How to love someone?

I don't know how to love someone. I have done my research and i have seen people in love. I have seen couples going on dates, buying expensive gifts for each other, posting pictures on social media, going to movies and restaurants, celebrating each others birthdays and anniversaries more grand then the last, saying i love you over and over again. And i have seen couples just spending time together, holding hands, forehead kisses, giving love letters to each other, caring for each other, making them priority. So how do you really show someone you love them? By showering them with money and catering to their every whim? Or by just being there and loving them?

Here is what i think loving someone means. Showing someone that you love them is never hard, its not about money or how much material things you can give them, its not about sex or kisses. Loving someone is all about little things. When you love someone you make them your number one priority. Its not just for good time but in bad time too. They never should fight for your attention, its their for the taking. When you love someone you care for them not just physically but mentally too. You need to love them with all their flaws and imperfections. When you love someone you protect them from everything even from themself. You build their self-esteem, their confidence, their believes, their courage. You tell them that they can do it because you believe in them, its human nature to doubt ourselfs, but everyone needs someone to let them know that they can do it. You don't tell them to give up thats like letting them fall, but when you love someone you always catch them, you encourage them to be better to do better. 

When you love someone you start to really know them, you know what they like, what makes them happy and what make them sad, you know what triggers their anger, you know what their anger means, you know when they are sad or hurt even without them telling you, you know when something is bothering them. And when you know all this you don't ignore it. You talk to them, if you made a mistake you apologize without a second though because their happiness is more important then your ego, if you know they are sad you drop everything and make them happy because they are your priority and their smile means more to you then your work or your time or you yourself. If you know whats bothering them you solve it, you help them, you make things right for them.

You don't always have to say out loud that you love them. I love you, these are just 3 little words. Always remember action speaks louder then words. You don't just talk the talk but rather walk the walk. Remember loving is all about little things. Its not about buying expensive gifts, a simple rose or a chocolate or any thoughtful thing can make their day. Its about proving that you love them rather then just saying it. It may seem loving someone is very hard but trust me when you really love them, when you know they are the 'one' for you. All of these things come as easily as breathing. You accept them and they accept you. You make things work even when they seem impossible. You both work for it. I don't know how to love someone. All these are just my believes. For me this is what loving someone means. This is how i want to be loved someday.
