What happened when you said it?

Under what circumstances did you say it?

Tell your story!

Discuss.

The first time My boyfriend and I said I love you and ment it was about 7 months into the relationship.

He where in my backyard, it was summer time. There was a bombfiring going and we were alone. I was sitting his lap and we were talking about personal stuff. I felt this awesome tingle go down my back, i will never forget it. I said I love you and i also told him i ment it. Then he replied back with an I love you. Thats when we talked and told each other it was real, that we both felt the same thing.

Now it will be one year for us on jan.15!

bomb fire*** going**

i said it last night. we were laying down, and i told him to close his eyes and be still. i sat there staring at him and debating whether or not to say it. it had been on the tip of my tongue for days just waiting to get out. i felt a little silly. i'd never said it to any boyfriend before, and i wanted to make sure it was REALLY true. i stared at him silently for about 5 minutes. every time i opened my mouth i choked. i don't know how he lay there so calmly and patiently all that time.

finally, i knew i had to say it, because i decided it was as true as a statement can be true. i even decided i'd be ok with it if he didn't say it back. but i still had trouble. so i finally figured out a way. he knows i love chocolate, and always bought it for me. so i opened my mouth and said loudly and clearly, "i like chocolate. i LOVE YOU."



and yes, he reciprocated.

Yes, it's a simple truth.

did he say the chocolate part too?

lol, no. the chocolate part was really just a lead-in to make sure i actually got it out.

Well, we'd openly liked each other for around 2 months, but it had only been official for about 2 or 3 days.

anyway, we were laying in bed, and I just...I couldn't properly put it into words how I felt. And I was afraid to say 'I love you' because it was so soon. but it was the strongest I'd ever felt about anybody. So I said, and she said she did too, and had for some time.

I think she actually said it the day before. I'm sure she said I love you and I was like "what?" and she said "nothing". I guess i havet that effect on people

Well me and my girlfriend have been dating for 4 months Jan. 16th, but I have liked her and she has had a thing for me for a little over 6 months. After about two months of dating,one day we were laying there cuddling and i said "Baby,I really do love you and I'm not lying. I haven't ever felt this way about a girl ever in my life." She said " I love you too honey and I know it is real....I do" then we madeout.....THE END

It was a joke at first.



Then one day we had dinner and he dropped me off at home.



And he just said it.

The only time I've said I love you to a girl... I didn't mean it.

I only said it cause she said it first.



I'm a poor poor basterd.

an hour after sex one day,my girlfriend and i where laying in my bed,and she spelled it out on my stomach,then whispered it in my ear.and i said it back to her.

we kinda had a thing with writing on each other...so it was cute.

Really? Is there some kind of club I can join?

well i told my girlfriend i loved her before she was my girlfriend. i've known her since she was in elementary school. she's a grade under me. i started liking her when we got into high school. i could tell she liked me through friends and just the way she acted. well i asked her out and she said no, saying she didnt wasnt to lose our friendship. well a coupe weeks later i went at it again. and i told her how i felt. i told her that she need to be with me and i need ot be with her becasue i loved her. and we've been together ever sense. 10-30-05

to all those chasing after someone, never give up if you really love them. you wont regeret it.

After about a week of dating...though we'd been seeing and talking to each other for several months prior.

Though, we do have an unusually strong relationship.

I think we'd been together about a month or two.

We were watching... The Sentinal... I think... in the cinema, and he just leaned over and kissed me, and whispered really softly in my ear "I'm think I'm falling in love with you" and after me asking him "what?!" due to lack of hearing, twice, I caught on and gave him a cuddle, as much as I wanted to say I loved him too (I get tongue tied and nervous ALL THE TIME)

The next night I was drinking with friends, and got rather wasted and texted him my love. He told me to get back to him when I was sober, so I did.

We've been together 6 and a half months now He's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.

She said it first. When we'd been together about 3 months? I was kinda hesitant about it first, but since then, we say it to each other all the time. And its still one of my favourite things to hear of all time.

Note: We have our 18month in 13 days. I love her so much i could burst

I don't remember how long we had been talking, but jack said it first. I said it quite by accident (and freaked out a bit when I did). I usually wrote "With Deep Affection".

(hmmm....I wonder if I have that in my files somewhere...)

Haha all of you seem like fucking 11 year olds. "1 week anniversary and I said I love you!" That's bullshit I tell you.

We said it about a week or so before we started going out

First time? It was obviously a mistake on both our behalfs, since we didn't mean it.

We were sexing, and it was gooood, and she was panting, and inbetween pants she whispered in my ear "I love you". I said it back. That was a long time ago, like half 5 months ago.

