How to say 'I love you..'

How many ways can you say I love you?

For some French influence in your love life...
'Je t'aime' (basic for I love you)
or 'Je t'adorer' (to adore you)

For some geisha lovin'..
Ai shite ru means I love you in Japanese. However, this phrase is very rarely used and has very different connotations in Japan than in the West.
Dai suki means I really like you (and sometimes translate as 'I love you')
