Many a times words can be deceiving. When a person says i love you, check him closely. The person needs to substantiate that statement. But not through another set of words but through deed. It is easier said than done. Be level headed and do not melt when these words are addressed to you. I love you is not enough. The words might sound like sweet melodies to the ear but take heed and be patient. Let the person who used these words walk the talk. Actions speak louder than words. Let this person pass the whole test. By merely writing your name in an exam sheet does not make you score any marks. The examiner has to be convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that indeed you know what you are talking about. It is a wise thing to give this person time and at the same time to take your time because a simple "i love you" is not enough. Let time be the arbitrator in these case. Time will always tell. Will the sweet talker stand the test of time?

Deeds ought to speak for themselves. It is the most powerful mode of communication. Does the person apart from saying " i love you" understand your needs, hopes, desires and expectations. Are you treated well until you say yes this is the person i have been looking for all this time? The missing link that makes a person walk to the end of the world looking for it. I love you is not enough, it is not the end of the road. Actually it is misused many times to take advantage of a situation. It is used to exploit your vulnerability and naivety. Be careful not to act desperate by acting like no one else has ever told you such magical words. It might be a bait. If you give in so quickly, the person might leave you high and dry.

Is this person faithful to you or you are just another one of his many projects? Are you the only one in his life? Beware of falling in the arms of a heartbreaker. He might break your heart so badly that it will take a long time to heal. It is true that these great words did not emanate directly from his heart however much they maybe be sugar coated. I love you is not enough, is he caring enough for you. I mean does he do those small things that matter. Washing your feet when you are tired. Always being there for you when you most need him. Offering you a shoulder to cry on. Making you feel good when your days are blue. It may sound trivial but that is what matters in life.

Honesty is a virtue and you should ask yourself whether this person is honest with you. Do not be taken for a joy ride. Do not think what he is saying is true because i love you is not enough. Is he honest enough to open his heart to you? Lack of honesty in a relationship is a sure way of killing romance in a relationship. Physical, material and emotional support combined with understanding go a long way to render meaning to the words "i love you"
