How do I express this?

When my girlfriend asks me how much I love her I freeze and my mind goes blank. I am lost as to what to do because I do love her but I can't express this love. I don't understand how to even put a measure on love. I don't know what to do and google is no help at all. Don't mistake this for a teenagers post and say I'm too young for this kind of thing. I'm 22 right now, Can you basilers give me some good questions to think about in order to finally express myself?

Ask her how much she loves you. Base your answer from hers.

@romperz What is love anyway?

Just bust out a cliche.
[i]"Words can never express how much I love you"[/i]

or just tell her you love her so much that it confused you enough to go ask a MapleStory Forum what to do about your inexplicable feelings to reassure her that her love is not unrequited.

I'm saying I love you when you don't is meaningless. The only way to prove you love her is to show her how much you care. Do something fun/special with her?

How old do you think the average Chat Basiler is?

OP: Say you love her infinitely and your deepest desire is to pleasure her entire being.

Insecure people only cause problems in relationships...you are obviously with them for a reason because you like her! She/He/They (I dont judge) needs to get over these needless insecurities as it is not helping anyone. Look at Jesus for example...he received gold for his first birthday! Imagine the pressure that was immediately placed on everyone leading up to his second birthday!

I just tested it on my Fiance (lol..) and asked him how much he loves me
and he said "Lots<3" That's plenty enough for me
So there. You can't really put a measure on it after all and sometimes saying "I love you more than ___" makes on wonder "how much does he love ___ then?"

Measures shouldn't really be needed. Either your girlfriend is feeling insecure (cause you don't SHOW her your love well enough) and wants you to reassure her you really do love her a lot or she's feeling romantic and trying to make you say sweet things (being playful and all) and then there's no prob to just go along with it.

In general just try to show her your feelings for her more. Idk how you two lead your relationship but she may not be getting enough "aww"-factor.
Best is to just talk to her and ask her what she wants or if she feels she's lacking something in your relationship or something. Easiest way to avoid conflict and hurt feelings is to simply honestly have a conversation

love love love...what is love do you ask? oh...you dont? do you know what love is? love is something that weird people choose to label the feeling they get when they see someone they like.

Tell her that your mind goes blank because the amount of love you have for her is unfathomable.

tell her that your love for her is the equivalent to the number of stars in the sky during a sunny day.

Imagine she's a thick juicy grilled steak 10 oz with mash potatoes, side salad, and hot soup on the side, and you hadn't eaten in a week. All you had to do to eat this was say I love you. Now are you ready?

Okay then either you constantly reassure her of your love so she gets over her insecurities (if that's even possible) or you get fed up with it and find someone who isn't insecure.

When I don't know what to do about a relationship I Look at her horoscope personality and compatibility charts. and find advice on what to do from there! if she is a sun sign that is described as insecure then telling her you love her will probably do wonders for your relationship. If not then you can simply sidestep the question and say somethig that feel like "I love you" or something idk. I've had lots of success with girls from reading sun sign personalities! My current gf of 3 year is a cancer and the horoscope personality said to tell her I love her a million times a day so I do that and she gets really excited each time I say it. So why don't you try that out?

We are in a long-ish distance relationship and I can't "do" anything really and I have to express things with words

That answer typically isn't good enough.

This is pretty simple. Very much, a whole lot, more than anything, the whole world, more than cake (lie obviously), etc, etc. It isn't so much a serious thing as it is just being nice and expressing feelings?

Whenever I was asked that question I would say "I love you (insert some non existent number here) example: 10 million, 99 gazillion, 2 bamillion and 1 something along those lines, it's a good way to make both of you smile and get a kiss.

Are you creative? Make up something related to you guys that would be seen as an "inside joke." Like, my girl knows I love sweets. I'd say I love her as much as a cookie. Kind of a lame example, but hope you get what I mean.

She seems immature. You can't put a measurement on love. What I said to my ex-boyfriend when he asked "how much did you miss me?" was basically "it's not something you can measure or put a quantity to". And there's nothing wrong with telling her that either. If she's unhappy with your answer then she has insecurities.

Just tell her you love her. If she asks "how much", that's a bit immature. She just needs to know you love her, maybe do something special for her.

Basically, if you can't say how much you love her, show her how much you love her. (Gift, hug, kiss, etc, idk)
