Being enamored of something or with someone goes far beyond liking them, and it's even more flowery than love. Enamored means smitten with, or totally infatuated.
We all give and receive love in 5 different ways: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. These are called 'love languages' - a concept created by Dr. Gary Chapman through his long-time work as a marriage counsellor.
Love is something that is cultivated between two people and grows over time, through getting to know him or her and experiencing life's many ups and downs together. It involves commitment, time, mutual trust, and acceptance.
Some words to use are: You make me feel like I can be the person I've always wanted to be. You inspire me to get out of my own way and push myself into exploring things I only dreamed about. You make me feel like I am taking steps every day towards being a better person.
How do you tell him you have strong feelings for him?
Just tell him directly.
Sometimes, simple is best. You could just go for it. "Be completely upfront and tell him how you feel about him," recommends relationship coach Niki Davis-Fainbloom. Follow it up by explaining exactly what you like about him and what you want to do about it, she says.
I have looked at you in a million ways and loved you in each. Thinking of you always, my dear. You lift me up and hold me down, you make me smile when I'm feeling down. You bring me peace, you bring me gifts, you're the person I'm most happy to share my life with.
Tell him what you're thankful for, and speak up when he goes above and beyond for you! "You're always so calm and thoughtful with me, and that's what I love about you." "I know you truly love me because of all the sacrifices you've made. Thank you for always being there for me."
The sign for “I love you” is a combination of the fingerspelled letter I, L and Y. Your thumb and index finger together form an L, while your little finger forms an I. In addition, your thumb and little finger is expressing a Y. So if you combine all three handshapes, you get I-L-Y for I love you.
You'll know that you love someone because you genuinely enjoy spending time with them and caring for them, which is different from liking someone simply because they make you feel better about yourself, says Miller.
