Hi Mesud,

Would my suggestion below work? It sounds more natural.

The person of whom you think "does he love me" etc.

Hi Lein

Yes. But I got two questions to ask you. First, is it more natural or more formal? I think it is not that common to say "the person of whom you think" in daily life. Second, why is 'saying' missing?

Hello Mesud

Yes, I agree 'of whom' makes it sound more formal. I have been trying to think of a less formal way, so suggestions are welcome! The problem with 'the person you think of saying "X" ' is that it is only grammatically correct if you think of a person who is saying X, not a person about whom you are thinking to say something.

Second, 'of whom you think to say' would mean you are actively considering actually saying this out loud, which seems a bit odd in this case - it would seem more natural that this is someone you have certain thoughts about.

It has just occurred to me I may be interpreting this in the wrong way - would this be what you mean?

The person you think of when you say (or: when saying) "does he love me?" probably doesn't love you, because the lover never makes you think but makes you feel.

How about we put "like" in place of "saying"?

Ugh! That is American soap opera teenage speak, heavily frowned on in the rest of the English-speaking world!

How about

The person you think of with the question 'does he love me?' etc?

or

The person you ask yourself about 'does he love me?' etc?

Your proposals are perfect. I am leaving the decision up to you.

does he love me?...> does he love me, too ?"
and he/she.

(I have assumed you agree with the addition of 'too', Mesud )
