1.  Turn and face your partner, and with as much
genuineness as you can muster, say “I really
love/like you.” Then the other person has their

 Did anyone feel believed? Why not?
 Words are important for their accuracy in
conveying information, such as MHPE content, but
the other aspects of language must also be
congruent (match) with the words.
