Is it important to have your love validated?

Hello dear...it is a nice topic..and it took me into my past years. You see , it depends , from person to person...and from generation to generation...and to some extend ...culture to culture.. Now a days , when you look around...you see " LOVE " is instant and disposable.I don't want to hurt anybody , there are people in this age who love some one , from depth of their HEARTS. When I was of your age ,and I met my LOVE ( she is my life partner now) ..we always use to speak through EYES.I don't remember ,I had told her I LOVE YOU...May be because , I am more practical , and less emotional.And believe in deed than words....

YES! If a girl says, "I love you" to a guy, and vice-versa, then that person better say it back because if that person does not feel the same way then you need to stop wasting your time with them. When I told my boyfriend that I first loved him, you better believe that I wanted a response back. If it was an "I love you, too" or just "I love you", then I knew to move forward with him, if I did not hear it at all, or if I heard a "no", then I knew to quit wasting my time. I was not pressuring him, I just wanted to make sure that he was the one, but heck, I knew that the minute I met him or I would not have said it, and he knew it the moment he met me. Believe it or not, love does happen, and it happens when you are not seeing it coming. I never, ever, thought that I would ever fall in love, and I had never said "I love you" to anyone before I met my boyfriend. I had been on plenty of dates and met many of men who just were not the right ones for me. I knew that when my boyfriend walk through the door and smiled at me that he was the one. My heart really felt like it was going to leap out of my chest that day.

it depends on the person.some think that it is always necessary when the partner admit it clearly rather than any sign. some say they can learn from signs,.

As many would say, actions speak louder than words. Love shown in actions seem really affectionate and heartfelt. But for people who like to be told, I love you, by their partners, it's also good. That's just a way for them to validate it. Above all, once trust and faith are there, there'll be no problem.

hmmmm, as for me, i love to hear that too...but i dont like it come out very often, i mean it has 2 b the right time and right place, and that three words : I love u, will make me feel secure and being loved ^_^

your friend is right! even tho you know yr partner love you, it is always good to hear him confessing his love to you. I've been with my darling of 7 years and these three words are still on our lips. We say it each others every day. And it is always a joy to hear him say those three words! :)

Sometimes, we are blinded by our own judgment. More often than not if we like a guy so much, every single thing that he does for you will have a meaning. What if it was just "us" girls giving meaning to it? I think it is important for a woman to hear it to a guy first before embracing the thought that he really is into you. I had a friend whom I really really liked. We are classmates back in college and he was my ultimate crush then. We bumped into each other after 13 years and he treated special. He texts me to say good morning, he calls to tell me his whereabouts, and he says goodnight every single night for the past two months. Even my male friends are telling me that he really is into me. They said "no guy would exert so much effort to say good morning and good night everyday, plus the fact that he always tells you his whereabouts." But apparently we are all wrong about this. I made a joke one time asking him "you are falling for me, aren't you?". well, it wasn't really a joke but I made it look like a joke so that won't look stupid if I'd be rejected. And true enough after that joke he started to back off a little. So I think it really is very important if you know the guy's real intention before you assume that what you feel or see is real.
