Wow.
I'd be really hurt if I'd asked a significant other why/if he loved me and he just rolled his eyes or gave me a flippant reply.
If you knew for sure that the person loved you you wouldn't have to ask. Maybe your signifcant others ask because they are feeling insecure? Or maybe they just want to hear it.
How hard is it to show a little affection? What does it cost you?

Saying I love you Is not the words I want to hear from you Its not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me Cos Id already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldnt make things new Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now Ive tried to talk to you and make you understand All you have to do is close your eyes And just reach out your hands and touch me Hold me close dont ever let me go More than words is all I ever needed you to show Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me Cos Id already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldnt make things new Just by saying I love you
More than words

To whom are you addressing this, DCS?

The bold is kind of the point I was trying to address. My significant other should know for sure how I feel about her. I demonstrate it every day and we have been together for 10 years. So to ask such a question I find silly and so I give a silly answerer.
Nothing changed since the last time she asked such a question, and what's more what other answer could I give her besides the one she wants to hear whether I agreed to it or not.
For example if she asked me "Am I the prettiest girl here?" how would I answer? Logic of course dictates that there are two basic answers to this question "Yes" because she is in fact the prettiest girl there or "No" because she is not the prettiest girl there. But in realty all I could ever answer is with "Yes" whether I agreed with it or not, because saying "No" would make her angry and it would not be something she would want to hear. So what is the point of asking a question where there can only be one answer just to hear that answer. It becomes a silly question so I would answer in a silly way. Most of the time to this particular question I answer "To me you are" – which by the way truthfully is the most correct answer, but it's still not the one she wants to hear.
"Do you love me?" after 10 years also becomes a silly question. If my answer is in fact "No" we have a serious problem and if I haven’t addressed it with her yet the silly prompt is not going to cause me to address it at that time. So again there could only possibly be one answer "Yes" whether it is the truth or not. Why ask a question where there could only be one possible answer?

Maybe the bigger more important question is do you want to get any? :lol: j/k

Interesting read.
From what I read here I gather it's easier for some men to express it than others but I guess what I really would like to know is if the men here in relationships want to hear it for themselves or even need to hear it.
Would you appreciate it if your wife or girlfriend told you every once in a while she loved you?
Does it make her a weaker person for saying it? Do actions speak louder than words?
Personally, I'm a ham. If I could, I'd say it everyday.

Some times that is the more important question and it dictates its own set of answers.

Its not the saying 'I love you' part, its looking in their eyes.
Taking advantage of daddy recognition, what is programmed into baby girls, and not baby boys (boys are programmed to go mushy and be subdued by the daughter look, girls are programmed to look into big guys eyes and subdue them).
You have to be taller than them, try it next time you have a fight with your lady, keep your head and body still, look straight into their eyes and say something reassuring in a low voice, keep your eyes on their eyes.
Its why some guys never have a clue about women, they dont look in the eyes enough to work out what some looks mean, too busy looking further down
