ps123 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm guessing I'm not the only one out there with this problem.... I've been dating someone about 5 months. I've learned over the years to not throw the word love around lightly so I have to be absolutely sure I love someone before I'll say it to them. So along comes Valentines Day and now I'm stuck. How should I sign the card? I like her a lot but I think I can say I'm not in love with her yet (it takes me a while... long story). Shes signed cards to me with Love, (her name). My friend said that I shouldn't sign it love if I don't mean it and that maybe me just signing my name would get it out there that I'm not to that point with her yet. I don't think that Valentines Day is the right time to try to make a point like that or anything though. I'm guessing that just signing my name would hurt her feelings which I don't want either. I debated on just getting flowers with no card at all, but I thought that would be kind of tacky and a cop out, and I think she might guess why I did it too. Another friend said that I should sign it, "Your, (my name)". I was thinking of maybe signing it with "Your," and then putting a few of her nicknames for me in there. I know I'm probably making too much of this, but... So, how do I sign it? Link to post Share on other sites
curiousnycgirl Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Does she have a sense of humor? If so how about instead of the word Love, use the word Lustfully? If not the phrase All the Best is a good substitute, or Fondly Link to post Share on other sites
peace_pipe Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How about... Will you be my valentine... think about it a bit... if you will that's okay.... if you won't, who gives a **** Link to post Share on other sites
Art_Critic Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 So, how do I sign it? Just your first name and that's it---- -Art Link to post Share on other sites
curiousnycgirl Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just your first name and that's it---- -Art No, No, No. If you think she is the type of woman who will obsess over the fact that you wrote love - then she will equally obsess over the lack of anything!

Touche Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I was going to say "fondly" as well. Fondly, ps123 Link to post Share on other sites

Star Gazer Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 "XOXO" or "Always" ...or "Lustfully" - that's cute. Link to post Share on other sites
MissTiss Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 how about "heart" then your name. You know, draw a heart then your name. It's not love, but it's not nothing. Does that make sense? Link to post Share on other sites
Art_Critic Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm a mushy kinda guy and if I had not said the " love " words to a woman yet and V-day comes around I would pick a slightly mushy card ( even if it uses the word love, that would be okay depending on the girl ) and just sign it with my first name.. That way the mush is there.. but I didn't write it.. so the girl doesn't think I'm trying to move to the next step... Just signing the first name keeps the line drawn as to where you are in the relationship.. ie: not wanting to move up to the next level yet , thereby not freaking anybody out...

latefragment Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 "Your [Her Pet Name For You], YourName" that is my vote. Seriously!!!! It's cute and affectionate. Do it! Link to post Share on other sites
WhyYouWanna Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just "Luv" ?? Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 "Be my Valentine! Kiss kiss, ps123" This is cute. how about "heart" then your name. You know, draw a heart then your name. It's not love, but it's not nothing. Does that make sense? If it's via text, it's this one: <3 That symbol always makes me laugh because it reminds me less of a heart and more of something else.

Author ps123 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks for all the replies/suggestions. I think I can come up with something from here. Yes, she has a sense of humor so Lustfully might work. Lustfully, (nick names) or Your (nick names) will probably work. I'm pretty sure she'd obsess over just my name so thats probably out. I'll come up with something using some things on here and let you know tomorrow what I used and how it worked. Link to post Share on other sites

AriaIncognito Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I know that if I never saw the word "love" in writing from my guy, and it came on the card, I would definitely read too much into it. I remembering doing it with my last ex. Never did he utter the words, he did write it that one time in the card though. I'd stick with something more playful. Hugs, XXX Kisses, XXX I would NOT do "fondly" that just feels too...i dont know, impersonal. I also wouldn't do sincerely. Link to post Share on other sites
4givrnt4gtr Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I would NOT do "fondly" that just feels too...i dont know, impersonal. I also wouldn't do sincerely. Definitely agree with that...Fondly or sincerily sounds like a business letter. I also agree with being playful, and using her petnames for you. My SO signed his name and in parenthesis put my (mean) nickname for him. I thought it was adorable and I didnt even think about the lack of "love". Link to post Share on other sites
