You found the right person. Someone who sets your heart on fire. You want to explain to them how much they mean to you. You want to do it and away that is spectacular. Memorable. An experience they will remember for the rest of their lives. How can you get it done? With a little bit of planning, you can create the perfect I love you date.
In this article, we take a look at how you can show someone what they mean to you in five easy steps.
Set expectations
No, this doesn’t mean, shooting your partner a text that says “Hey dress nice. Tonight I am planning on telling you something that rhymes with ‘My dove do.”
It does mean getting them excited for your special date. Without saying too much, let them know that you’re upcoming night out is important.
This will help set their expectations and give them something to look forward to.
Of course, once you set expectations, you need to live up to them. That’s what makes the next step so important.
Choose a Special Location
“Special” ultimately means something different for everyone. You might choose a location that has significance to you and your partner. Maybe the setting of a special early date, or even something that will remind your special someone of how you met.
Of course, if you met in an unappealing location, you might want to improve upon the setting. You can always set up a romantic scene at a new spot.
The location may not be significant now, but one special night can change that right?
Ultimately think about your partner before anything else. What will be special and interesting to them?
Once you have identified the right spot, you could work on dressing it up to suit the occasion. This could mean flowers. Decorations. Fairy lights. Your imagination is the only limit.
While photographs are not strictly necessary, you might think about ways you can make your location “Instagram worthy.”
No, you aren’t designing this experience for your social media feed, but thinking about the process through this lens can help inform your choices. What can you do to honor the permanence of this gesture? It may not live forever online, but it will hold a special spot in your partner’s heart for the rest of their life.
Plan the Date
The words themselves will, of course, be meaningful enough without any prelude. Still, why not enhance the experience for both of you by making your declaration of love the perfect exclamation point to an excellent evening out? Plan a date that the two of you can look back on fondly for years to come.
The ingredients for a special night will be different for every couple. You needn’t necessarily spend a lot of money. Sure a great meal can enhance the experience, but it doesn’t have to happen at a restaurant. You can buy dinner out, but you can also make your partner a special dinner, or even take them on a picnic.
The important thing is to cultivate an atmosphere of special occasion. Elevate the experience a little bit so that your partner understands that this is more than just a standard date.
Prepare Some Remarks
Ultimately the words “I love you,” will speak for themselves. That said it doesn’t hurt to take a little extra time to explain to this person how they are special. You love them yes, but what is it that makes them so loveable? Why does this person, one of eight billion, stand out as the star of your heart?
Don’t be afraid to get a little sappy. Most people won’t get tired of hearing why they are awesome.
Keep in mind, that you don’t have to be an incredible writer or a charismatic speaker to make this moment count. Speak from the heart. That’s what your partner wants.
Give them a token of your affection
No, your partner probably won’t storm off in a fit if you don’t hand them a gift while you bear your soul. Still, a small token of affection can enhance the overall experience. Not only will it reinforce the words you’ve said, but it will also give your partner a tangible reminder of what this evening was like. You don’t have to give them an expensive piece of jewelry or overpriced perfume.
