Hong Kong-February 13-IJS-Global-Compared with western man who speaks out their love every now and then, the notoriously conservative Chinese man is the most unwillingly people to tell lovers the three magic words I love you.  What’s more, most Hong Kong women showed their indifference towards “I love you,” actually, they concerned more about real behavior instead of sweat words and honeyed-phrases.

Serena Cheng , 20, student of City Univeristy

She said that three words mean everything for her, “love is something you can never figure out…you give him a big hug, then he would tell you what you want to hear.”

Tony Cheung, 21, salesman

Tony said that three words never fall out of his mouth,”I never feel like saying it. It never happened.”

he has no plan of saying it on valentine’s day, “ I would take her out for dinner and shopping. Action speaks louders than the words.”

Bony Lee, 22 , university student

Bony voices pessimism when it comes to love. She said she  doesn’t take that three words  seriously,“how do you know if  he really means it?”

Michelle Yeung, 20 , Student

“ I think men from Asian countries feel too shy to say “I love you” to their girlfriends actively,”

“One time after my boyfriend and I did shopping , he said “ I love you” to me actively, I felt very sweet.”

Tina Chu, 27, Singer

“ I don’t need my boyfriend to say “ I love you” to me very often,”

“The timing is very important. I believe my boyfriend will say “ I love you” at the appropriate time.”

Aggie Cheng, 20 , Student

“ I don’t force my boyfriend to say “I love you” to me if he has not done before. He said “ I love you” to me on my birthday,”

“ I believe what he does for me is even important than what he says to me.”
