It means to be very transparent with your emotions.

It means to be very sensitive. A person who carries their heart on their sleeve is very emotional and feels things very deeply.

I wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to my fiance.
It means that it's easy for people to see your true feelings, or that you're not very good at hiding your emotions.

It is actually, Wearing one's heart on one's sleeves'!
ORIGIN of The Phrase:
"Probably related to a English/French old Valentines Eve practice of drawing a girls name from a box.
The male agreed to protect the girl for a year. He wore her name in that year on his sleeve."

It means you are totally open about your feelings to someone else, no games, no hiding...
When you meet someone of the opposite sex and do not hide that you have feelings for them (which is a rare thing unfortunately).

It means that you are openly showing your emotions, especially about who you love. It usually follows with someone saying that that person is going to be hurt.
