You have fallen in love with your boyfriend, but you're not sure how to let him know.Being in love is exciting, but telling your boyfriend that you love him can be nerve-racking, and you may not know how to proceed.Finding the best time, place and way to say those three magic words is the trick to telling him the right way.The easiest way to say "I love you" to your boyfriend is through these steps.
Step 1: You're in love.
Before you say "I love you", you need to make sure you mean it.Do not do it if you don't mean it. How do you know if what you're feeling is love?If nothing feels as good as it does when you're with your significant other, that is a sign that you are truly in love.He can make you feel amazing for who you are, if he has a way of putting you at ease.If you can't imagine your future without him.You can be yourself around him.You should be realistic about who your boyfriend is.This is a sign that you may be in love if you are able to accept his flaws instead of thinking he's perfect.
Step 2: Consider his feelings.
Though you're not a mind reader, you may have a sense that he loves you, or you wouldn't tell him such a big news.You won't know if he loves you until you tell him, but there are a few things you can do to get a better sense of how he feels.He may be falling for you if he says that he's never met a person like you and that you are amazing.He always wants to be around you if he can't keep his hands off of you.It's easy to confuse the two if he is feeling love and lust.He may be falling for you if he's addicted to your mind and your personality and not just your body.If he stares at you with a sweet expression.Bonus points if he turns away when you catch him.
Step 3: The news should be delivered to the right place.
Though the place you chose won't affect how your boyfriend feels about you, it could help you deliver your message in a way that makes him feel more comfortable.The right place can help set the mood.Pick a place that is special to both of you.It could be the spot where you had your first date, or the place you kissed for the first time.It doesn't have to be romantic if it means something to you.Pick a place that is romantic.Tell him at a restaurant or a garden.Picking a public spot can make the situation more difficult if it doesn't go as you planned.You're going for a walk and you need to tell him.Take a stroll through the neighborhood.Inform him when it feels right.Tell him when you're on vacation.It's the perfect time to take your love to the next level.
Step 4: It's a good idea to tell him at the right time.
Picking the right time to tell your boyfriend you love him can help him be more receptive to your news, and help you feel more comfortable about delivering it.Pick a time when both of you are free from stress and in a good mood.If he has a big exam the next day, don't tell him you love him.Tell him in the evening.In the dark, everything is more romantic.You should tell him at a time when you feel good.It has to be the right time for you as well.
Step 5: Start by using the right body language.
Before you say a word, your body and face should tell your boyfriend how you are feeling.Let him know that something is about to happen with the right gesture and look.Keeping eye contact is one of the things you can do.You should not be too intense when looking at him.Make him feel important.Turn your whole body towards him.Let him know that he has your full attention.Touch him lightly.Rub his back, or put your hand on his knee.
Step 6: Tell him you love him.
There's no more holding back now that you have all your ducks in a row.The time is right for you to share your feelings.You can make him feel comfortable by making small talk or laughing, but cut to the chase.Relax.Before you tell him the news, take a deep breath.Once you tell him, you'll be relieved.Don't be afraid to be direct.Don't beat around the bush.Love is a serious matter, but you can be cute or funny later.Say, "I want you to know that I love you."You can say, "I've fallen in love with you."Don't look away when you say it.You can show him your commitment by looking in his eyes.
Step 7: Wait for his response.
Let him say something after you've given him your big news.Remember that you just told him something important, and that he needs some time to think about it.In the best-case scenario, he will tell you that he shares your feelings and that you have been waiting to hear how he feels.He could say that he is overwhelmed and needs some time to think about it.He will tell you that he didn't think your relationship was serious, which is the worst-case scenario.Don't despair if this happens.You will work through it.
Step 8: It's appropriate to react appropriately.
Your effort doesn't stop after you tell your boyfriend that you love him.You have to know what to do next after he tells you how he feels.If he tells you he shares your feelings, hug him, and kiss him.Give him time to think about what you said.Don't get upset.You should respect that he needs more time to make a decision and not ask him any questions.If he says he doesn't share your feelings, that's fine.This probably won't happen if you're sure about your feelings and certain about him.If it does, be proud of yourself for doing something brave and moving on.
