Do men know what love is.....

You don't have to be intimate to love someone. Many things can be done to prove that love not just by those intimate things. Love is a strange feeling and not merely something you can get through intimacy.

I think men do know what love is, they just don't say it unless they absolutely mean it. There's also a difference too when they say that they love somebody. There is the love of that special woman, then there is the love of a friend that's like a sister to them. In the absence of hugs, kisses, or any form of intimacy, then I would definitely think that man thinks of me as a loving sister, and not as somebody who is their true love. Actions speak louder than words, so they may indeed love her, but not in that 'soul mate', 'she's my woman' type of love. That kind of is in the same vein as saying: I love you, but I'm not IN love with you.

Hmm... I know that intimacy is a part of the relationship and its also an important part of it. Although there are other ways to show affection towards a mate. Question though, is this guy you bf or your husband? If he is a bf, maybe he is just showing respect. Now, if he is already your husband, then I think there is something seriously wrong with him (sorry). There are ways a person can show love and affection, now it's up to you to realize this from him. How do you think he shows you that he loves you, without kissing and hugging and all that intimate stuff? Maybe then you'll realize his true feelings for you.

There are lot of things on how to show your love. It doesn't mean that if you don't kiss, hug or showing any intimacy moments shows he doesn't love you. You can feel it on how he say it. You can sense it, if he says it sincerely or not. Maybe he loves you but can't kiss you and hug you because he respects your values and maybe he's waiting for the right time and place. The other thing is that maybe he loves you as a friend and not as lover.

Well love just does not mean kissing, hugging and intimacy.......LOVE has got a far more deep meaning to it.....infact you should be glad that he is not being intimate with you so soon......many guyz get into a relationship just so that they could be physical with that girl and then leave her....... Love is certainly sacred and many few understand that, sometimes getting intimate too soon can gets things bad.......wait for sometime, let things proceed gradually......till then i feel one should enjoy the company of their respective partners......
