Say it or Show it?

Love, love, love...How often do you say I love you? It wouldn't matter to some because others would prefer to just rather show it than say it. Action speaks louder than words, they say. But there are times that we long to hear those words from someone we love. It's like food for the heart and soul. Of course it is important to show love, but for me, it is as important as to saying it. How about you?

According to me.. "If you hate someone tell it, its better than showing it.. And If you love someone Show it, its better than telling it.." Take care :)

people must say but also must show it. this happened many times to me that guys said i love you and never showed it and then i always was the one caring more and getting hurt bcs they didnt really loved me as much as they say. actions mean more than words trust me. if someone says it to you and doesnt show it you wont be happy. if someone shows it in so many ways you will know he loves you and those actions already say he does. even sure we must do both things but for sure actions means more than words^^

i don't mind if he seldom says he loves me just as long as he showers me with all the acts of love he could offer.., what are words if they don't mean it at all.., right?

Say it, show it. As long as the other party gets the message, it's fine.

Me and my husband both say I love you to each other many times in one day but there are also those times that we just show it. My daughter and her now husband show their love but not as much as they say it. To them showing is better because you can feel the love. But there are days where they say it more because he does something or she says something first. It's cute to watch young love and newly-weds.

I talk the talk and I walk the walk.. I say that I love you as well as showing it to the one I love. I am the kind of person who hides what I feel from other people but shows almost everything to that special person. I am expressive in a way that I think makes our relationship and what I feel special. It's important showing more than saying because it shows how much we love someone through our actions. As what they say "actions speak louder than words". Best of luck

Anyone can speak the words "I love you" it doesn't always mean the feeling is real. Showing love puts your soul, heart and emotion out there for anyone to see. You know the feeling is real by what is done in the name of love and not just the words uttered callously.

It's just as important to say and to show it. Perhaps the best thing is to match them to the appropriate situations. Say it when the circumstances demand or show it likewise. It's nice to see and to hear as much as to show and to say "I love you". It's one of the most beautiful emotions in life. It's contagious. That's how love grows.

I always say I love you to the one I love. Maybe it's just that I'm very vocal to what I feel. I also show him how much I love him. But for my partner, it's more on showing how he feels for me. He's not very vocal to say it.

For me it's really a big deal saying i love you to the person that you love. I mean if you really felt it then why not flaunt it. On my case as much as possible, I am saying I love you to the person that I love before I regret not saying it to them. But of course it would be better to show how you really love that person by showing it to him/her because the best way to show your feelings is by doing it.

For me,I want my partner to show it more rather than to say it. People can lie in saying about their feelings,some are too good with it that the person he/she's talking to won't see that it's a lie. But with actions.you can feel if it's true or not. But of course anyone will make their love ones more happy if they'll say the words I LOVE YOU. Still the sweetest words to hear. :)

Well, i don't have a girl friend to say or show Love.. I have seen my friends telling " I Love You" to their girls often.. I have witnessed it many times with many of my friends..They speak in phone, they say it atleast 6 times as if i don't care what they were talking if i'm present in that place.. I don't know what is meant by showing Love..Sorry i have no experience !!

Anybody can say i love you and not mean it, but there are actions, tings we can do that show that we actually love someone. Of course there are thing that people can tell us and it will make us melt but there are things that we can show that proves love even more.

i want to do both... :) i want to say and do it all at the same time.. eheh!! to express love is to do almost everything. i believe that in order to be loved, we also have to give love. the only thing a person needs to take note when loving is not to give everything to the p-erson we love. because the hardest part in loving is being heartbroken... to love or to be loved... eheeh happymylotting

Everybody can say it, even if the person doesn't mean it. Especially if she/he is frivolous. My opinion is if you say it, proof it as well by action. :)

You have to do both. Saying isn't enough without actions supporting it. Actions aren't enough, people do have to be reminded verbally that you love them. I know my boyfriend loves me very much. I see how much he has sacrificed and I can see his efforts in trying to make me happy. However I still need to hear him say that he loves me. And if he merely says it without reinforcing what he's saying with actions, then I probably won't believe him as much.

i love you wont mean anything if said numerously..just like a routine, it goes over and over again. Yes, i love you is a sacred word which people say to someone they love..but love would be meaningful if said and done
