As a girl, i think that love can be expressed in endless ways, but its the little things that count. (although i wouldnt say no to flowers every once in a while :)
From expressing it in front of everyone, to the way you look at eachother.
Simply having someone to hold me when i need them too or just because and know that they love me, would feel incredable and fufilling. I would feel content and beautiful in my own skin and that means more to me that a kiss. Sex is for marrage and it can be the ultimate bond that need to be filled with true love. Plus, Once your married, you know FOR SURE that the person you married must really love you too.
So basically, Instead of risking everything with a person you MIGHT be with for the rest of your life, enjoy the little things. Thats what I plan to do. :) <3

I think love can be expressed in so many great ways! You could show you care by being interested in the others hardships and problems. Giving flowers or "just because" gifts once in a while is a great way to tell someone you are there for them,appriciate and love them. A simple gesture like a hug or a smile can bring two people together it doesn't have to go to the extreme. Just talking can be a great way to communicate love for one another too!

I am honestly so totally inexperienced with girls that I wouldn't even know which way was up and which way was down if I managed to ask a girl out AND they said yes. I would be like a blumbering idiot. I am however smart enough to know that the first time you go on a date with someone, you don't say "Hey lets have sex!". It just doesn't work that way. I think thought that for the guys, its definetly not going happen when they are 40. And for the girls, yea, I belive most of you girls can and will wait. But as Mr.G said we guys are morons.

I think that people can express their love for each other in tons of ways. Not just sex. Yes sex is one form of love. But most likely it is not true love. Unless the two people know that they are truly in love and will be with each other for the rest of their life, or most of it. Like i said before there are plenty of ways of expressing your feelings for one and other. Even down to the simplest things, like a box of chocolates when your having a bad day. The little things go a long way. It just lets the boyfriend/girlfriend know that you are still in love with them.
So for speaking for the girls.... i think that girls wouldnt rush into anything. they would take it slow. They would want to get to know the person they like. And then possibly in the future have sex.
But for the guys. im not sure. from what i heard in class today. Most of the guys would have sex with a girl they didnt like just to have sex. And ITS WRONG.!
So yes there are alot more ways to express your love for you boyfriend/girlfriend.

There are millions of ways to express love other than sex. Just talking can show you love someone. Hugs and kisses are great too. The perfect kiss at the perfect time is just amazing. Sex is like the top of the "what to do with your girlfriend ladder" and it shouldn't be done unless your really and truly in love with them. :)MATT(:

i agree with matt and jenna just holding your significant other can help in moment and make them feel like they are wanted and i think the perfect kiss can always help also when you go somewhere far away getting her a present no matter how small she knows it came from you and she will love it...also clothes(hats,sweatshirts, and tees) will also show that the girl that you want them to have something to remember you by with something to wear of yours...comforting them when they are down also helps...but in my opion there is a million ways to show someone you love them before sex could even come into the equation of love because as i have said earlier all that can be done first and if you both truly believe you love each other then maybe sex can happen but until the moment that the guy stops thinking with his pants that wont happen and he will know when he truly loves you and he will know when you truly love him but as mr g always says guys are dumb and if a girl was on top of him he wouldent say no..but there are exceptions to the rule and i think we should all wait until atleast 18 to make a mature and responsible choice for themselfs..but soo much could show you love someone other then sex...

I love everyone's responses and i agree! Love and affection can be expressed in sooooo many other ways than sex. Like Jenna said, i think love can be expressed in a billion different ways. Anything even a hug or a kiss shows that your boyfriend/girlfriend is thinking about you. I know the tiniest things can cheer me up on a bad day. Just knowing that someone's think about me makes me smile like craZy(: So yes, love and affection cann be expressed in maaannnyyy other ways then sex.
Also John, i like what you said about giving a girl a present or gift, no matter how small, will always mean something to her. Every little thing that comes from a boyfriend/girlfriend means something to the other person...if that makes sense. hahah i can't really explain it but i did my best(:

I agree with what everyone said. There are soooo many other ways to express your love for someone other than sex. Like Emilee said, the smallest things can make a girl smile and have a good day because of it. Just by a hug or kiss or making them smile or laugh can make their day and know that they love you. Love isnt only expressed in sex, there are sooo many other ways to show someone you love them.

You can defiantely express love in other ways than sex. I know that to make a girl feel good you could give her a hug compliment her. The one that would get me to fall in love would be when a guy calls you beautiful instead of hot. The word hot sounds like I'm calling you this because I want you....EW.... Like John said even a little gift could light up a girls day. I'm really not sure what a guy would want to hear from his girlfriend to let him know she loves him and I really don't want to be in a guys mind so yea the smallest things you boys say mean the most to girls......do for the guys who have girl friends and wantto impress her and show her you love her read some of the girls blogs because that is going to give you alot if help

i like how emilee described hers. it was said well meaning how every little thing means something to a girl or guy. affection doesnt have to be shown through sex. holding hands, hugs, kisses, just letting or girlfriend or boyfriend kow that your thinking about them.

one, this is to the guys. just listen to your girlfriends. when they are speaking you are listening. if you do not you will regret it later. they might be telling you something important!
second, another to the guys. if your lady is feeling down or isnt feeling that great you gotta try and comfort her with a hug or and simple touch to the shoulder and ask em how they're doing, and again like i said before if you do ask how theyre doing, listen to what they say!!!
third, make them feel special. like jenna said in class, guys you gotta make your girl the center of your universe. and like mr g said, treat them like they're goddesses. because they are. women are truly goddesses and they diserve but EVERY guy to be treated like one.

Love can be expressed in so many ways.As most people already said just a simple gift shows that u care. To show that you truely love them you should never lie to them. If you never lie to a girl they always know they can trust you. Complimenting them and telling them nice things they want to he also shows how much you love them. One of the most important thing to do is to always treat them nice. you never ignore them. If you use all of these tips you can stongly express to a girl that you truely love her.

I agree with eveyone there are so many other ways to express love to someone than sex. Just a simple kiss or hug can let someone know you really care about them. Just knowing that someone is thinking about you can make you feel loved. So sex is not the only way to express love sometimes just little things can make u feel loved

i think that if you make any moment significant.. a girl will appritiate it. like even if its just holding hands or talking or the gift for no reason. it really makes a girl know that your thinking about her, which to me is what i want most;for my boyfriend to always be thinking about me. simple as that.

Like Jenna said there are a billion ways you can show a girl or oy how much you love them by not having sex. Making the moment significant will make any girl happy and appritiate it. hugs, kisses, holding hands, like jess said callign her beautifful instead of hot is what every girl wants to be called. When your called hot it just makes it sound like the onyl reason you like me is because you want sex. Just to know that your boyfriend is thinking of you and cares about you is what girls want, its as simple as that.

I believe some ways to avoid sex but show love are buy flowers, chocolates, do whatever your girlfriend wants besides sex, help her with anything she needs. Tell her you love her if you really mean it and If you realy love them the boy can even ask the girl to marry him.

I think there are many ways to express your love other than sex. I personally love hugs. I think they can say so much in so little and make you happier. I think before everyone does it they think its such a big deal, but once its done people wonder why they didnt wait.
