Lucky you!
the problem with the cypriots is that not only have they not learned to say i love you, but they themselves were never told from their parent that they love them, also its like a macho thing with the cypriots as if one becomes a sissy or one becomes weak the truth of the matter is its alctualy takes strenth to say i love you its the caresteristic of the strong not the weak to say i love you.
thats why maybe 400 people have looked at this thread and very few have said i love on the human level,
Free-cyprus, I understand what you are saying but is not always the case you know. Men in Cyprus have changed, they are less macho than they were in old times and they say I love you more easily. Some say i love you every min...like your self (and some of them do not mean it really) and some others once a year or never. By the way i do not think that is only a Cypriot thing.
As for the number of people who saw this thread and did not reply... well have you ever thought that many of those times were you and me reading the posts
I already expressed my self on the matter of love and how easily or meaningless/-full it is for some people so i will stay back with that for a while.
lena this is a universal thing not just a cypriots thing cors its not
but i wanted to tell everyone in this forum that i love them
even though some of them make me mad with the rubbish they post regarding cyprus, but i have the confidence to forgive them to, and i have the confidence to say i love you to them.
Free-cyprus, is your right to feel that way and want to say that you love them, but respect that they might not feel the way you feel. Also, when you say "I love you" do not expect the same reaction back. As Eliko said (if I am not wrong) the love thing is not something you plan, and for sure is not something that you always express with words.
But hey I do respect you
i dont expect anything from anyone leno thats why im seldom disapointed, the kind of love im talking about is the love you can tell a friend, brother or sister or daughter or son mother or father
Ok, ok, I give in. We can all love each other. Some more than the others. What has more power than words is the way we show that we love the other person. Our acts of love are more effective than just saying ' I love you'. When one is loved, they know it. When one loves it is as obvious as daylight. You can never be mistaken. As to the words, they mean nothing.

to show you love another person through body language is unspoken words that one thinks without saying them there is no other know way to show love without actualy thinking about the spoken word even if you do not say them they have to be there in your mind in order to convey them to the recipient throught your body language and your eyes
The body languages you refer to and what I am saying are two different things. The expression of love, as I am repeating myself, is not just in those words. You cay say it a thoussnd times, but if the actions or behaiviour towards the loved one is not there, the words alone mean nothing. I am not talking 'basic instincts' here, ok?
OK, you love GetReal, he is having a laugh. He would dearly love you to show that love in other ways than words.
