For someone whose love language is verbal affirmation, I adore hearing the words "I love you" from someone that means a great deal to me. I recently have opened up my arms to other ways that people express how much they love me, that don't necessarily have the word "love" in them. The following is a list of things that people say and do, that make me feel pretty darned loved.

1. "Are you okay?"

2. "Do you need anything?"

3. "Yes, I'll buy you tampons."

4. Buys tampons for me.

12. "Text me if you need anything"

13. "Can I buy you a gift?"

14. "I want to get you something special"

15. "Text me when you get there"

16. "Please don't text and drive"

17. "Drive safely"

34. "Let's do zumba together?"

35. "Make sure you wear your seat belt"

36. "Please don't talk to strangers"

37. "Always look around you if you're in a strange place"

48. "I believe in you"

49. "I trust you"

50. "I want to be with you forever"

I constantly feel loved around the people that are most important to me. Don't forget that some people show their love in actions, in caring for you and about you, and in so many other ways than just "I love you".
