Hmm... I would rather say that I'm more of the physical expression of love. Playing with hair, touching a foot, hugging (at which I'm extremely good), and such things. I don't have trouble saying that, but I don't come from the kind of background where saying such things was encouraged. Though I must say, grandpa use to call each grandchild mi amor (my love). Last thing I did when I saw him alive for the last time was giving him a hug. It's a good thing that I did that because he died two days afterwards.
I think it's a important thing to show it. Saying it is also good. And I don't think you're off the idea with all this speech you gave. I like the idea of losing it. It might happen if I ever get something like that thrown at me because I'm pretty much the same kind of guy that despises that kind of immature behavior.
