It would be unwise to say "te iubesc" to someone you have just met. Love at first sight can be tricky business. In most cases, it can be just an infatuation, even plain sexual attraction. It generally involves burning passion rather than warm affection, and is like a tornado that leaves a trail of destruction in its trail.

In Romania, "Te iubesc" does not signify an immediate or urgent passion. Rather it has a gentler and more mature connotation. It could mean "I want to be with you forever, to hold your hands and look deep into your eyes, to find you by my side when I wake up every morning."

Again, a woman could feel insulted when she tells someone that she loves him, and receives no suitable reply.

Exactly when you say "I love you" is important as well. If you are a girl, you definitely should not profess your love in the middle of a football match he is watching on television. He would be totally distracted, and might unintentionally hurt your feelings. So you should first find an appropriate setting, create a romantic atmosphere, and wait for the right moment to say "I love you". You must also say those magic words when you are face to face with your sweetheart, never in an e-mail or the instant messenger for the first time. Later on you can send as many love messages as you want. Again, more than love messages it is important to show that you care through small gestures, aimed at making the special person happy, for instance remembering what they like.
