People are different in so many ways. Some people are very expressive while some don't even know how to express their feelings to their loved ones. Do you think it's important to say I love you as often as you you can? I do say I love you often to my boyfriend to show him that he mean the world to me. I say I love you on emails, cards, letters, im's, on the phone, and say it randomly when we were together. I maybe that expressive to my boyfriend but I'm not with my parents. I'm just shy but God knows how much I love my parents. I rarely say I love you to them, I felt really bad. But I do when I give them cards and stuff. I also know that they knew that I do loved them. They're not that expessive too. With my siblings and friends, sometimes I do and I just say it randomly but not very often.
How about you? I think we have to say it before it's too late.

I dont think one needs to say i love you time and again. Rather i think i should reflect in your actions than words. I dont say this too often to my husband as my actions say much more. I do tell my little one that i love her a lot as i feel that she is too small to underatand it by actions.

Don't you think that expressing it through actions and words are better? It doesn't matter if you're saying it to an adult or a child, what matters is you have to say it as often as you can to let the person know how you feel.

I never say "i love you" to people maybe because i'm not a very openly affectionate person. I also believe that some things don't have to be said for people to know that you love them. However my parents say "i love you" to me twice a year on Christmas and birthdays.Its the things you do to show them you love them that really matter. That said i do think sometimes its nice to hear an "i love you" . Gives you warm and fuzzy feelings ;)

They say action speak louder that words but I prefer hearing it than making me guess and wonder if I am being loved. You should try saying it often, it's important!

i tell my wife and kids I love you as much as i can. i think it is important to expressone s feeling
but something important is to mean it and not saying it just to say it
those words are powerful and meaningful but only when you really mean them
S to answer your question i probably tell my wife i love her 30 times a day ;)

I say I Love You to my GF all day. It does not involve saying it all the time (cause that can be irritating and tiring). First thing I do when i wake up is kiss her then give her a hug. Make her breakfast and her lunch bag. Hold her hand while commuting to work. Park right in front of her building even if it means I have to walk to mine. Pick her up at lunch and have lunch together then wait for her to come out of her office and drive her home (while holding her hand). At home, we have dinner together and then right before bed, I kiss her goodnight. Number of times I actually said I love you: 2-3 a day. But my feelings and message was felt throughout the day.

i say i love to my girlfriend nearly 50 times a day...
when ever i call her i start with hi jaan i love...and i say this thing to her nearly 5 times in each call. sometimes i feel like whats the reason that keeps me telling this to her.
but basically i feel good when i say this.

I don't say it enough. I did drive my family crazy one year when for lent, instead of giving something up, I descided to tell each one of my family I love them multiple times a day. They figured out what was going on before Easter arrived, but I enjoyed it.

I do not remember that.But what I do remember is that I say it so many times to my wife and I feel very happy after that when she reciprocates the same feeling.It is very importnat to say these things even though you are in love you must say to believe that you love each other.

I wish I had saw this before posting my discussion about this. Oh well. lol
Anyway...I say I love you quite often and I think everyone close to me knows how much I love them because I make sure to tell them.

I guess its not important to say that you love somebody rather the thing important is to make the other person feel that he is loved and needed by you. Actions speak a lot more than words.

When i first met my wife. That was the case. Between every word i would say i love you and she would reply. But things started to just cool down a little bit, even though my love to her became stronger. so i believe it is ok if we don't always say i love you. At first people might notice that you don't say i love you a lot. But in a while they will realize, and i mean in a while is that when they grow older, they will just realize that actions are more important than words. I am not saying that you should totally not say i love you. Because i think it is important to say it from time to time. But what really matters are actions and believe me people will be more convinced that you do love them through actions and not words. Some people need the combination of both :o).
