What makes YOU feel loved

whatmakesyoufeelloved3I was discussing romance with someone yesterday and he asked me that question. What makes me feel loved? It’s rare that I don’t have a quick answer but I said I’d have to think about it. I have in mind what I should do to express or show my love for J and I know I should do these things more often. I have never sat down to think about what it is he could do for me that would make me feel loved. Obviously he does it because I feel incredibly loved. I just can’t put my finger on it and at my age I should know what makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You know the kind of feeling I’m talking about. The feeling that REALLY makes you want to jump their bones when they walk into a room.

For many of us, finding the right way to show our love and affection is difficult. Sadly some people show their love and affection in ways that aren’t always appreciated or recognized by their partnera. Many may simply be too caught up in the daily distractions of life, work, and family and fail to constantly show their partner how much they mean to them.

Because no two people are alike, it’s only natural for there to be no generic way to show someone how much you love them. Many times we may be showing our love to our partner without them even recognizing it, or it being what they really want. Unless the things you do to express and show your love is one of the things that make your partner feel loved, its quite likely it will go unrecognized or under appreciated, even if you put a lot of effort into it.

So even if you aren’t in a relationship right now, take the time to decide what it is that makes YOU feel loved. It might help you to recognize the right person when he or she comes along.

    I’m not sure that it matters what makes us feel loved, I think it’s more about who and how we love, if that makes any sense. Here’s one of my favorite quotes that I think touches on the subject nicely:

    “You are what you love, not what loves you.”

    Very interesting post! There was a part in a book I read not too long ago (the name escapes me) that talked about the differences in showing and receiving love. Recognizing sometimes that we show love like we like to receive it is important to realizing that another person may not receive it as love.

    I think I know what makes me feel love and I am definitely not feeling the love as of late.

    A woman lived in high spirit if she knew that his partner is so much into her.

    This is an article worth sharing to people who often feel unloved… I feel that I’m loved when many people tries to reach out on me, and even if there are people who tends to show their affection by getting mad at me, that’s alright!

    I think we don’t even recognize the things that makes us feel loved. In your loving way you have defined ways to let love touch our heart. Our children makes us feel loved. Their arrival made us give unconditional love.

    To feel being loved you should also love your partner the way you want him to reciprocate.Give and Get love is my theory.

    I support and agree with this point.
