\"candy-hearts\"<\/p>\n

A flirt<\/b><\/h3>\n

A flirt is what we call a person who flirts a lot. Some people are natural flirts and just want to be playful; however, you have to be careful not to give someone the wrong impression as they may really think you\u2019re interested in them!<\/p>\n

Did you see Jack at the party last night?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, he\u2019s such a<\/strong> flirt<\/strong>! <\/i>He was chatting and laughing with all the girls.<\/em><\/p>\n

Love<\/h3>\n

“Love” is actually a verb and a noun. When “like” just isn’t enough, we use “love” to express a deeper, more intense feeling. Some people write it as “luv” in text messages or when chatting online. While not technically correct, you might see it in casual environments like on social media.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I love<\/strong> Valentine’s Day! It’s a great opportunity to celebrate all of the love<\/strong> in your life.<\/p>\n

Bouquet<\/h3>\n

A bouquet is an arrangement of flowers. It’s a common gift on Valentine’s day as well as to congratulate someone, wish them well or let them know that you’re thinking about them when they’re going through a difficult time (for example, after the death of a loved one).<\/p>\n

What a beautiful bouquet<\/strong> of flowers!<\/em><\/p>\n

I know. Pete gave them to me for our 10-year anniversary.<\/i><\/p>\n

Secret admirer<\/h3>\n

On Valentine\u2019s Day, it\u2019s not uncommon to receive a card, flowers or other gift that says “from your secret admirer” instead of the name of the person it’s from. A secret admirer <\/i>is a person who may be too embarrassed or shy to tell you that they like you and would prefer to remain anonymous (unknown)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Someone sent me flowers for Valentine’s Day, but the card doesn’t say who they’re from.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oooh, exciting, you\u2019ve got a secret admirer!<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

Fianc\u00e9\/fianc\u00e9e<\/h3>\n

A fianc\u00e9 is the man someone is engaged to. If you add an extra “e” to the end, it refers to an engaged woman. These words come from the French language and are pronounced the same, so they’re often mixed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My parents are meeting my fianc\u00e9<\/strong> for the first time tomorrow. I’m so nervous!<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are some more nouns you can use on Valentine’s Day or any time you want to turn up the romance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Common English Phrases for Valentine’s Day<\/h2>\n

\"balloons-that-spell-out-love\"<\/p>\n

XOXO<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we sign a message with “xoxo” it means hugs and kisses. The “x’s” represent kisses and the “o’s” represent hugs. You might see different combinations of these two letters or just “x’s” for kisses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This letter combination is only used in writing and in texts or chatting and is not typically said out loud, unless someone is reading a letter or message. It’s the iconic sign-off used by the anonymous blogger in the popular series “Gossip Girl.”<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

To have a crush on someone<\/h3>\n

If you have a crush on someone, it means you like them a lot and want to be more than friends with them. This is usually used between young people or when you’re attracted to a celebrity (your “celebrity crush”).<\/p>\n

Additionally, you can say you\u2019re “<\/strong>crushing on”<\/b> someone.\u00a0<\/b>It means the same thing as having a crush on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hey Julie, I’d really like to get to know you better. Will you go out with me <\/strong>on Saturday night?<\/em><\/p>\n

To get engaged<\/h3>\n

If you get engaged, it means that your partner asked you to marry them and you said yes (or vice versa). There’s no set time that people spend engaged before they get married. It can be just a few months or even a few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We got engaged<\/strong> a month ago, and we’re now planning our wedding for next summer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Butterflies in your stomach<\/h3>\n
