It shouldn’t be so hard to say I love you. After all, it’s just three little words, right? But it is amazing just how much weight they carry....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
There are people who are trigger-happy when it comes to talking about love. Little kids will throw their arms around your neck with wild abandon and cheer “I love you,” even if you’ve only been babysitting them for a week…CONTINUE READING>>
When we are young, telling someone we love them is like taking a breath, it comes naturally and easily and we are not afraid of making ourselves vulnerable because nothing has hurt us yet.
But as we get older, “I love you” goes from being easy to say, to too hard to say … Then suddenly it’s not enough to just say it.
Because once we’re grown up, we learn that loving someone is about more than just saying the words — it’s about doing the hard work of love.
That’s why, if you want to know if she loves you, look at what she does, not what she says.
Here are 25 ways she tells you she loves you, without saying a word:
1. When she’s squeezing your hand
And you squeeze it right back.
2. When she just looks at you and doesn’t say anything at all
Is she plotting your murder? Who knows.
3. When she invents a million silly pet names for you
Some of them are cute, and some of them shouldn’t be mentioned in front of family.
4. When she likes all of your posts
And then unlikes them so she can like them again.
5. When she tries to win over your cats
It’s not her fault they hate everything and everyone.
6. When she isn’t scared to cry in front of you
Big fat crocodile tears too.
7. When she goes out of her comfort zone to try something you love
She might not like sushi, but she did it for you.
8. When she texts you to tell you about her lunch
Even if it was just an egg salad.
9. When she sends you a makeup-free selfie
She’s still the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen.
10. When she cooks for you
And then you smile as she tries to cook without knowing anything.
11. When she rolls her eyes at you
It’s never with malicious intent.
12. When she loses her temper
This might be with malicious intent.
13. When she reaches out to you in the middle of the night
Just to end up taking the blanket from your side.
14. When she tugs your ear lobes
Sometimes she does it too hard.
15. When she names your ***
The cute little guy isn’t the best name for it, but at least she did it.
16. When she misses you like crazy
And you miss her craziness.
17. When she asks you for what she needs
Communication is the sexiest thing.
18. When she trusts you with her heart
It’s the most precious thing you own.
19. When she expects you to tell her the truth
And you should because you have nothing to hide.
20. When she farts in front of you AND jokes about it
And then you fart right back, and it ends up in a competition.
21. When she gives you a shelf in the bathroom
You have no idea how, as she owns so many skin care products.
22. When she reminds you to take your medicine
You wouldn’t be a sane person without them, or her.
23. When she runs out of things to say and doesn’t force the conversation
Sometimes silence with someone you love is the best thing.
24. When she watches you get dressed in the morning with shining eyes
You’ve never looked sexier to her.
25. When she wraps her arms around you and makes you swear that you will never let her go
How could you? She’s really squeezing you.
Love is one of the best things any of us can do. It takes courage to be vulnerable enough to find what and who you want, so never let anyone tell you otherwise…CONTINUE READING>>
