Personally, I prefer actions. I'm not too good at expressing myself and how i feel on paper or verbally. It's all up in my head, but I just can't get it out!
Sometimes persistance can also help. That is, friendly gestures, persistantly. Depending on personality, it could be this or they may need a whole lot of space...
