When you are deeply in love with someone but struggle to find the right words it usually expressible in your field of interest. For example;

If you sum up all my actions of love towards you will release that they will almost surely be what you expected from love.

My feelings for you are so deep that even Kolmogorov could not formalize them.

OK, maybe the examples are bad but I would like to hear some love statements from your chosen field, that if the intended person understood would think you were Lord Byron of the 21st century.

Seeing as I am not yet a biologist (or whatever the hell I end up doing...) I'd use, "I love you". Possibly in a foreign language, for fun.
 
Meh, from photography (a hobby of mine) you could make up something comparing eyes to lenses...Corny as hell, I know.

Memorized all the lyrics of this :biggrin:
 
I've never seen that before Kurdt, but it's quite funny. Though... there aren't many girls who would understand it: my gf would just stare at me blankly if I showed her that!

She is just a wanderer with no destination,
And he is just a stop along her way.
Coming near him, she feels a strange attraction,
But it might not be enough to make her stay.

Every part of her is drawn to be near him,
It warps her world, this feeling is so vast!
Perhaps that's why he thinks the Earth revolves around him,
But as for her, she's moving much too fast...

It'll never last

[chorus]
Cause she is on a hyperbolic orbit;
No matter how she tries to bend, she knows the dance is going to end.
She is on a hyperbolic orbit,
And she won't be coming back his way again...

Poetry is such a wonderful way of expressing yourself. Women and men alike are quite flattered to receive such a personal gift made just for them. Here is one I gave to my love. I think he almost cried when I gave it to him. But actions supporting your poetry is the key to making someone feel loved. Good luck.

Daydreaming at night
aroused, enraptured with delight
the sweet, warm of your breath
distracted by thoughts it left
your body intensely close to mine
pushing against me harder each time
stripping me bare with longing eyes
Of course my love, my master; Your prize!
submit to every movement suggested
blood flushed cheeks and heavy chested
locks of hair round your fingers tightening
exposed, unyielding, yours for the liking
quelled in your waters, floating in the swell
in your ocean's waves, ringing bells
a stellar man, beautiful, strong and tall as the sky
skin tastes like honey, my lovely, I shall obied
kisses so soft yet so strong your hands
overpowering me with your silent commands
whatever you wish, my life, momentarily in your control
trust you unconditionally, my love for you whole.
eternity we have together with each breath
lifetimes, friendships, all put to the test.
every instance, I win; whatever is to come
I find I'm perfectly content, in your affection.

An Engineer's Valentine
by Matthew Dalton

I was alone and all was dark
Beneath me and above
My life was full of volts and amps
But not the spark of love

But now that you are here with me
My heart is overjoyed
You've turned the square of my heart
Into a sinusoid

You load things from my memory
Onto my system bus
My life was once assembly code
It's now like C++

I love the way you solder things
My circuits you can fix
The voltage 'cross your diode is
much more than just point six

With your op-amps and resistors
You have built my integrator
I cannot survive without you
You're my function generator

You've changed my world, increased my gain
And made my math discreet
So now I'll end my poem here
Control, Alt, and Delete

Me: I'll let you know later how you'll repay me for scrubbing the mildew off your shower curtain.
Him: You got the mildew off it?! I was just going to buy a new one.
Me: I was still going to get a new one, because it still smells like mildew.
Him: I don't smell anything. :confused:
Me: Oh, and I cleaned your shower drain too so it drains now. I'll show you how to do that yourself tomorrow.
Him: I know how to clean it!
Me: Well, it sure wasn't MY hair clogging it, I was only here a day and it wasn't draining. If I find a hardware store, I'll get a screwdriver that fits the screw better so it doesn't get stripped.
Him: Did you say something about screws and stripping? *starts rubbing my shoulders and kissing me*

Yep, that's love. :biggrin:

Leave it to a guy to bring up the Nantucket thing, lol...

