I don't expect anything...other than to be loved in action as well as words...I don't even expect to hear it back...I only want to hear those words when they are meant...not out of an obligation...
samora77: What is expected after you say "I LOVE YOU"
Love in return, in various forms, that is ... not just words ... even a nod or a smile can be a comforting confirmation. Nothing in particular to be 'expected' ...
While as a man I am aware of all the things women expect/not expect from their man/spouse:
I do expect to care and provide for my children and family. I know it is my duty to protect them to the best of my ability. I need to set a good example for my children and to show them that I love and appreciate them and my spouse. I do expect to spend quality time with them and to plan vacations together. I want to be a respected member of the community in which I live. More later.
For my spouse, I expect to be able to discuss important issues and make decisions together. I expect to put her first and to not do things that make her doubt my love. In the area of intimacy, I see it as my duty to make every effort to ensure that we both get satisfaction.
I think that you are asking this question in relation to husband and wives, but if it is just a new relationship: Spending time together. Being friends. Getting to know each other. Possible getting married.

I would hope that he respond it by saying i love you too. But most times I hear that he doesn't have to say it because I say it. Well actions speak louder than words so a hug would be nice.
Lonley 1....... I agree with every thing you have said ..except for the part of being..... your duty.....I don't like that word. It's both you responsiblity to ensure satisfaction. THANK'S
