Please note that when I say, I don't understand something below, I mean I don't understand it; I'm not criticising, just expressing my inability to connect to that kind of thinking, a flaw in me, not in others.
I also can't quite connect to the, "I don't say it; I show it with my actions." These two things aren't mutually exclusive. You can show your love through what you do and tell the other person you love them often.
One last thought. Isn't part of loving someone doing things that show your love? And if you're with someone who needs the words, wouldn't telling them be one of those things you could do to show your love?
There are days I'd kill to hear my father tell me, just once, that he loves me.

well, for me, i would prefer to show it through my actions, because back in the day when i had a SO i didn't get to see her everyday and since we were both in school, calls weren't exactly possible except at night when we were usually busy either with work, or simply because her parents were kind of strict and didn't like her spending that much time with me, so every time i saw her, i would like to show her that she meant a lot to me....
perhaps some people are getting me wrong.. it's not as if i NEVER said it to her.. it's just that i don't say it as often as other people.
that's where i'd differ again... i'd rather my dad show me that he loved me.. simply by spending some time with me.... he can tell me he loves me if he wants, but i'm not going to feel any better if he doesn't back it up with actions
