dsd85 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Is there a big difference between saying, "I'm falling in love with you", and saying, "I love you"? Edited January 6, 2011 by dsd85
Feelin Frisky Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I think so. But it depends on who the recipient is and how they want to take it. Saying "I'm falling in love with you" is more desirable in two ways: one, it's not so conclusive as "I love you" and two, it answer the "I love him/her but I'm not in love with him/her" distinction. By it not being so conclusive it's like bringing a dilemma to the recipient for how he or she feels about it. By saying "I love you" you're not appealing to the other person for their feeling about how you feel. You're telling them what you feel and leaving them somewhat there to fend for them self. It's a tricky thing to verbalize but the distinction means a lot.
carhill Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 OP, say both; what difference do *you* feel? Sometimes explanations are needed; sometimes there is elegance in simplicity. I personally tend to go with how I feel and share it as such. BTW, I tell my male friends I love them too. I know, scary thought. You'll understand why when you get older.
denise_xo Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Is there a big difference between saying, "I'm falling in love with you", and saying, "I love you"? I've never used the words 'I'm falling in love with you'. I think it's because I've nearly always fallen in love before getting to really know someone and hanging out with them. So by the time I express my feelings, it's 'I love you'.
