...in a relationship, are you more on words or actions?...personally, i prefer actions than words...i want to show to my partner that i love her so much thru my actions...but recently, since we are apart with each other, i used words more often..i keep saying "i love you" to her every single day just for her to know that i love her so much and that i won't get tired of saying those words to her everyday even if she gets tired of hearing it.....how about you? do you prefer to show your emotions and feelings thru words or would you prefer showing it thru your actions?...

I am a blind person, so sometimes I cannot enjoy actions (e.g. when my girlfriend smiles to me), so it will be nice if she can say what she feels to me.
So, I prefer true words first, then action. That way I can fulfill both side (words and actions). The most important thing is that you do it with truthfulness.

Everybody loves to hear words of endearment more so hearing the words "i love you" from our loved ones. For me, love should be conveyed not only by words but also shown through actions. I believe aside from telling our loved ones that we love them, we should reinforce it with acts of love because these simple gestures, these simple acts of love and compassion touches the heart. Loving and being loved is a total experience communicated not only through our sense of hearing and touch but expressed and felt by our five senses. That's why for me, saying "i love you" should not be a mere lip service but one that can be felt and expressed through our actions.

I think a healthy mixing of both would be the ideal situation LOL
Empty words do not carry any weight, after sometime the other person will definitely understand the hollowness of our feelings if we only use words but have no similar actions.
However, all action can make life very boring too. You are now courting your partner so love is very exciting as it is, however once you are married and after a few years of marriage, you’ll see that words have their own importance too.

...you are exactly correct..i prefer to say, one cannot stand alone without the others, so it is still best to used both actions and words and they must be telling the same thing which is how you feel towards your significant other...thank you for your response..=)

I prefer to act more than just words. Some people like to express their passions resort to words, but I hate just saying something before my partner. Sometime, I even believe words can cheat others easily. On the other side, I prefer to give my partner various surprise without telling her. Hint, it is great way to please your boy or girl friend.

I prefer to show my love through actions because actions speak louder than words. Words are meaningless if they are not put into action. But I do love saying "I love you." It makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. I love hearing those words, too. I just prefer action.

Im more on words if he is away but if he is in front of me no need for words actions better than this. So I always show him that i really love him. This makes my partner more powerful and he get some strength from me as he loves me too. When he is away i prefer to say words all sweet and romantic words that helps us to feel the love that we have inside us. To feel more secure that no one will inter anyone into our hearts. Nice to hear this word even we are near to each other, this is the magic word.

...right, same with me...i believe it may also depends upon situation...i mean, if there is distance between you words can be a very effective tool in showing one's feeling...by saying those words, we somehow made assurance in our relationship and to our partners that we are always for them...thanks for your response..=)

You are right in action friend, because you are not together you have to use words, but if you are together in a home there are tons of other ways to express love, like cuddling, hugs, embracing, kissing
I live with my cute wife in home with my grown up kids and grandkids lol..
Thank you so much.
Professor. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.
God bless you. Welcome always.

I am a very expressive person, I often say it to the one I love and incorporate action on it. A simple squeeze on the hand when one is feeling nervous or uncomfortable can make someone feel that he/she is loved...a hug will make a cold day warmer not just on the physical aspect but by the love that is being shared by that gesture...preparing food or things one specially like will make him/her feel loved because you are actually putting effort in it. there are various ways to express how we love someone, but somehow, saying it confirms it...but action and words go along...just be sure that the words are not empty. =)

Definitely actions. Words mean a lot to me. I love it when a man can verbally express him emotions. But actions definitely mean more.

Yes these 3 words are very very strong words to make any relationships strong.. so always use these 3 words at right time when you feel.. that your relationships are getting weak.. sometimes this works as a tonics for relationships mostly like in love..

I guess I'm a showy person and not into words. I'm a sweet person and transparent person. You can easily tell what I feel that day. If I love the person it shows and if i hate the person it shows too. I guess saying I love you is useless if a person doesn't put those words into action.I want to say romantic and sweet words sometime and hear those words also but I prefer actions.
