I am not in any relationship for sometime now, so i get loved only by my family and real good friends for now. I get lots of love from my siblings. We may not say "i love yous" to each other, but once in a while they go to my room either early in the morning or before i sleep to give me a hug.
During my relationships, some of the things where i felt love were when he would remember important dates, hold my hands and give up some boys' night out just to be with me.
Sometimes, couples show their love in an odd way that does not altogether make there partner feel love.
Most of the time all i need to feel loved are actually just a big hug and nice words. =)
How about you, what makes you feel love?

That's ok Ummbinyamin, you can't please everybody. The important thing is you give love back to those who loves you.
Thanks for your response!
More love to you!

Love is something we desire in our lives always. The best ones come from our parents, the siblings, the grandparents, uncles and aunts, from everyone in the family. We have to express our love in many ways. It is peculiar that many of us do not say those 'I love you's' which I perceive to be very comforting and soothing. Of course, that comes along with a hug and kiss.
The love which come as we grow older, that is felt when we are starting to consider finding the right person to be with for the rest of our lifetime. We are all aware that to be able to identify the right individual is crucial because then, we shall be building a family of our own.

I felt loved when I see those tenderness overflowing from the eyes of my beloved. The warmness of his embrace and the passion in his kisses. And the way he cuddles me in his chest like he wouldn't let me go for all the life.

My husband is not very good at typical romantic gestures. But I'm OK with that becase he shows his love in other ways that mean even more to me. When he leaves for work in the morning and I'm still sleeping, he will often pull the covers up over me and tuck me back in before kissing me goodbye. He will come up behind me when I'm doing dishes and put his arms around my waist and kiss my neck. That's his way of saying he appreciates me. He thanks me for making dinner every night during the meal---which in turn gets my kids to thank me too and I think that's a great example.
So for me, it's the little gestures that mean the most. Those things mean far more to me than a bouquet of flowers.

I remember that my boyfriend does hug me from behind while doing the dishes and vice versa (he does the dishes sometimes, hihi).

awww that's so sweet? how many husbands out there do that, hugging you while you do the dishes? I'm sure that you're kids would also be like that in the future because they see how loving their parents are!
You are lucky to have a sensitive partner and appreciative kids too!

Yes, that's life and all we could do to ease the pain of losing someone special is to accept it and move on. God has other plans,ask Him and listen, are you ready? Someone more special is coming your way soon. Smile =)

Love is an action verb. You can feel LOVED as a result of the actions another person, and add to that an attraction of some sort, and you could have what some percieve to be love.
I feel love most when it is practiced. Here's the definition by which you can determine if it is love. If someone treats me this way, I CAN CERTAINLY FEEL LOVE.(D)
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."

Little gestures mean a lot to me too. I feel loved more when my boyfriend hold or kiss me in public places. I felt like he's too proud to have me that's why he's showing it to the world. He always say I love you to me and vice versa. He's working in the ship right now and I felt that he really loved me everytime he say that he's dying to see me and he really miss me. Sometimes showing a little jealousy means that you loved the person.

I feel loved by my kids when they ask me for a cuddle and also my family who I know all care about me.
I think it knowing that someone wants tobe with you and enjoys your company and seeks you out to spend time with you. Thats what makes you feel loved.

to feel loved i just need a blend of everything: you don't have to tell methat you love me ALL the time, but yes now and then, you can have details with me but not necessarily always, just often enough for me to notice that you care so much.
It's in small details that you feel love..and then now and then you can do something crazy or romantic and your partner will go crazy with love as well :)

My husband winks at me and I feel loved. He touches my hair as he walks by and again, I feel loved.
My Grandsons scream like heathens when they see me and I feel loved. My daughter kisses me goodnight and there it is again. My dog sits at the top of the stairs and waits to greet me every morning. (this might be because I feed and water him) but it makes me feel loved. My oldest son takes the time once a week just to play magic cards with me. yes, I feel loved, blessed, lucky.

I am happy about your reply, thank you! Yes, pets show their love too, not just because we feed them. I remeber, i was not home for about a month, when i came home my cat could not get enough licking me and sitting on my lap, i trying putting her down, but she would come up to my lap again ang just kind of rub her face on me.
May your wonderful family shower you so much love everyday.

I feel blessed and loved whether I am in a relationship or not, cos I count on my family(parents, brother and sisters), who I love very very much and the constant blessings of God with or without a few bumps in my life to make me realise I am truly loved, no matter what. I know my family understands me the best, and loves me unconditionally, so that is something I fall back on when things don't work out in the outside world and it really helps. Staring at a picture of us all in a group photo on my desk at work, and I say yes again, I feel loved. Praise God!

what makes me feel love? jusst like any other girl, i feel loved when he remembers important dates and plans... when he keeps promises, when he gives up night outs just to be with you bec. your presence is what makess hiim happy, howw he tries to be honest with you all the time, checks on you as much as he can when you feel down or ill, and those little yet important gestures of hugs and kisses, and sincere and promising words of love.

I feel loved when my family always remember me even though were part ways.they keep on sending me messages and calling to me. just saying hi and how are you. simple message yet has a deeper sense to me. Also, my boyfriend, is too sweet every time he gets off from work or even at work he didn't fail to send me a message and called. I love that. hehe

I feel loved whenever someone listens to me and give me fruitful pieces of advice. Whenever I am treasured and cherished in a friendly way. And it's the same, I also feel loved whenever nice words are said to me.

Loving someone and be loved in return is what everybody wants. Now I am happily married with one daughter. Being there at all times when my road seems difficult to travel and helping me to cope up with all my frustration is what I called love. Having someone to greet you when you return home after all days hard work and caressing you and with those little feet running to you saying papa where'sy "bubong's" what am I ask for.
