    He remembers when things make me really happy... or he points out when i'm different or unique from other woman and then loves on those traits...

    He also is very encouraging when i'm about to take a risk or try something new..

    He's got a multitude of ways he shows his love. :)

    I voted for things like cooks and clean and consoles me as well as he tells me a lot.  But I also put other because I feel like he tells me too when we are just hanging out around the house watching TV together and cuddling.  It's the little things when you're both broke and one is still in college, the other just graduated.  Smile

    I answered your poll, but the best way he showed me was that he built me a custom closet for my purses and shoes.  He occasionally makes me jewelry at work, he made me a western belt buckle, a pendant, and a really pretty bracelet.

    DH isn't a guy about big statements. A lot of the times when he buys me things he's WAAAAY off, LOL! Poor guy. BUT he tells me all the time how much he loves me. He always comes in the door and says "Hey beautiful!" with a big smile on his face at the end of the day. He tells me how much he appreciates me doing little things (and big things) for him. If he's feeling particularly lovey he'll bring me home my favourite drink from Starbucks :)  If I'm sick he'll cook all the meals for us and make sure I'm resting. Unfortunately you grouped that one with cleaning, he's not so much about the cleaning until I get frustrated with all his piles and give him heck about it! LOL!

    He hugs and kisses me frequently.  He hold my hand/strokes my arm/twines his leg around mine when we're sitting together.  He also pays the bills and tries to get me to talk when I'm upset....  That's about it.

    My fiance shows it sporadically, but its always really sweet when he does like doing the laundry or getting the food shopping done or making dinner for when I get home. Or when he rubs my back as I'm going to sleep or snuggles with me on weekend mornings :)

    @His Lil SantosGirl: No I have nothing to do with the Bakerella website. I didn't even know about it until someone asked me here on the Bee!!!! LOL! I'm not as creative picking a user name as I thought ;)

    I think that he shows me he loves me by just trying to make me happy. If I go home for the weekend he cleans. He's made me picnics in the back yard. If I mention something, he remembers. If we get into a fight about something, he doesn't do the same thing that pissed me off before again. He gets up with my dog every morning so I can sleep an extra fifteen minutes. He cracks me up. Just all that little stuff ya know :)

    My fiance isn't really the romantic type. He'll occasionally send flowers on a birthday or Valentine's Day. As far as finances, we're 50-50 on what we pay.

    He is more the type to show his love by actions rather than words. He'll help cook and clean, he carried 80 bags of topsoil from the car to the garden thing spring, things like that. And he's supportive of my decisions and things I want to do. This year I started showing one of my dogs in AKC dog shows, he has gone to nearly every single dog show with me.

    We're always on the same team. If either one of us has a problem, we join forces to fix it. And if there's ever a disagreement between us, we work it out rather than letting it fester. Also, if I ask him to do something and he knows it will affect my level of happiness, it gets done. For instance, I can deal with clutter only up to a point; whereas he would be content just clearing a path through mounds of stuff. Whenever it gets bad enough to make me twitchy, I ask him to clean up his stuff and he does, usually within a matter of hours.

    In addition, he does a ton of stuff that was on your list - he makes dinner almost every night (usually just simple stuff, like microwaving a can of soup, but it means I don't have to worry about it), we split up the chores, he covers a lot of our money needs (he makes about 3-4 times as much as I do), he tells me he loves me and is affectionate all the time, he listens when I'm upset and only offers advice when I ask, we go out to eat all the time, and he's always supported my choices.

    I'm really lucky Smile

    SO and I are pretty flat-out with each other. We blatantly say "I love you" to each other literally ALL THE TIME! It's almost become a habit. You know those moments that you just look over at each other when the other isn't looking and think how much you love this person? And how often those moments are? We actually say "I love you" pretty much everytime that happens.

    Sappy? Absolutely. But it's true and it's honest.

    Oh, and he pays all the bills ;-)
