I show love through my actions, like cleaning, or cooking, or leaving him notes and gifts. I love really talking to my guy too, about things that matter where we both use our brains.I love hearing him talk about his success at work. Big fan of the cuddling too.
Verbally, physically, sometimes with food and gifts. But most of all, when I'm willing to drop everything to help and support that person, that is the ultimate sign of affection from me.
I kiss him goodbye and tell him I love him everyday, I text him sweet things to let him know he's in my thoughts...I offer massages if he's tired, scratch his back if he's itchy....we hold hand...I just like to be close to him...
being calm
I like leaving little cute drawings in places where she'll find them. I love her reaction to every one of them.
Cuddling, talking, cooking together
We are world champion cuddlers!!!

I pay attention. I think that's the single most important way to express affection. I listen, I store information, I let my partner know he is the most important thing in my life.
saying how i feel about them and buying presents.
I express affection by talking and touching -- when I make more of an effort to touch someone, it means I care about them a lot, because I don't touch people often. I also show affection by gifts or doing things for them, which is another thing I rarely do because I'm stingy with money and I don't think to do things for someone unless it has some significance half the time. Staying by them, putting up with them, trying to help them, and being honest mean I care. I'm rambling now...
Grooming;)
Touching, listening, gifts (time, food, etc.)
keeeeeseees
by hugging and kissing ..
By doing nice things for him (fixing dinner, tidying up, unsolicited notes, etc), although I'm trying to be better about being physically affectionate.
You are who you are...if it's not really in your nature to be annoyingly cuddly like I am, then it's not in your nature! lol. I love you for who you are!
Aw, you're not "annoyingly" anything. It's something I'm working on bc I want to be more affectionate!
