Telling someone you love them

[ghsu]

How did it come about the first time. Did you just tell them casually sitting on the couch in pjs or was it a grand gesture/romantic setting?

Does the man usually say it first?

To be completely honest I would say this is true on some level. I felt I loved DP after about a month but what I feel for him now is like a richer, more detailed and textured version of that, because I know him now. A month or two in is long enough to feel in love, but you need time I think to really deeply love someone. It doesn't diminish what there is after a few months, rather I think it's actually wonderful!

Blimey, how do you feel about that? Have you ever talked about it?

Why the sad face?

Star Wars quotes at romantic moments? He’s a keeper!

I'm 48 and a year into the first relationship where I've said it and meant it.

I've had it said to me and I've known it wasn't true so I've just said it back to avoid the awkward silence.

My boyfriend told me before we were together. We'd known each other for a few years as we were both part of a friendship group. We were at a party, he ended up being someone I was talking to at one point in the evening, he told me he loved me and had been in love with me for years.

I didn't see it coming at all. It took a few weeks for me to realise I loved him too.

I told my then-boyfriend and now husband for 17 years (our son is 15) 3 days after us talking online because I so much wanted to be loved and to be loved. He told me when we met the 2nd time 5 months later.

He proposed on the phone 4 months later:)

I was 25, he was 37.

*I so much wanted to love & to be loved

The 1st time we met was 2 months later after talking every day on Yahoo messenger in 2004 before Skype appeared in 2008.

I told DH about 6 months into our relationship. I really wanted him to say it first but he just lacks confidence with everything and knew it would have to come from me. I was sat on a place waiting to take off and got upset that if it crashed he'd never know that I loved him. So I texted him. It was a long flight so I had an anxious wait until I could put my phone on at the other end to see what his response was!

On our first holiday together around 5 months in. We were in a villa and were bobbing about in the pool after many many lunchtime drinks and he just said it and I said it back straight away.

I'd made a playlist for the trip and prior to this it felt like The Courtneers 'has he told you that he loves you yet?' kept coming on constantly, so much so that I removed it from the playlist on day 3 😂
