If you feel too shy to come right out and say "I love you " to your boyfriend or girlfriend's face , that 's okay. Wait till you are alone with each other , and after a soft , slow kiss , whisper it in their ear .You can also write it in note and slip it into their backpack or locker.

 But I strongly recommend saying it out loud , to their face . Everyone get a little nervous saying "I love you " for the first time- it comes with the territory . And hopefully ,you will be rewarded for all those butterflies in your stomach when they say the words back to you.
