How do you find the right words to tell someone that you really love them when your relationship just ended?

There are really no "right" words to say in a situtation like that. you just need to be honest with yourself and her/him. Take a deep breath and just say what you feel. If you don't then you may regret never saying it and honestly, you most likely have nothing to lose by telling her/him what you really feel. Life will go on and maybe it will bring you two back together immediately, or later on in life or maybe never, but at least you can say you were being honest and true to yourself and your feelings.\n\nI hope that helps and good luck!\nCheers :)

Why not sit down and talk with them.....express your feelings honestly, and ask how they feel about you.  But don't be in a hurry to end a relationship just because your love doesn't or is unable to say they love you back right at that moment.  Sometimes love buds and develops in time.  That is always a possibility.  Expressing your feeling honestly frequently sets the ball in motion also. What you actually feel and how you come across can be mis-interpeted.  You expression and conversation may be the 1st time your love realized that you "actually" love him/her.  Best of luck to you.   "Love is a many splendid thing"

Sometimes you can't make a clean break with love. The emotion is just too intense. If you are like me...once you love, you always love. It never really goes away. Personally, I would drive to his house and be sitting on his porch step when he arrives home from work. I would stand there and wait for him to walk up to me and I would simply say......"I love you." He'll know you mean it......nothing else will need to be said. The gesture will say it all. But the point is......you need to tell him!! Good luck!

If he has just come out of a long relationship, don't push this too hard.  Just be there as a friend to start with, and let him know you are there for him.  When he's ready for a relationship, he'll let you know.

I'm assuming that you are talking about a loved one in a romantic sense here.  I guess you can call them?  E-mail them?  SMS them?  Fax them?  Chat on MSN/Yahoo Messenger and AIM to them?  Make the most of the time you guys have together and just enjoy.. When you are not with them, just remember all the good things that happened when you were with them and look forward to seeing them again! :) Hope this helped somehow.

You need closure. Tell him how you feel and explain that if you did not tell him, you'd explode. Then tell him that that's just it, that you're willing to give him the freedom he wants and for your part, you are doing your share of getting over him soon. This transition "rite" would formalize your breakup and should clarify things for both of you that you don't have to play the waiting game anymore. Afterwards, forget about him and move on.

If you are in a relationship with the person you want to tell, then tell that person straight up, "I love you." If not in relationship, then try, "I love you, ya know that?" It tells the person how ya feel but makes it lighthearted and non-commital. (also gives the other person an opportunity to tell you how they feel.)

there really isn't a "delicate" way aside from just saying "it's over, really really over" and sticking to it. how do you do that? \n\nwell, your first step is realizing how much you really want to stay out. you have found yourself going back, and now you feel like a jerk because you're not into it as much as she is. so think of it this way: how would you feel if she was the one coming back to you when she was "bored or lonely"--wouldn't you be mad and hurt? you don't want to hurt this person do you? so stop doing that. you're being a jerk. (not a bad person, but just not who you should be.)\n\nthe next thing you need to do is set a period during which you will not call or contact or hang out or talk more than in passing and out of courtesy with this person. tell her and yourself that this is necessary for your to transform your relationship into a platonic one. if she keeps calling you, then stick to your rule. (i.e., don't answer the phone, and don't call her back. the common courtesy of a greeting when you meet outside the home is okay, but try to make it not go beyond "hi how are you?")  i'd make it a period of about four to six months. \n\nget out there and talk to and look at and be around other women. get to know other women. date. even if it's the friendly sort of date that doesn't go anywhere. cultivate your crushes. enjoy your life. find a new hobby or hang-out that has nothing to do with your old relationship. in fact, try one that your old girlfriend didn't like or prevented you from doing. look forward to finding someone you can love. \n\nthe reason i have never "gone back" is because i keep focused on the reasons why i don't want to be with that person, and i remind myself that being alone is a good thing. i also remind myself that it is a waste of time to be with someone who doesn't present as the "love of your life."

Thank him for his honesty. His being honest with you should help you to close that door and move on. If you feel you need to offer him some closure I would thank him for the good times, tell him you enjoyed the time you two had together, and wish him the best of luck in the future. In time you'll be fine. =)

you say it when you feel it, not just because you feel you have too say it. if you are not in love then dont say it. you will know when the right time comes up.

Tell him that you're not ready to say it and put that sort of label on your feelings. But that you feel for him. That you care about him. When my man first told me, I din't say it back. I told him That I feel for him. It made me really nervous. I told him never to say it unless he means it, because I would never say anything empty.

The key to any relationship is communication.  If you can't talk about how you feel then things are not going to get any better.  Be strong, find a moment during your conversation to just say I love you and I am tired of fighting lets figure out a way to get back on track.  Or something like that, you need to talk about it or it will just get worse.

OK LOOK WHEN YOU GUYS ARE TOGETHER ANYWHERE JST WHISPER IT INTO HIS EAR OR SCREAM IT FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS OR YO COULD SEND HIM AN E-CARD SAYING I LOVE IN THEM OR JUST TELL IN BABY I LUV YOU. BUT LOOK ONLY SAY THOSE WORDS IF YOU REALLY RELLY NEAN IT BECAUSE THOSE WORDS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. THOSE WORDS GO A LONG WAS SO BE CAREFUL WHEN SAYING THAT TO ANYBODY.

Why did you break up in the first place?  Talk to him and tell him how you feel.  He may just be feeling the same way about you.  Don't stay quiet.

It depends on the person and how long the "longterm" relationship was, but I'd probably say, give yourself a few months to mourn the loss of your former relationship.\nA good key to know whether or not you are ready for a new relationship is if you find yourself still talking about your past relationship or if you still talk about how horrible your last boy/girlfriend was to you and then go into great detail to "drag them through the dirt" to your potential new boy/girlfriend.
