However, taking the time to express yourself is important to building a strong bond. And here's the thing: Even sending a quick text can benefit your relationship; you don't need to lay it out over a bottle of wine and red roses. To get some ideas, keep reading these cute things to say to your girlfriend. Slipping one or two of them into your text or IRL conversations a week could kick your romance up a notch and make your special someone feel cherished, valued, and oh-so-loved.

Why Is It Important to Tell My Partner I Love Them?
Of the 5 Love Languages defined by author Gary Chapman, Words of Affirmation are the most common. That means that, for a lot of people, appreciation and love are best affirmed through words. And really, even if your girlfriend's primary love language is one of the other four, she still probably likes hearing that you care about her.
You don't just have to take Chapman's word for it, either. Studies have shown that those who receive this kind of attention on a daily basis are more optimistic, have higher levels of psychological well-being and feel more purpose.
Other academics have gone even further with their research. A 2016 study published in Plos One found that most folks link the idea of love to everyday acts of kindness, little compliments, and, yes, expressions of appreciation.
That doesn't just spell good news for the person on the receiving end of things. A healthier outlook accounts for a healthier person. And it takes someone in that state of mind to maintain a healthy relationship.
