First of all: be certain that it is possible This is the basis ! He is married ? She never calculated you despite your huge smiles? Drop ! If you have any doubts and you really don’t know if there is an opening, ask someone outside for their opinion but, above all, don’t throw yourself into the lion’s mouth. It hurts the walls very, very badly when you crash into them.
The essential: take into account its character Is he very shy? Don’t sing your love to her in a public square! Declaring your flame has a somewhat kitsch side and can quickly turn ridiculous, often precisely because you make the person you are supposed to charm uncomfortable. With some, a word is enough, while others need a list of their qualities. It is you who love it, it is you who know!
The crunchy asset: customization She loves rap? Try recording your statement to one of his favorite sounds. In any case, you must try to touch the other by making him understand that you know him or her, because it is a way of telling him that you love him as he or she is, with his universe, his tastes, and that you are not going to try to change him or her.
The trick not to do: use big words We know you’re on board. But let’s calm down! No : “I can’t sleep anymore because of you”, “I can’t see myself living without you anymore”… All those phrases that will make you look hopeless and give each other too much responsibility when you’re not even together yet. Instead, stick to how you feel when you see him or her, and what you appreciate about that person. Once again, take it easy on the compliments, she might not believe it if you compare her to Angelina Jolie!
The key word: authenticity The “Your father stole all the stars to put them in your eyes”, it’s no way. Like all the other cutesy quotes, it doesn’t work. Simply because those are not your words. Don’t be ashamed of being you, of making mistakes in French or of stuttering, authenticity is much better than a bad poem, that’s for sure.
