The biggest lesson you've learnt from your past relationships is that a person's words mean nothing unless they're supported by actions. The way someone feels about you is reflected in the way they treat you. How they make an effort to spend time with you, how when they're with you, they give you their full time and attention, and how they remind you, even when they're not around, that they're thinking of you. When a person cares for you and is serious about wanting you in their life, that intention will be visible in the little things they do. Yes, it's important to communicate what you're thinking and feeling, too. It always is. But love is best felt when it comes across through the other person's actions. It just makes it more real because while saying you care is easy to do, proving you care is difficult. It requires patience and real effort, and when someone is willing to do that for you, that gives you more confidence to trust that they're being honest with you.
