One of the most basic psychological needs, at the core of being human, is the need love and to be loved.

Love is one of Mother Nature’s most powerful forces. It drives us to do all sorts of daring and ridiculous things as we seek to find that special someone and strengthen the connection we have with those significant others already in our lives. Love is a critical cog in the healthy personality wheel of life.

Showing and expressing love, however, is easy for some and nearly impossible for others. Some people seem to have no trouble showing affection and proclaiming their love, while others seem unable to even say the words not to mention show the emotion. It is, however, very important for us to hear those words. Saying “I love you” is good for both parties but it is particularly important for those we love to hear us say it. Those who have trouble saying those words are often very loving people who, even though they don’t say it, show their love in other ways. Even though there is no doubt that they love you, there is no replacement for hearing those three precious words.

If you are one of those people who, for whatever reason, does not tell those you love that you love them, why not make today the day you change that? Choose someone in your life that you truly love and tell them today. There is no greater gift to give them and it will open you up in ways you can’t even imagine!

It's said that women fall in love through their ears and men through their whatchamacallits.

Do you agree or disagree?

Ive never said that word to someone,never gotten the opportunity

Sometimes I lied when I say I love someone.


I don't know how I became use to lying about something that has to do with people's emotion but omo! sometimes after saying it my heart will begin to judge me and being a terrible liar again but they believed me all the time and then starts my journey of pretense ...... ...smh

I hear you.

Some women are tender-hearted but it's best to be gently honest in such situations.

Most men will accept it.

Others though can't and will turn on you, no matter how you relate to them that you don't feel the same way.

It can be a bit tricky, dealing with hurt feelings.

Proceed with utmost caution.
