to fall in love |
|
To fall in love means a whole lot more than to love. To love someone is great, but to fall in love means you just can’t live without someone! Remember – don’t tell your girlfriend/boyfriend “I’m falling in love with you” too soon. It’s better to wait until you really know.

Love at first sight |
|
We’ve all seen this in romantic movies, it might even have happened to some of us. Love at first sight when two people fall in love immediately, the first time they see each other. If you believe this, then you’re a true romantic!
|
|
I love you |
|
A phrase used to express to another person the maximum level of love you feel for them
|
|
Love makes the world go round |
|
Some people think that money makes the world go round. But for true romantics, love is the most important thing in life. You can say “He/she makes my world go round” if you want to tell people that you really love your partner.
|
|
Your better half |
|
This refers to your partner. Some people say ‘my other half’ – but saying ‘my better half’ shows a bit more respect to your partner and implies that he or she makes you a better person.
|
|
The light of my life |
|
The light of your life is the person who makes you smile, and feel great! You could also say to your loved one, “Darling, you light up my life”.
|
|
She drives me crazy! |
|
Love makes people do strange things! If somebody drives you crazy, they make your heart beat faster and you find them really attractive. For example, “You’re crazy about Amy, why don’t you ask her out?”
|
|
Perfect match |
|
Have you found your perfect match? Your perfect match is exactly that – the person that matches you perfectly in every way. We also use the expression ‘soul mate’. Sometimes people use the expression ‘the one’ to say that a person is the one perfect partner in the world for them.
|
|
Seeing, Dating, Going steady |
|
When you first start going out with someone, you don’t want to seem too serious. You might say “I’m seeing someone”. After a while, you begin ‘dating’ them. Finally, you are ‘going steady’ with them. This means that you are officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
|
|
You are too good to be true! |
|
You say this to someone if you think they are so amazing they can’t be real. Sometimes, being in love is like a dream and you could also say “You are like a dream come true”.
|
|
Significant other |
|
This is a modern way to refer to your partner or lover in the third person. So you could say to someone “Can I bring my significant other to the party?”, but you wouldn’t way to your partner “Honey, you are my significant other.”
|
|
It was love at first sight |
|
Most relationships develop and get stronger over time, but sometimes all it takes is one moment to know you’re in love. When it’s love at first sight, the attraction is instant. Maybe it’s because of the way they look, or the way they talk and smile. Whatever it is, you know you’re hooked and you’ll do everything to get to know this person more.
This may be an old-fashioned way to express your love, but it still works!
|
|
You’re my soul mate |
|
In a world where there are 7 billion people, what are the chances of finding someone who compliments your personality, understands your thoughts, and enjoys the same things as you? In English, a “soul mate” refers to a person who is your perfect match in every way possible. There can be a religious element to this statement, but not always. It can just be that you think they’re pretty much flawless.
|
|
Let’s go steady |
|
Asking someone to go steady with you means you’re over the getting-to-know-you stage and are now ready to be in an exclusive relationship with them. It’s another way of saying that after spending some time with them and getting to know more about them, you are now ready to commit to the relationship and go beyond just sending each other funny emojis. Some might say this phrase is slightly dated (ok it’s true, my grandma may have used this as well), but I personally still find it really endearing and would say it.
|
|
You rock my world |
|
This is a fun and playful way to tell someone how much joy and excitement they bring to your life. Rocking someone’s world means you turned their otherwise boring and routine life into a more exciting and colourful one. If your loved one helped you regain purpose and a new zest for life, this is the perfect phrase to let them know exactly how much they’ve made an impact on your life.
|
|
You make the world go round |
|
When a person becomes an essential part of your daily life, and your decisions and considerations include them, they start to “make your world go round”. When you tell someone that, it means having them in your life has had a positive and meaningful impact.
It could also mean that they’re the reason why you wake up with a smile in the morning, why you are able to get through your struggles, and why you can sleep peacefully at night. When you feel that they are the one, you can say this phrase to let them know how truly important they are.
|
|
I’m falling in love with you |
|
Nothing is more romantic than realising that you have strong feelings for someone and that you’re ready to let them know. Exposing your real emotions can be scary – what if they don’t feel the same? That’s why saying this phrase for the first time is a big move. If your partner loves you as much as you love them, hearing these words will bring both of you to a new place in your relationship.
