37 Fortune Cookie Sayings About Love

by F&F Team

Each year, people from across the world submit thousands of original fortunes through our site. They trust us with their love notes, motivational mantras and the inspirational sayings that guide them along their journeys.

They also look to us for words to express feelings that are difficult to capture in writing, like love. It’s no wonder that, of the more than 500 sayings in our fortune gallery, the ones people gravitate toward most are our love fortunes.

There are so many ways of saying “I love you” without saying “I love you.” Sometime it’s a matter of inspiring someone to be their best or letting them know you’re on their team. It can also be a matter of empowering them to pursue their dreams, giving them permission to be exactly who they are, making them laugh, assuring them that you’re committed for the long haul, showing them how amazing they look through your eyes, or letting them go even when you wish they would stay.

We’ve compiled some of our all-time favorite fortune cookie love quotes--from our own library, from the fortune cookies we’ve got over a lifetime of Chinese dinners, and from different historical figures. Feel free to borrow any of these for yourself or someone you love.

Traditional Fortune Cookie Love Messages

Who knew fortune cookies could be so romantic? A traditional fortune cookie saying about love shown in our Flowered Vines Fortune Locket.

Fortune cookies have never been great at saying I love you. They’re better at predicting future love or commenting on the state of your current relationship. But there’s something quirky and cute about them, and we often see people submitting them through our site. Here are seven fortune cookie love messages we all know and love:

“The love of your life is right in front of your eyes."
"Behind this fortune is the love of my life."
“You have a secret admirer.”
“Love, because it is the only true adventure.”
“The love of your life will appear in front of you unexpectedly!”
“An old love will come back to you.”
“Your love life will soon be happy and harmonious.”

When love is...inspiring someone to follow their dreams.

Our Fortune Cookie Lockets hold fortunes that remind you to "Be passionate and totally worth the chaos."

When you truly care about someone, you stand behind them when they decided to chase their wildest dreams. That process isn’t always pretty, but you know better than to judge them in the middle of it. If you or the person you love is heading into the unknown to follow their heart, show them--or yourself--that you recognize what they’re doing and believe in them with one of these 10 fortunes.

“Follow what calls you.”
“You’re intoxicating when you do what you love.”
“Be passionate and totally worth the chaos.”
“You will know it when you see it. It will know you when it sees you.”
“Do what you love. The rest will fall into place.”
“Follow what you love and see what turns up.”
“The middle of the process is no place to determine the end of it.”
“You should def go for it.”
“Enter unknown territory.”
“Everything that is was first a dream.”

When love is...self-care.

Wear a custom locket as a reminder that sometimes the best kind of love is self love in our popular Envelope Fortune Locket.

Self-care was one of our new year’s resolutions, and while it’s not the most traditional way of expressing love, reminding yourself or someone else that they deserve a little TLC is one of the most thoughtful ways to show you genuinely care about their (or your!) well being. Here are six fortunes for when self-love is the highest priority:

“Make self care a non-negotiable.”

“Love yourself hard.”

“Set yourself up to experience what you love.”

“Focus on the magic of things; yourself.”

“I am resilient.”

"When you love yourself, people who don't love
you back become less interesting."
