three big words

    Ok so, story is pretty simple, im in a longdiistance relationship and its going to be the end of may before we see each other again. Ive been with her since september and we spent nearly all our time together..... so I suppose im saying that we are committed to each other, now I never told her that I loved her, ive told her that I care about her etc. never actually used the word "love",
    So whenever im talking to her on the phone I really want to tell her "I love you" but im not sure if I should just hang on till I see her again or not.

    Its not that its a big, massive deal its just that its bothering me.... so any advice welcome.....and no Im sure that its not just the heart growing fonder in her absence :D

    Back in the day, letters were a big thing.
    Did you ever think of writing her one? It would be a lovely thing to receive, especially in these days as they are rarely done anymore.
    I'm betting she'd love it and when she's feeling down will probably read it again and again.

    Top idea Ruthie!

    Can't really top that OP to be perfectly honest. A text can do it too, but you can't fit in nearly enough.

    Wooo hooo! Yeah! I knew there were a few other oul' romantics out there. :D

    I had a girlfriend who spent 3 years away in college. We saw each other every couple of weeks and all through the holidays, so it wasn't so bad.

    We used to talk on the phone, email etc very regularly but whenever we wanted to make a special effort, a letter was written - And while the emails and phone calls are long faded memories, I can remember the lettersI got from her vividly.

    Go for it, write her a 'love letter' - It'll do the trick better than any phone call or email could ;)

    Some of mine were kept for years and years, very difficult to throw something like that away :)

    Yeah - I only got rid of them when I had some newer ones to replace them with :D
