Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate the special people in your life. It is important to tell them how you feel. But maybe you feel anxious about expressing yourself.
In honor of this February 14 holiday, here are fourteen phrases to help!
Did you just meet someone? Or maybe you have new feelings for a friend? You are probably feeling very close to them. Perhaps you even want to improve your flirting
skills. The following phrases should be useful.
This sentence may seem awkward for non-native speakers who are worried about the literal translation of the word crush. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you are squashing anyone! It means you have strong attraction to another person. Use this idiom to express your recently discovered emotions.
Here’s another funny sounding idiom. Are you constantly losing your balance when you use this phrase? Probably not. Your feelings are just growing deeper, very quickly.
Now, you have been dating someone for a while. Do you want to express your deep affection for them but need some guidance? Use these phrases to add some passion to your romance.
This is an idiom that puts a little drama into the language! You won’t stop breathing from loving someone, but love may feel like that sometimes!
Just like the GIF shows, you may feel like doing flips when you are in love. Instead, just use this popular idiom to show how you feel.
Here’s a popular phrase that measures all the love you have for someone against the distance between the moon and earth. No wonder you can find it (or other versions) in so many love songs throughout the decades!
This type of love comes after some time. The following phrases describe the deep connection you have with your partner. Use them to communicate your unfailing dedication to your love.
Comparing the worth of the entire globe to the love you have for someone can be very powerful. With this idiom, you do exactly that! Be sure to say it only to someone who is a meaningful part of your life.
Who can forget this iconic moment in the movie Jerry Maguire? Jerry (Tom Cruise) reveals his love for Dorothy (Renée Zellweger) in a dramatic speech. She responds, equally emotionally. Watch the conversation with the link below:
