Show me the love.

[Jezz143]

Telling someone you love them is nice. You can tell them all day and night, and it makes you smile. SHOWING someone you love them...is. what. counts.

 

Express it.

 

*Show them that you're proud to have them.

*Show others that your proud to have them.

*Listen to them even if its boring.

*Confide in them even if you feel silly

*Recognize the little things that make them happy.

*Hold their hand in public.

*Kiss their forehead.

*Respect their opinions.

..................................................

 

This list seems to go on. And its almost sounds like I'm typing an instruction manual...but really...this stuff should just come naturally. You do this stuff without even thinking about it. That is...when you LOVE someone.

 

Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic...with silly fantasies...

Everyone has a different idea on how to show love. Some people are honestly clueless to how much of a difference the little things make

[sara-pezzini]

i have some problems with the terms proud to "have"them.....when you love someone you don't "have" them....you can be proud to be with them and to have them be in your life but not have them.....sounds like you own them......

other than that, yeah love is wonderful

Words are essentially meaningless, actions are the only true way to know someone's real intentions. I understand this is not the point of this thread, but how many times have people on here asked "I think my bf/gf is lying to me, but they always tell me that they love me, so it must all be in my head, right?" or "My bf/gf is always talking to their ex, but they say they're in love with me even though it seems they're closer to their ex than me"

[Jezz143]

I don't look at it like "owning" them. I mean proud to have them like have them in your life. Happy to have them love you. That sort of thing...

I agree with the little things saying a lot.

 

It was ultimately one of the reasons the relationship with my ex didn't work, and my current one works so well.

This is also all I ever wanted in my 3 1/2 year relationship...I got the words but the actions did not match. Going that long w/out it has completely drained me! :sorrow:

My late bf NEVER said "I love you" to me and I said it about 3 times in the 12 years we were together. But we constantly SHOWED each other how we felt. I never missed the words at all!

Case in point. It's easy to look someone in the eyes and say "I love you," but do you actually mean them? Can you bring yourself to actually show it? Ever seen the show Cheaters? How many conversations between someone and their SO/cheating partner end with "love you babe" and then they go sleep with someone else? Words cost nothing and can be said without any emotional attachment to them.

[lalalollipops]

Yeah. I don't want cheap words ever again.

 

Show me you care, and I wouldn't mind if it takes them more than a year to tell me they love me. Words mean NOTHING to me anymore.

I know the feeling too
