How many time do you tell your lover that you love him/her?

I often tell my lover that I love her, but I only tell the magic words to her because I am genuinely in love with her. I will never get tired of telling her every day how much love I feel for her. Everything that she does seems to be so magical at times that I cannot help but utter the words of love.

I do not tell her that I love when we are chatting or sending messages to each other, but when we get the chance to talk on the phone, that is the time when we would begin to share the things that have occurred throughout the day until such time when we are both ready to sleep. I tell her I love her every night so that she will not forget.

I tell my lover that I love her every single day. There is not a day that passes without me telling the person that I love her. I may not say I love you often in person though. I always say it through text or sometimes on the phone. When I say I love you in person, this means that I truly mean it. I do put a lot of feeling into saying I love you because I believe that if it is said often, it starts to lose its meaning.

How many people have said I love you to other people without truly experiencing love for that person? I am also affectionate towards my friends. I do not tell them that I love them unless I actually do. This probably explains why I only have a few close friends.
