More Than Words Can Say
I came across a list of 50 ways to say I love you. It seems to me that merely uttering the three simple syllables would be much easier, but what do I know? Here are my thoughts on a few items from the list.
- Place a single daisy on the windshield - What does this mean? If I went to my car and saw a daisy on the window, I would ask myself, “Who drove through a daisy patch with my car?” Or I might wonder, “Someone has a hit out on me and this is the warning.” If I was able to somehow trace this to my spouse, I would wonder, “Was this purchased? We don’t have any daisies. I wonder if it was stolen off the neighbors yard.” Or, I would think, “Was I not worth 2 daisies? Maybe I would at least be worth a single rose.”
- Slip a Hershey kiss into your spouse’s pocket - Great idea! Why not try an ice cream sandwich? Both melt and make a huge mess.
- Call your spouse’s mother and father and tell them that they created a wonderful child - As a parent, if I received that call I would assume that I would soon be in the middle of a missing-person search.
- Create a screensaver that declares your love - Do you ever get annoyed when you see someone’s screensaver or background image and notice a mangy mutt? Now imagine that you look at your coworker’s screen and notice some sappy love phrase or love image from a spouse. Gag.
- Spoon - I don’t think I will comment on this one.
- Keep a scrapbook of your love - Or this one. I am not exactly sure what this means.
- Find creative places to write I Love You: in whipped cream on a slice of pie, carved into the side of an apple, in the steam on the bathroom mirror - Again, this would only startle me and make me wonder where the romantic Frenchman was hiding.
Any other great ways to say I love you without actually saying it?

Meet her at the door wearing nothing but Saran Wrap.
This also works well against door to door magazine and perfume salespeople.

We’re not very romantic. It’s kind of like one more day without divorce papers is one more day we express our love.

Technically, you should be doing that anyway. Everyday when you go to work aren’t you doing it to support your family because you love them?
I think it’s more of avoiding things that can be interpreted as actions of dislike or indifference…
if that makes any sense…
kisses on the forehead are cute though if you just mean loving gestures.

these are definately some lame ones i must say the chocolate in the pocket is stupid- it will be washed and dryed and end up all over everything. how about the good old fashioned “i love you”

Put the toilet seat down, do the dishes & take out the garbage. It’s usually a hit.

According to my husband, all I have to do is take my clothes off every time we are alone and I never have to say those words again. Or any words, for that matter.