Then recently, we were about to go pick up a friend and take him shopping. We got up to go, said "you got everything?" she said "yes". We started kissing. She pushes me down to the bed. We then have sex for like 45 minutes. Afterwards I'm shuddering from the best orgasm I'd ever had. I'm talking, saying shit like "...fuck...oh my god, I cant feel my toes". She just said "stop talking", she then stared at me for like 10 seconds, and said "I love you".

She said it first. A thing I'd NEVER have expected. I said it back. She finally felt "her self again".

Man, love, when you have it, is fucking sweet.

Well, she said it first, and it was actually really funny. She was like, "There has been this thing I've been thinking for a really long time, and the more I think about it, the more I... aww fuck this I love you." And me, being a dumbass, replied. "No you don't." But later that day we finally got over it, and both said I love you to each other. I was on cloud nine for weeks.

well about a year into my relationship it was killing me, i had felt that way for so long, but didn't want to be the first to say it. finally (i don't really remember when) i just came out with it. he siad it back to me for a few weeks, but something always felt wrong.

he had 2 serious relationships before he was with me, and he told be that with the first one they started saying i love you the first day, and the other one the first week. so by our first year, i was a little worried.

finally after a couple of weeks only ever responding back (he never actually was the first to say it), he told me he didn't want to say that to me. he only wants to say 'i love you' when he is married. he feels he threw the word around too much with girls he bearly even liked and wants to save something for marriage.

usually i can deal with it, but sometimes during sex i feel like blurting it out and have to catch myself. and when i drink too much i always say it to him and then i get upset and cry, those nights aren't fun.

sorry, the thread was too happy. had to ruin it for all the unhappy loveless totseans out there.

I thought you were going to dump him?

He said it the day before our one month anniversary, at a concert, right before our favourite band came on. It was pretty perfect, if I do say so myself.

Edit: And before he said it, we could both tell that we both wanted to say it. Like, just saying goodbye after school and things felt kind of like it was missing something. So it was nice.

Bump.

I'd better put down the circumstances for me saying it. she asked if i did. she had told me that she loved me a.... while before that point. i had been debating whether or not i did for a while after, and used her inquiry as an opportunity to say so.

when? after about 2 months of actually being together.

what happened? we kissed for a bit, and then parted ways (had prior engagements i could not be a moment late for).

I've had two serious boyfriends, one for quite a few months, one even longer. I never said it to either of them, even though I was desperately in love with the first one.

I guess I just thought he wouldn't say it back and it would turn out to be awkward

You guys are all so cute.

*hurls from all the cuteness in this thread*

Err, we were being naughty and uh.. She asked if I loved her. How was I supposed to say no? :/

ive never told a girl that, other then when having sex, and even then i regret it

saying the fucken LOVE word gives the chick way too much power

I fucked up by saying that i loved my girl to early in the relationship. we were only going out for a few weeks but had been talking for a couple months and i really had feelings for but one day when i took her home i told her that i loved her and she said it back, then later on the phone she said that she didnt really belive me and that our relationship was moving too fast and we needed to take a break and see if we really loved each other. i was like ok and thought we would end up going back out but to this day we havnt got back together

The lesson here, wait a few months to tell a girl u love them or let them say it first.

my (ex)girlfriend and I were sprawled in front of my houses door in each others arms kissing and just holding each other.We were so relaxed and calm and both of us were simply quiet for a while feeling the love between us. As we were lying down she was facing away from me. She whispers

"Jose"

I say "yeah?..."

"I...love you"

I was silent. I started trembling... I didnt know what to say. I cared for her so much but I promised myself to never use the world love unless i was truly, earth shatteringly in love. I stayed quiet, my heart raced, I was still trembling. Her sweet eyes were frowning in mild dissapointment but it didnt drown any of the love out of her eyes.

"its ok, you dont have to say it. Just know that I love you."

*still trembling with eyes a little wide*

"ok..."

And we stayed there for a bit.Time went on.All you guys saying "i love you"...I dont think you understand what love really is.Not saying that i do...but you seriously dont.

we'd been going out for like 3 weeks or so and we were just talking on the phone and we had to go, and so we said goodbye and then i went "hey..." and he said "yeah?" and i said "i love you." he just said "i love you too" and we've been saying it ever since.

it doesn't sound like all those fantastically romantic stories but it was just so natural. it was just like...the way we felt hadn't changed, it was just vocalized.

hahaha he's going to read this and think i'm a complete idiot.

whatever, 2.5 years later something's still going right.
