Just say it in sign language.

I don't really think you should say it any other way than straight out. Can be misleading and cause doubt. Signaling it with a name seems kind of... I don't know, covert, like an affair.

Do you not feel comfortable saying it?

"Out of all of the fish in the sea, you are the only one for me." =) Ha ha ha.

If you truly mean it, there's no reason why you should hide your feelings from him. Just come out and say it... don't be afraid. If you're worried about him not feeling the exact same way about you, don't. Even if he's not comfortable with saying it back, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like you and care about you, so as long as you get it off of your chest, that's really all that matters, right? I mean, if he asks you to not say it anymore, then you should expect his wishes, but there's nothing wrong with saying it once, right? Who knows... he might say it back to you!

But, if you're not sure whether you actually love him or not, then don't say it. I don't know how you two feel about it, but I don't say those words unless I really, truly mean them, and I wouldn't want someone to say them to me and not feel as if they really mean it. So, if you don't feel that way, find another way to express how you care about him... tell him he means a lot to you and you really love having him in your life.

An image? I remember I once used a game I found online where you could write to apologize to a friend. And then I print screened it. (:

Think of something that means something special to the two of you; that reminds you of an event in your relationship or something.

That doesn't seem like a very healthy relationship to me. I mean unless you were telling him you loved him literally every 5 seconds it shouldn't bother him. But maybe that's just the kind of guys I pick. Mine says it more than I do honestly. Maybe try talking to him and finding out why it annoys him? If that doesn't work ask him what wouldn't annoy him.

Have you guys even been together long enough for you to be head over heals in love? :/

I think she means have you been together long enough to know all of his flaws and nuances, or do you love what you know on the surface?

seems like you should know how to talk to him better than a bunch of people who have never met him.

I'm 22 and I can act like a little kid at times. There are instances when I'm very serious, but other times I'm playful. I mean...if you're not saying ''I love you'' every 2 seconds he shouldn't be botheredO.o

And if you two have differences about nicknames...it just seems like an odd match.

I don't know about nicknames...Nicknames I choose for people I know them for a little bit for and it's not something others can choose for me.

Hm, my boyfriend and I usually call each other 'honey', he sometimes calls me 'cutie' - and that's about it for nicknames in my long distance relationship. (We also say we love each other but that's 1-2 times a day)

If you love someone, and they think it's annoying for you have have little pet names for them... maybe the feeling isn't mutual? :/

Uhh, if you can't say the actual thing to him you really shouldn't be saying anything at all.

Or is that not the point of the question?