And I must say a nice big rock will always be a good way to say "I love you "

You mean that's how she shows her love because mostly (I think) she'd rather use mr. happy to the point of wearing his paint off. Which really is another way for him to show his love for her: be accepting and in fact join her (read Laura Berman).

awww! that's so sweet! I don't understand it, but any intelligent girl will realize what you are trying to say! awww!
you could say: I want to be the zooxanthellae to your polyp; I will do my all to nourish you in our symbiotic relationship so that together we will grow to be a big tall colourful coral under the warm sun :D awww

I used to try to share in the hobbies of my dear Woman. She really liked to sew, so I once tried to stitch together little dolls that looked like us. Though, honestly, I can't do much more than attach my own buttons to my shirts, I still managed somehow--it was a labor of love!

Abdomens-->new, white cotton socks filled with cotton balls.

Arms and Legs-->fingers cut-off from a white gardening glove (also filled with cotton).

Heads-->a couple of those tomato pin cushions with some of the sand let out; then covered in the same white cotton sock material.

Eyes-->the rollie type you can glue on (brown for her, blue for me).

Mouths-->a single dolls eyelash each (for a happy smile).

Clothes-->gray felt pants for me, and a dress for her (same color, so we matched that way); also a little felt necktie for me, and a hat for her (she always wore her hat, and I usually wear a tie).

Velcro-->for the palms (so that the dolls could hold hands).

idiosyncratic accoutrements-->wire frame eyeglasses for each of us; a notebook for me (because I like to make notes), and a newspaper for her with the headline "Francis Loves Jayne" (because she always read the newspaper, and I worried she would ignore me). You can buy these sorts of things at a art supply store, and then personalize them, like I did.

I try. Really it sort of helps to talk about her. Lately, I've actually been trying to communicate with her family; but they're a little reticent.

Anyway, it's nobody's fault. She had ovarian cancer; and the chemo was hard.

more motivation for me to push harder to become a doc and help make advancements in the med field.

I think you're an amazing person. You posses a personal quality that few people have. I read your physical preference post as well in the other thread and you seem to be able to see past the simplest things that are such a big deal for the average person.

If only we could see beyond looks but then again with the emphasis society places on looks, it's not easy :frown:

That's very nice of you.:smile: And thank-you.

But the point I've been trying to make, really, is that I think anybody would feel the way that I have felt if they met that right person.

I didn't even like her when we were first introduced. She looked so pissed off (her father actually died that day), and I, naturally (idiot that I am), took it personally; and said to myself: well, I won't like you either.

But she just grew on me incredibly fast.

I remember the day I first realized how much I cared. It was around Christmas time 1997. We were part of a group that went into Manhattan to see a show. And as fate would have it, I got to walking beside her; and I suddenly felt that I liked being next to her. She got a little distracted somehow (not sure over what) but some guy walked right into her. I don't know what I said, but I think she started to feel as I started to feel at that moment.

Ways to tell someone you love them...


* Help them paint something, and then wash their hands.


* Remember to put band-aids on them.


* Go to Church, Synagogue, Mosque, or Temple with them (if they are religiously inclined), even if it isn't your denomination or belief. Look for the similar positive, unifying message in what they're doing. If they're an atheist, be a good example of your religion by giving them the respect you would also like yourself (and keep them company on your respective day of worship).

OTOH, William Blake advises caution ..

Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears--
Ah, she doth depart.

Soon as she was gone from me
A traveller came by
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh!

The ultimate test of love...Are you willing to clip their toe nails? Blow their nose? Clean them up when their sick? Wash them even? That's love.

That's love.

People laugh at things like that, but I think it does prove love, and me and my man do things like that for each other all the time.. If I see he's got a boogie, I'll get it for him, and it doesn't bother me one bit, and usually stuff like that makes me sick... But it's love, and we can't deny it... =]]

True, normally you don't do those sorts of things for your spouse. But you might eventually be asked to, when they get old. You are, in essence, also a parent to one another.

Yeah - I know of people who've had to do that for bed-ridden parents. One does what one has to do.

Caregiver/caretaker are other terms.
