Ok, so we’ve talked about How To Break Up. We’ve talked about How To Ask Her Out on a Date. We’ve even talked about How to Nourish a Healthy Sex Life after you’ve been at it for a while…but there is one topic that we haven’t touch on just yet…How to tell her you love her.

Telling a Woman you love her is probably one of the hardest things you will do in your life. Harder than your taxes, harder than you SATs, heck, harder than the freakin’ MENSA entrance exam. You’re going to want it to be perfect, and you’re going to want to make sure that she remembers it. Chances are you will put way too much time into thinking about it. Here are some tips to help you get out there and lay it all on the table…

Think Before You Act

“I love you” is something you can’t take back. Especially if you’re one of those guys who’s been playing the role of “the best friend” for a while, and it’s eating you alive inside. If you’ve been dating for a while, this entire thing is going to be slightly easier, but if you’re that guy that has been secretly in love with a girl and is fixing to lay it all on the line…you need to remember…there is no turning back.

Make sure you are ready to take this step, and that you are ready for any possible negative consequences that may result from your actions.

*note* if you have to drink before you can muster up the courage to tell her…then you shouldn’t be doing it. If you can’t tell her sober, you can’t tell her period.

Plan for the Best, Prepare for the Worst

I don’t mean that to sound overly negative or pessimistic. What I mean is that when you attempt to set up a romantic plan or event, it doesn’t always go according to your original plan…so have a back up. Be prepared to think on your feet if your well laid scenario has a few hiccups in it.

In your preparations there are some die hard DOs and DON’Ts to live by…

    DON’T watch a bunch of John Hughes movies, or that car scene from Chasing Amy before you plan this.

    DON’T copy down lines from a movie or stand outside a woman’s house with a Jukebox over your head in the rain (unless she’s really into that sort of thing)

    DO think about what you want to say, and how you want to say it. Do you want to say “I love you”. “I’m in love with you.” “I think I’m falling in love with you…” figure out what you think is going to work best.

    DO look her in the eyes. If you are about to tell her the most important words that you will ever say to her, then you need to be looking her in the eyes with a confident self image. If you want to win, you have to think like a winner :)

Don’t Wait Too Long

No one waits forever, fella. If you have feels inside that you can’t shake…if you can’t stop thinking about her, and you don’t think you’ll be able to sleep again until she knows the truth…then just tell her. Living with all of that bottled up inside forever is a terrible feeling, and you have to let it out.

If you don’t tell her…chances are, she’ll never know.
