How to Master the Art of Loving in Return

Falling in love creates a magical feeling in us. It can give is a feeling of pure bliss and happiness, especially when we find it in the right person. And while it is the best feeling to be loved, it is also just as important to know how to reciprocate this love and show that person how you feel.

To love someone back means that you are taking the risk to be vulnerable and to allow anything that will happen to happen. It is about being ready to whatever love brings you and wherever it will take you. It means that there’s no holding back. While it may sound scary because of the fact that you are opening yourself to a chance of being vulnerable and the possibility of being broken, remember that it is all part of living. After all, you will never know if this is the kind of love you are waiting for unless you give it a try.

Here is how you can actually master the art of loving a person in return.

1. Love yourself first

You cannot share that love if you have not learned how to love yourself first. Like what they say, you can’t pour from an empty cup. It means that you have to know how it feels to really be loved before you let somebody feel the same way. If you know how to care enough for yourself and respect yourself, you would know how to do the same for someone else.

2. Treat the person how you want to be treated

We all want to be treated nice and fair, and if that’s what you want for yourself, you should give the same treatment to that person. If you want to feel affection and being cared for, you must also do the same because you will never know how much happiness you can actually bring to this person.

3. Don’t allow your ego to stop you from loving

Sometimes, we hesitate and we hold our feelings back for the fear of losing our pride and ego. What are you exactly afraid of? It is natural for your pride to keep you from letting your guard down because you don’t want to expose your weakness. But know that it will not take you anywhere if you do not risk.

4. Be honest

Honesty is one of the essential elements for building trust. And if you want to show love in return, you need to show the person that you are worthy of the trust that they give you. It is one of the best things that you can do to reciprocate the love they are showing you.

5. Know what love means to your partner

We all have our own understanding, definition, and language of love. How you want to feel that love may not be the same as how the other person wants to feel it. We have our different languages of love. If you feel loved whenever you receive gifts or surprises, your partner may feel loved when you spend more time with him. It is important to understand how they define love so you know how to express it to them.

6. Express your feelings

Because it is difficult to read other people’s thoughts, it is important that you know how to express your feelings. Aside from actions, you may also want to be very vocal about it. It is really nice to hear from someone how much they are loved and cared for. You can start by thanking them even for the little things. You can also appreciate and compliment them for the way they look, or something they have done right. By doing this, you will certainly be able to put a smile on their faces. There is nothing wrong with using your voice to let a person know how much he means to you. Take this time while you can to express it and don’t waste a day without letting them know how you feel. At the end of the day, making them feel loved and seeing them happy will also give you the most rewarding feeling of all.
