<human>: We have been dating for about 4 or 5 months now. For the most part we get along really amazingly.  Our sex life is great and we make each other laugh and smile every day.  

However communication wise, we are not a match. I am a very verbal person. If i want to say i love you i will simply say it. She on the other hand shows her love with actions rather than words. If she wants to say i love you, she will buy me a gift or she will say i love you only during a very intimate moment. Like during or after sex and when we are with her family and she sees how much they like me she will whisper it in my ear. For the most part its fine.  I dont need to hear I love you everyday but sometimes after a long days work its nice to hear.  

Last night is an example of when our communication fails. We had a little fight and i apologised and meant it. And she said nothing. She isnt good at expressing her thoughts but when i apologised and explained how much she means to me and she says nothibg, to me that meant she disagreed or didn't appreciate my honesty. 

I am not blaming this on her at all. I do wish i didnt need to speak for the both of us sometimes but its who she is and i adore her a lot. 

I am just here to ask if there is anything I can do to make our communication better and two sided? Should I just be patient and hope she starts to open up more or do i not accept her quietness?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: A girl i am seeing doesn't express her feelings the way i am used to. Is there a way i can help her express herself or do i just need to be more understanding and patient?
