Men…is this true: Can a woman ever express her love or affection for you too much?

This is a question I often ponder. I’m naturally very loving and affectionate. Like when I’m with someone, I have no problem expressing my love for them through text or phone call whenever I get the urge lol. But I try not to do it too much because apparently people say it turns men off when you do that. Like it seems as if you’re chasing them. But if we are together, why does me expressing my love to you make me creepy or overbearing lmao. It’s like you never really know what to do. Like why do we have to play games to keep someone who so called loves us interested. Why can’t we just rest and feel comfort in our love lol? Just a few thoughts. No my partner has not made me feel less than for showing my love to him. But so many articles and so called love gurus go against it. Pretty much saying we will annoy them and push them away if we text first too much, or always initiate contact first, or say you love them too much. Apparently we need to cause men to always want to chase us in order to keep them interested. Thats ridiculous. If we love each other, it should simply be that. No games, so my question is, is this true?? Men??

I dunno who you're listening to but that's some very poor advice.

Everyone enjoys true, genuine, heartfelt appreciation and love

Showing love is nothing like overbearing. Nobody has time to chasing anyone, especially when it comes to starting a family or building a home.

I hate that nonsense and for any man who hasn't been converted to a simp by modern western society, that type of nonsense makes him leave to check who isn't a waste of time cuz everybody's got stuff to do

@sexyjigsaw It’s just things I’ve been hearing from these modern dating gurus lol. I’m not taking the advice. I’m still going to be my loving self lol. I just wanted to ask what you guys think.

@Saucylover modern dating gurus are clowns. The whole concept of dating is for serial daters. And serial daters who run through partners are nor marriage material who fight their own demons and problems, change, and put their family/spouse first. And that's what we long for.

Often times, the advice will be selfish and exploitative.

Be you. Be strong. Love is essential. In a relationship, ironically, it is about the other. Being loving, caring, and sweet is never a bad thing unless someone is afraid of being touched by your love because they are not truly interested in being attached to you.

Continue on and try to avoid the insidious ideas going around that destroy relationships cuz anyone can date and pick a partner. What they never teach is how to be loving and express your love and how to get over yourself and make sacrifices for a relationship to work.
