifice? Sacrificing something of yours for someone else is the best way I can think of to show love. Sacrificing time, money, whatever it is For the other person. Sacrificing comfort. Sex is, of course, another great way to show love. It is the most intimate act one can do.
also, I’d be mad is someone who claimed to love me ‘let me win’ that just means they’re lying to me… no thanks.

usually calmer, you’re right sacrifice would have been an easier way to say things. Though most people will take the tips as way to say I love you in a sexual way, these tips are for ALL relationships. If you let a child win – it’s a joy to see the smile on their face.

I don’t think “Let them win” means ‘I love you’. ‘Sing’ sounds like ‘Show off’.
Where is ‘Give ecstasy’? Or has everyone heart grown so hard that sex is always about taking not giving?
Where is ‘Be vulnerable’?

Duly noted. These tips are for all relationships, not just sexual ones. If you have kids and let them win in a board game you’ll understand. Thanks

You are a sad, sad person. Why do you refuse comments that are not 100% positive? or is it because they included the dirty word secx? you have my e-mail address. Please, let me know why you deleted mine and Ecclesiastes.
LOVE is shown by grace. It is shown by sacrifice, by vulnerability. Why do you refuse this?

Also, I just woke up recently. It’s still 6AM in Hawaii, I didn’t delete your comment. It’s probably just a caching error. I’m sorry for that.

I agree with all of these. As a mom of four small children there are times that you let them win to help them build self esteem. I mean, I can always beat my 4 year old at tic tac toe but I don’t because to watch her win and to see her have confidence in herself is priceless. There are more relationships out there that involve love than that between a significant other. Friends, children, family…all of these require love. Great ideas!

It always amazes me to see negative comments on something like this. Of course there are a million ways to say I love you. Here are just 20, by someone who owns this blog. Their ideas. Their expressions. Calm down people.

Shelley… Thank you so much for your kind words! I wrote this post to convey the idea that showing that you love someone is easy. I’m sure everyone has their own way of showing love, I would love to hear them.

jdrew,
Of course not silly! The best list is one that works for you. What works for you? Can you please share?
reply to this comment
June 1st, 2008, 9:03 am
it’s not that they’re not “good things” they’re just cliques – and romance has to be energetic and creative. Spontaneous and exciting. This just makes love seem easy and plain that’s all
reply to this comment
June 1st, 2008, 10:04 am
In a way you’re right. Love is so different to so many. I see an old and frail couple that walks down the street everyday to get groceries and it’s amazing because they hold each other so tenderly, it’s touching. I’m sure their relationship is not as spicy (getting busy) as it once was but who are we to say they are not MORE in love?
What works for one couple does not necessarily work for another. While some want trips around the world – others will want to stay at home. What spontaneous and exciting things are you thinking of?

Letting the girl win is the best thing you can do especially if its something you want her to keep playing .
Ive noticed the games I dont let my girl win at she hated and the ones where we are a team or i let her win she loves.

This helped me remember the first girl i ever loved and how i feel about her still (good feeling.) This also helped me so I can change my feelings, attitude, and emotions toward her. I will tell her what I really feel and tell her that….”I Love Her”…Thanks for the tip.
