What Makes You Feel Loved?

Just a thought I've been pondering...different people have different ways of expressing/recognizing affection. I'm curious as to what fits those standards for other people.

Me, I'm simple, I guess. In no particular order: initiating a conversation with me, finding my stupid little stories interesting, trusting me, little gifts to show you thought of me, remembering things about me and what I like, writing me letters, especially (although a phonecall or e-mail is almost as nice), actually carrying through something you promised to do for me.

And you?

Pretty much exactly what you said. #^__^#

Note that in my case, the difference is between an online or IRL relationship - when you don't get to see a person on a daily/weekly basis in the flesh, it means so much to get a little reminder that they're thinking of you. IRL I'm happy just to goof around with people, it's not so important to talk or whatever cos they're right there.

I also still tend to be shy, so either I'll not say or do anything much or I'll suddenly run/GLOMP/squee...if you see what I mean.
