Maybe you should say it. Let it just 'slip' and if the response in undesirable, pretend you didn't realize you said it. Tell him it's a 'systematic response' or something you are so used to saying to your mom or brother or someone and then go from there.
You really should say it. But if you really want to cover it up, try saying it in a different language.
Saying it doesn't prove much; he could say it without meaning it, or do it without saying it, but if he doesn't show it, then he doesn't love you in any meaningful way.
You shouldn't be saying I love you in sixth grade, but if you want to tell your boyfriend it without actually saying it, then write him a note.
say that you really care about her
This is a masculine way to show affection, while saying goodbye on the phone without saying "I love you".
if your in the right moment and you say i really like you then that's easier then saying love
Thats for the 14 year old to answer. Only they can say whether they are in love. Love can be misinterpretted and they may see after that it wasnt love but the experience is what counts not saying if they are right or wrong in saying they are in love.
Saying you are in love is better, but don't rush into saying it
Well you could just be honest with her,say that you really really really love her and say "hey, i really love you and i think its time we go to a next level,you know wat im saying?"..just be confident :)
"You know how people say 'I love you' to each other? Well that's how you make me feel."
I just told my dad that... I'm not quite sure what to say. Sorry for saying that, I didn't really mean it, I love you?
technically yes. but it probably doesn't mean what you think it does. you are basically saying that you are bad at loving 'him'.
