clapyourhands Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 my boyfriend and i had been together close to nine months before one of us plucked up the courage to say it. for sooo long we would hint to it, saying "i heart you." or he would do/say something he knows gets a rise out of me and would then say "but you love me, right?" FINALLY after those silly games one afternoon i grabbed him and said "(insert secret pet name), i have to tell you something awesome!" sufficing to say, i lost my confidence and said nevermind. he pressed and pressed (because i now realize, in hindsight, he knew just what i was going to say). he then said "do you love me?" "yes, i love you." "i love you too." it was very sweet and a long time coming. say it say it say it. life is entirely too short not to tell the ones you care about the most exactly how you feel. it's daunting, i know, but when everything is right, you can't help but say it. good luck
Author wierdmunky Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 how sweet! well it's been a year.. I've just been trying to be cool and have control over my feelings and everything. We both were in really long relationships before this so I'm being really careful with when and where, but I think I'm thinking about it too much now, I just want to say it say it say it!
clapyourhands Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 i know what you mean about thinking about it too much. i was the same way. once i stopped thinking about it, that's when my heart was more open and i felt more comfortable. the mind is entirely too powerful. also, because the words haven't been exchanged doesn't mean he doesn't feel that way. i remember at one point i almost convinced myself that we weren't going to last, we don't love each other, etc. just because we were both scared to say it. a year is a good time to say it. more importantly, since a fair amount of time has been spent, you'll truly mean it. don't let it pass you by and don't let it weigh on your mind too much. it will only make it that much harder for the words to escape your lips!
dreamergrl Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I don't remember But, there's a time I do remember (a different SO) We went out one night... got back, and I played a song that truly reflected about how I felt. The song "Loving me for me". Then I looked him in the eyes and told him I was in love with him.
boldjack Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Remember it like it was yesterday. We were in the supermarket buying groc. Now my gf had already said it to me, and I wanted to tell her how I felt. As we walked past the greeting card section there was this enormous bright red heart card, it said " I love you for a million reasons". I picked it up and handed it to her and said that we need to buy this, for you ,from me.
Green Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 my story is kind of lame compared to the others but I was actualy on internet chat and me and my gf had got into an arguement when hanging out earlier that day and she was upset and I told her that I love you and that I wanted to say it for a long time now
Viking Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I was sleeping, was woken up and said "I think I'm falling for you" and then the second part, "I'm looking forward to our future together" in German. My ex doesn't speak German...one of those things that you do when you're half awake I guess. She asked me if I remember what I said later in the morning and I told her I did...:eek::eek:
burningashes Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Lol, just tell your SO when the time is right for you. I've already told my bf that I'm falling in love with him and now we say things like, "I know but you love me anyways," etc. We haven't outright said it yet, I'm pretty sure I'll tell him eventually. We actually talked about it yesterday and I told him that yes I was falling in love with him, but I take the term "I love you" seriously. I only say it if I am sure and steady in doing so without any doubt. You should do the same
