Correct or not no. 41 - for or to you, for me or to me

Hi there,

Just a quick question. Are these sentences correct or not?

1. A quick question to you/for you...
2. To me/for me love is more than just words.

Even though these are very common sentences, I'm not quite sure which preposition is correct.

Thanks

Are you saying "To me" is incorrect, CJ?

CalifJimIt's not a sentence.
May I know why? Is it because there's no subject?

How about these:

I have a quick question for you...
I have a quick question to you...

No. By my strike-outs I'm giving my recommendations. It sounds totally wrong to my ear in the first example, however (question to you).

Perfect Stranger Is it because there's no subject?
Right. And no verb. You've made it a sentence by adding "I have".
Perfect StrangerI have a quick question for you...I have a quick question to you...
This is my recommendation.
