A man whispering you all the time his magic words of " i love you " but he do nothing ..he don't want to buy a gift or make surprises for you to be happy ... or a man didn't utter the words " i love you" but he's giving all the material things that he is sure you will like it.

Hello meetmehalfway! Well it depends actually. If the man who keeps on telling me I love you can't afford to give me gifts, then it's ok. But what you said here is that "who won't give you surprises too for you to be happy" Well, I probably won't choose him. I mean, there are lots of ways he can do to surprise me. It's not only money or material things.
I would rather choose a guy who didn't say I love you but always do things that would make me happy and that would make me feel how special I am for him because I believe that "action speaks louder than words"

i would agree on that. there are simple things that can make us happy without having money involve. or what i mean is there are little things that doesn't need to buy or to give just to surprise you. a card itself stating how much you love your partner can be one surprise or giving simple flowers with a little message can be a romantic one too yet inexpensive.
but i won't agree with someone who doesn't love to say i love you to you. i don't think i can stand on that. i would never appreciate someone if he never says i love you to me. is it possible?...so how come you became lovers if he never says i love you?....

well, at least I know I am special and that's important..his actions are telling me how much he loves me so no need for him to say I love you everytime..
you're welcome meetmehalfway..

i do believe in the saying "action speaks louder than words". and i would prefer a man who would not only tell you he loves you but would really prove to you by his actions that he really is in love with you. but i don't think that material things should be the basis of it. something that might really be appreciated is enough for me to prove that he loves me. a simple hug and kiss is more worth while than any jewels or material things he could ever give me. happy mylotting!

And words speaks better than action. There are just times that someone needs to be reassured not because s/he don't trust you but for simple reason that s/he wants to hear it and that is her/his way of being at ease. The words I meant to point out are sincere and caring words and not just for the sake of.

That is hard to chose cause it seems there are material things that involve in making decision here. Sometimes (if not all the time) it is hard to decide in matters like love. For some reason, each of us has preference what kind of partners we like to have and the irony is, the opposite always come in front of us. I think we just have to accept what is given to us and trust in it. The only question is, how do we know if it is the one? In that, you are the only one who can answer it.

my husband tells me he loves me every day & also shows it in his actions. we don't have any xtra money right now but i don't care. with his love i can make it & be happy. may 1st we will be married 14 yrs & he still says please & thank u & opens doors for me. he is my best friend. to me actions speak louder than words, but it is ever so nice to hear him say "i love u more than life itself." & he shows it every day.

My boyfriend and i tell each other we love each other a lot, we can not afford many things as we both don't have jobs at the moment and its hard. We do the best we can with what we have and we do strive to make ends meet. Its not always about buying things for each other, but having each other there when we need them the most. A realationship is much more than buying gifts.

I totally agree that it is not about buying things for each other. I think the most important thing is feeling loved and are there for each other like lologirl said. I dont want a guy to spend money on me, I want him to express his love through words and actions and being there for me rather than giving me material things because those things dont matter in life.

Hemmm...As a boy, I think the later one is much better. But sometimes, you need to let your lover know you love her.

My opinion is that Material things do not mean love, and they do not mean that some one loves you. My ex bought me what ever i wanted, took me on trips to where ever i wanted to go. I had everything that money could buy....but i did not have love....He did not do any of the simple things that really say i love you. Like when i was sick he hired a nurse to stay with me....The man im married to now not only tells me he loves me he makes me feel loved. If i got sick he would stay by my side, and hold my hand and sit with me, he would make sure i was OK he would not leave that to some one else. We do things together all the time, even if it is just going for a walk, holding hands and talking. He is their when i need him, and i am their when he needs me. He makes me feel safe and secure, he makes me laugh and makes me happy. Money can buy Material things, but it sure can not buy LOVE.
