155 Romantic Love Messages For Your Special Someone
A collection of 155 romantic messages to send, say, or put in a card. They are grouped by feeling so you can choose the right tone for the moment. This is based on research that shows that small, regular actions like sending a nightly text message can make relationships stronger and improve how people feel. The Gottman Institute + 2 Harvard Health + 2
Here are some quick tips to help you before you send:
- Match the tone. For new relationships, it's short and playful; for long-term partners, it's deeper and more specific.
- Be consistent. Doing the same things every night makes you feel safer and more relaxed. The Gottman Institute
- Make it your own. Add something small (like a memory, nickname, or plan) to make it more emotional.
- Try using a range of media. Combine text with a selfie video, voice note, or shared photo album on TellSomething to create a keepsake moment.
- Timing is important. Send them when they're likely to be winding down—about 30 to 60 minutes before they go to sleep, which often works best. Harvard Health

How to make messages stick: turn them into multimedia keepsakes with TellSomething
Words are powerful, but when you add images, short videos, or voice notes, they're even more memorable. On TellSomething, you can:
- Make a card with a picture and a message (it's great for when you want to send a "goodnight ritual" to someone).
- Ask your partner to reply with voice notes or images so you can build a shared archive together.
- You can either export or keep private the special moments you share together. This way, you can look back on them together at any time.

Try this 3-step ritual tonight:
- Pick one line above.
- Record a 10–20 second voice note saying it.
- Upload a photo (even a selfie of you with your pillow) and send it as a TellSomething card titled "Goodnight Ritual.”
