Especially when directly asked what you're is thinking and why your response or reaction to something was ___? I don't really have a problem with this. My emotions are held back by an internal dam ready to break at about any time, but it may not be this way for all 5s. I find that words are a much easier way of expressing myself than by actions. I constantly told my ex-wife how much I loved her in how many different ways, etc etc but I didn't really DO enough things like buy flowers, take her out on a special or unique date, whatever. I guess 5s in love just have to remember that sometimes actions speak louder than words, and that to many e-types this is a core belief of their main type (my ex was a 1). But even if you are dating another 5 I think that person needs more than just talk and reassurances of love. In your free time think of creative dates or, heck, even buy a book since 5s love to read. Just try some of the ideas out no matter how cheesy and you might be surprised how much they work. : Also, how do you show you care on a daily basis...I seem to have problems with this also...most of the time I think I'm expressing myself and think everything is okay, only to find out my actions and words have been completely misinterpreted...any advice anyone?
