The famous Richard Marx song can regularly be seen in all the different love song compilations and CD's around the world. It is probably one of the best songs to play when you feel like conveying your love to that special person in your life. It often happens that though we love someone from the bottom of our heart, we are never quite able to express it to the other person.

This tends to happen quite often and for a variety of reasons. Some people are shy, some are confused, while some are downright petrified of the fear of getting rejected! Well, for those who are clueless about how to go about expressing your love, here is a list of some of the most romantic ways in which you can say I love you to the person you're in love with.

Prepare a mixed tape or a CD of your loved one's favorite love songs. If possible, try adding your own personal love message at the end or in between some of the songs. A mixed tape is always a good option if you have just begun dating or if you are in the initial stages of your relationship.

Use Flowers!! Flowers were, are and forever will be one of the most genuine ways of showing your love and affection. There are lots of 'love flowers' and each flower conveys something unique and special. A white carnation symbolizes fascination, love and purity whereas a deep red rose conveys a short and simple message, "I love you!".

If your loved one has a fascination for languages, try saying I love you in as many languages as you can. Use the Internet, jot down the equivalent translation and mug it up. She is sure to appreciate your efforts!

Love poems and Valentine's day poems have been around for ages and are still a very popular way of expressing love. If you are a poetic person, try penning a few lines for your special one. It doesn't have to be a long written sonnet, a simple three-lined tercet will do just fine. However, if you can't write to save your life, you can always Google around and find some nice romantic love poems to choose from.

If you are musically inclined, you could sing or play your favorite love song on a guitar and dedicate it to the one you love.

Love chatting on the phone with your sweetheart? Why not turn it into a romantic way of saying I love you? Imagine yourself to be Stevie Wonder and croon away with 'I just called to say I love you...'. Just make sure that you dial the right number!

If you are shy of mouthing the words 'I love you', try doing it through a game of charades. Have a friend set you up so that you end up acting out the words 'I love you' in front of the one you love.

Gifts are another popular way of conveying love. Gift her some nice jewelry. It will surely give her a hint of what you are longing to say!

This one calls for a little bit of creativity on your part. Come up with 365 reasons why you love him and write each one down on separate chits. Present him with one chit every morning, i.e., one reason for every single day of the year!

You love football while she prefers the ballet. Show that you love and care for her feelings by surprising her with two tickets for the Saturday ballet. Ladies, you can reciprocate by taking your man to his much-loved football game. It will work wonders, I assure you!

Surprise him by coming home early from work and preparing a candlelight dinner, complete with wine, flowers, Kenny G playing in the background... in short, all the works! It will go a long way in keeping alive the romance!

Or you can steal your guy's cell phone when he's not around and set an 'I love you' reminder for the next day. It will certainly catch him by surprise!

Guys, shower all your love on the woman you love by gifting her an entire day's luxuries at the best spa and salon in town. Giving your loved one a soothing 5-minute massage after a long and tiring day's work is a really nice gesture of love and care.

If you are one of those eccentric, adventurous types, you can think about tattooing your loved one's name on your arm as a symbol of your love and loyalty.

Take her out to dinner to a nice beautiful restaurant with a candlelit ambiance. Have the band play her favorite love song as you order a bottle of champagne.
