Kinda depends on the other person, doesn't it?

idk really. It's lots of little things; the communication that you build up with someone over time as you get closer. Just day-to-day moments and actions that come naturally if you care for someone.

For me personally it's never been something that I've said indirectly because I'm not a very performative person. If I want to say that, I'll be direct and just say it. I wouldn't have any particular way to show it because I'd have to think about it, and love to me has always been something you feel more than something you think. If I have to think about it, then I'm doing it for some other reason, and it's insincere. It's very difficult for me to be deliberately sincerely positive.

I don't initiate intimate physical interaction with anyone unless I completely trust them. If I hug you, then you know that I love you.

A gesture of kindness, like offering to help them, getting them something they like, etc.
But that being said, I do that for friends. Like friend love I guess? If it were a partner it would likely be physical affection.

One of my favorite quotes is from a play I did back in 2012 and 2018 called The Curious Savage by John Patrick -
People say I love you all the time - when they say, ‘take an umbrella, it’s raining,’ or ‘hurry back,’ or even ‘watch out, you’ll break your neck.’ There are hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear.
The full scene is pretty great as well.
Spoiler:
Fairy: Nothing. It's just no one has said they loved me this live-long day.
Mrs. Savage: Why, yes, they have, Fairy.
Fairy: Oh, no, they haven't, I've been waiting.
Mrs. Savage: I heard Florence say it at the dinner table.
Fairy: You did?
Florence: I did?
Mrs. Savage: She said, don't eat to fast, Fairy.
Fairy: Was she saying that she loved me?
Mrs. Savage: Of course. People say it when they say, "Take an umbrella, it's raining" or "Hurry back" or even "Watch out, you'll break your neck" There's hundreds of ways of wording it. You just have to listen for it my dear.
Fairy: My dentist told me I had perfect occlusion. Do you think he was telling me he loved me?
Mrs. Savage: What else? Why, the first day I met my husband, I was ridding horseback and he said I had a good seat. I knew immediately he loved me.
Fairy: Oh, thank you. I've been missing so much. Oh! My dentist loves me.

I tend to do things for them or show them how much I appreciate them and their existence. ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌

i'm not very good at expressing myself verbally esp when it comes to emotional stuff, but i tend to use food as a means lol. i like to cook or treat my partner to take out meals, or even just picking him up a small treat at the store bc i was thinking of him.

I try to show my appreciation in other ways like buying food or doing stuff for them. It’s difficult as I’m in a ldr, but I try my best to make sure my boyfriend knows that he is loved and appreciated in ways that isn’t just me saying it outright.

Getting gifts from others or giving them. But not when it's like Christmas or a birthday; just because you feel like it.

It means someone's thought of you outside of when they're supposed to or vice versa. They were actively thinking of you when they found something and wanted you to have it. I love giving small gifts like that. But then again, I might also love wasting money. Whoops!

A lot of it happens to be being there whenever someone needs me, even though I may not have the confidence in myself to be the best at it. I want it to mean a lot to someone when I say I'll be there for them. I've had a few people tell me "You're the only person I can talk to about this" and it's kind of empowering in a way, to know I'm supporting someone right. I remember a night I had stayed up for several hours and forced myself awake several times so I could keep talking to someone to help them get out what they needed to talk about, and I got almost no sleep that night because I wanted to make sure they were doing alright.

I think gifts are a really great way to express affection for people, and it's a pretty easy sentiment to show as long as you know something that they kinda maybe might want. It's something that's really hard for me personally after past experiences, but I've occasionally pushed myself to do just that because I like the other person that much.

I think the most important thing is just doing something that gets the right feeling across. Something you'll do where they'll notice you went out of your way or did something so that you could show them that appreciation. I'm a really firm believer in telling someone how much they mean to you whenever you think of it, so hey, go with what works.~
