Those three little words, "I love you." When you're in a relationship (especially a new one) do you need to hear it? How soon? How often?
Are you more a believer that the phrase is unimportant as actions speak louder than words?

and 2 exalts to anyone who understands the correlation between the thread and the title. i understood that ish. the slow dude just beat me to it. ;D No. In a "new" relationship not even my brand of arrogance would allow me to believe it. I don't really have a time frame. Say it when it's genuine. Hmmm, that's a hard one. If you aren't showing it, I don't want to hear it. Let me "hear" it with your actions. Why, yes. Yes I am.

I agree that actions speak louder than words. But if you love me, what’s wrong with saying so? I don’t need to hear it super often or whatever, but if you are purposely refraining from verbalizing your true feelings I actually do see that as a problem.

Purposely refraining, yes. that's a problem. but the habit formed i love yous at the end of phone conversations and every single time you leave my presence (i mean, bruh, you just going to the bathroom. are you about to take a fatal dump or something?), yea, keep that

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! The Other Sister!!! And I do think it needs to be said at some point. Love can be shown but alot of times, it takes more guts to SAY that you love someone than to ACT it out. Acting it out typically is a subconscious action....you aren't really in control of it. It's just happening. You don't know why you always answer the phone when that "certain someone" calls...but you do. You aren't really sure why you jump up before he wakes up and make him your granny's famous homemade biscuits...but you do. Why are you quick to massage his or her back after a hard day at work. Even better, why are you so concerned with his/her health and methods of getting better when they are sick? You don't know do you? But you are. It takes guts to sit down and actually think about WHY you are doing these things and feeling this way. When you finally decide it's okay to admit that "damnit, this fool got me in love!" I'm sure you're be willing to shout it from the rooftop. And you want the other person to know that the reason you are doing certain things isn't just because you are a nice person, but because you do, in fact, love them. You eventually want them to know that. After a while, though, it is my strong belief that the need for them to know and understand that your actions of kindness are actually actions of love goes away with time and eternal knowing of each other. You catch yourself smiling to yourself when he comes around the corner with a glass of water and some cough syrup when he hears you cough in your sleep a few too many times. Does he need to say "heffa I love you and want you to be healthy" this far into the relationship? No. It's understood....and your smile represents your everlasting knowing and recognition of said love. I feel like, if you need to hear it still...after so many years together you may have more weaknesses in your relationship than you may be willing to admit. If you can't tell if him calling you just to say that he's thinking of you is an action of love but moreso a method of checking to make sure you are still with your friends as previously promised because he's creeping you may want to EXIT, stage right! These are just my personal opinions...I seriously doubt I'm willing to debate anything written here...just sharing my thoughts. PS. I'm at work and sleepy as shit so I'm sorry this is so long and probably unreadable due to typos. My bad!

I prefer women who are expressive and affectionate...I feel like if I as a man can express my feelings in both actions and words, its frustrating to deal with a woman who can't/won't. I mean, I have female friends who tell me they love me often enough, so its unacceptable for a girlfriend to not say it. How soon? As soon as she is sure she feels that way. How often? As often as she is moved to say it, and hopefully that wouldn't be rare. I don't believe that the phrase is unimportant. I agree that actions are more important, but I need to see the actions and hear the words.
