Which of the sentences is the most accurate? In other words, which one should I use when expressing my feelings towards someone?

1) I think about you all the time.
2) I'm thinking about you all the time.
3) I've been thinking about you all the time.

@Nat093,
Any one of them can be used as they're all correct depending on what you want to express in reference to when you are doing the thinking.

Simple present tense. A general, ongoing state, habit, routine or condition.

Quote:
2) I'm thinking about you all the time.

Present continuous. Pretty much the same as 1)

Quote:
3) I've been thinking about you all the time.


Present perfect continuous. Implies that what you have been doing in the past is affecting the present and may continue into the future.

Like Ragman says, any of them will do the job.
