Short love quotes and messages: The Do's and Don'ts

First, it can help to improve the quality of your relationship. Reassuring your partner that you care and think about him or her is a good way to keep your relationship strong and healthy. All it takes is a cute message to let your partner know you’re thinking of him or her, even when you’re not together.

Second, sending a text message gives you time to think about what you really want to say to your love. Hence, it gives you the opportunity to say things you wouldn’t necessarily say otherwise. You can, for example, take some time to think about a creative way to describe the relationship between you and your better half, or a cute way to tell your lover how he or she is special to you. Messages from the heart are the best.

Third, sending a cute message or love quote rather than calling can make it easier to express your true emotions to the person you love. Many people find it hard to say ‘I love you’ in person. It makes them feel vulnerable and weak (yet, in my opinion it takes strength to express your emotions). A cute love message can help you in this case: It’s still personal and direct enough to lighten up your relation. Of course, it can never completely replace saying ‘I love you’ face to face.

While there are plenty of other reasons to send your love a cute message or love quote, at the same time it is often hard to come up with a sweet or funny message. What to say and what not to say? How to make your love smile with a short message? For this article I analyzed the top-20 best rated and top-20 worst rated love text messages on textyourlove.com (spring 2013).

The Do’s for short love quotes and messages include:

1. Tell your love that he or she is special “If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you realize how special you are to me.”

2. Emphasize that you want to spend lots of time, or even the rest of your life, with him or her “If I had to choose between you or the world, I would choose you in a heartbeat because if I have you, you would be my world <3”

3. Use humor “Our relationship is like tom & jerry. We tease each other, chase each other, knock down each other, irritate each other but we cannot live without each other”

4. Just let your love know that you think about him or her “Tiny stars shining bright, it’s time for me to say goodnight. So close your eyes and snuggle up tight. I am wishing you sweet dreams tonight.”

5. Tell your love that you will do everything for him or her “Sometimes I wonder if love is worth fighting for. Then I think of you, I am ready for the war!”
