Once you're in a relationship, your significant other is probably what you think about most of the time.
You wonder about their day or how they're doing. You also probably wonder if you're on their mind, too.
Whether you've been in a relationship for one week or six months, there isn't a perfect time to say that first, " I love you." There are plenty of other ways to let your significant other know you totally like them without saying those three little words that hold a lot of meaning.
Maybe you're more of the mushy gushy type when it comes to your relationship – you call him boo bear and he calls you snuggles. Or maybe you're more low key about your relationship and only really show you affection for each other in private. Regardless of the type of couple you are, it can sometimes be hard to find the right words to say to your crush. You want to tell him you really, really like him without him thinking you're falling too fast.
There is no exact science to telling your significant other how much you like them; the way you go about telling them should come from the heart in that moment.
Whether it is over text or face-to-face, here are 10 quotes to say to your significant other if you want them to know how much you adore them without saying those three little words.
"Let's get food," isn't one, but you could totally send that to your significant other, too.
