Search Results: feeling love emotion

I know guys are taught to be less verbal and more physical. As in, to express their feelings and emotions, actions are better with words.

My boyfriend is not the king of compliments. He barely compliments me. I feel like I have to fish It out from him in order to get compliments, etc. When we first dated he did it more often (been together for a few months) but now it's not as often.

I am a woman and it's always nice to hear her man say "you look beautiful" or "Im so lucky to have you". That only happened in the beginning but not anymore. He told me he doesn't do cheesy stuff and he's only been in one serious relationship before me (we're in a serious relationship) so he claims he doesn't know how to behave, especially around me. and no, we are not teenagers. we're both grown adults!

But I do take his physical signs as affection and love for me. For example, he cooks for us. But... I'm not sure if this indeed a sign or not.


My questions are:
1- is this ok since guys are not really verbal?
2- how do guys show their affection by being physical? I need examples
