<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I'm 30 years old, and im dating a girl who is 23, we've been going out for 4 months now and I've never been in a relationship with a girl that doesn't love getting all lovey-dovey and sappy, saying cute stuff to each other. Y'know like saying how cute she is, how much you miss each other, 'You are so cute when you need bend over to kiss me! muah muah muah' -It is not quite baby talk, but yeah, it could be in the same area.

Some of you women may laugh, but I'm a big sap and the girls I've been with have loved it until now. So this current girlfriend tells me tonight that she, really dislikes me doing that, its the first time she has said it, but I'm glad she did, because she says it cringes her out and for me to stop it. If I carried on doing it, I imagine we would breakup, because I was none the wiser to it. 

In fact it is the main reason I rarely get any texts from her, because I send her these sappy texts and she doesn't reply to them, which explains why she never really contacts me

Thing is though, this is the very first time that I've ever had a bad reaction to it and has been a great way to show affection, especially in text or on the phone etc.

What, may I ask, is another way to show affection than this? I don't mind buying her things, but I would like something I can do sincerely and also things I can do with/for her that I could over the phone or over a text.

I love doing things that show how much I love and care for her and I really want her to know it without making her cringe.
Can you ladies help me out?
<bot>: I want to express my feeling to her without her feeing or associating embarrassing or 'cringe' worthy compliments, what how do I express myself to show her how I feel in person or in text?
