Much has been discovered about the art of communication but there are a few things I would like to teach you about how to say I love you.
People who enjoy listening to others saying nice things about them often feel they are loved but according to how to say I love you, what you say is much less important than HOW you say it.
Research has identified the following percentages that you must know for how to say I love you:
7% of communication are the specific words you use, 38% is your tone and intonation, and a major 55% is attributed to your body language.
Can you now see that when saying love, even to someone who likes to hear it, may have less impact than if you really knew how to say I love you?
Here are a few tips for you, on how to say I love you, for the next time you are going to say it.
Present with an open persona to show you are receptive by having your legs and arms uncrossed and your palms are facing your love.
How to say I love you needs the following as well.
Maintain eye contact with your eyes softly focused on your lover but avoid intense staring. If your eyes are looking somewhere else or dart about the room, it gives the impression that you are not interested.
To show positive feelings you must have soft facial expressions, such as an easy smile.
Tone and intonation has to be easy, warm, and comforting to put your partner at ease.
A kinesthetic or “touchy/feely” person feels closer when you keep a light touch on their body as you express love.
To really know how to say I love you keep the next points in mind.
Keep your partner’s need for personal space in mind during communication, most people need it while others enjoy being close.
A much needed part of communication is the art of listening as this is as necessary as your speaking.
A communication skill set called Active Listening teaches you to repeat back what you just perceived from your partner. This exercise forces you to pay close attention and not let your mind disengage trying to formulate a response while someone is talking. This can be strange for the receiver at first so it is best to explain what you are doing.
Use all these ways to develop your knowledge of how to say I love you and watch your relationships flourish.
