When did you say 'i love you'?

My guy and I have been friends since we were little, have had feelings for each other for forever but we've been officially seeing each other for the past 2 months. I don't know if it's the friend feelings bundled up with romantic ones but I've almost said the L word like 100 times now lol. I don't want to force it or feel like its an oops if I say it out loud, I want it to just come out naturally at the right time. He's actually slipped up and said it once early on, and then a couple days ago he said he loved me to death and then said mmm I let that slip out lol. We do care deeply for each other and have expressed that but things change once you say those words and it's kind of scary for me, and him too. When did you say those magic words to your SO?
 
Honestly cant remember but probably after a month or two of dating. We didnt know each other previously. He said it first on the phone and I was like okay...lol After he said it a couple times in person he'd get angry bc I didnt reciprocate, so eventually I did. I don't know if I loved him then but I liked him.

Met a year ago, committed in October said it this July so about 9 months depending on when you want to start counting.

He says stuff like because I love you so much blah blah blah...but I've never said it since July when we said it...it still makes me nervous to say or hear it. Can't wait to say it comfortably going to sleep, during random times or getting off the phone :)
 
8 months after we started seeing each other and two days before we made it official. Kind of just happened.
 
LOL the first day we started going out. Then every day after.

Just say it. I have no patience with these things lol, especially when you're both holding it back:spinning:. Express love, be happy.
 
If youre having to hold it in after several slip ups, I would say its time.

When I say it, it has to come straight from my heart, utilizing my throat and my mouth to get it out... :yep:
If ya get what I'm sayin here. Otherwise it wouldnt leave my tongue.

I love you is really easy for me to say. I always mean it but I am not totally sure thats a good thing. The soonest could have be weeks or latest a year.
 
I used to be adamant about a woman never saying it first. I think that was just my ego. If you love someone, truly and unconditionally, it does not matter who says it first as long as it is said.
 
my ex said it one month in and i said it like 2-3 months later. he was my first love and i think it freaked me out more than anything (his feelings + my feelings). i don't believe i even acknowledged it looking back. :lol:
 
After about 3 weeks. We felt the same way about each other. Clearly, because we've only spent about 3 whole days apart since our first date.

Have any of you ever said it first to your SO and he didn't reciprocate right away?

That happened to me. I actually created a thread about it haha. I said it after 3 months... and he backed off a lot... and when i confronted him about it, he told me he didn't know if he could never feel the same way about me. So I broke up with him. The next day we got back together :lol: It took him another 3 months to say I love you... but I will never ever everrrr be the first to say I love you, EVER again. it was the worst feeling ever.
 
SO and I exchanged 'I love you's' the other morning after 2.5 months of being together.

I knew within a few dates that he was someone special. :yep: I can't pinpoint the moment that I knew I loved him but have been holding back on saying it for a few weeks. There was no premeditation when I finally let it out. It just happened. He said it back right away and said he knew he loved me awhile ago but thought maybe it was too soon. :grin:

A few months is such a short time but it feels like we've known each other forever. Being 100% happy in my relationship feels so good!

Darn if I didn't tell "express" this feeling out loud in my sleep. He tapped me on my shoulder and asked me what I said......then asked me again in the morning when I was wide awake. Needless to say I "owned it"; the feeling is mutual, and we're good.
 
I used to be the one who said it first.....I learned better...with current SO he said it first pretty early on. I knew he felt that way because his actions showed it. But I was shocked when he said it. And I said to him "do you realize you just said you loved me?" He said yup and I MEAN IT!!!!!

I didn't want to say it first either. If it hadnt slipped out, who knows how long it would have been before we said it. He told me the man should never say it first! :lol: He was waiting for me to crack! Oh well! I'm glad. We love each other. Doesn't really matter who said it first.

With my first love I said it first. No regrets. I knew he loved me by his action so I was comfortable in saying it. He said it right back and gave me a big kiss. I think the way society is shaped here it makes us not say how we feel out or fear of being hurt or taken advantage of. With my current SO he said it first...pretty early and on my birthday. I definitely melted right there.

Wait, be positive, keep believing, and all will surely be yours. Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
 
I said it about 1 month in at a bad moment :look: he did not acknowledge it and but I didn't care. About 2 weeks later, we're coming back from a party and it gets brought up again, he says he loves and gives me a big ol' kiss under the moonlight. Sounds cute, but this happened in a mcdonald's parking lot :lachen: :lachen:
 
Took me a year with my exh. He'd said it many times before but I told him I wasn't ready. After about 13 months, I was...

We said it before we were even officially dating, during an argument of all things.

Same here. We were arguing about something, and he said I really love you. This was about a month before we made it official. I didn't tell him right back, but eventually I did. He caught me off guard completely. I even got super quiet (totally unlike me).
 
I said it 5 weeks after we started dating! I never said it before so I was super nervous but I was so anxious to tell him that I thought I was gonna explode. He thought I was just really excited but felt good knowing I meant it after we dated a bit longer.
