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
