What if I'm the wuss who wants to say "I love you" for the first time via text

[mammasita]

Sure, I should know better, I'm grown.....but I'm kind of a basket case when it comes to expressing myself and I might even cry if I did it in person

 

I know the women here would be appalled if a man told her he was in love with her for the first time via text.....but are the men in agreement? ****, I might (I know, pot - kettle)

 

Is this just a bad idea?

[acrosstheuniverse]

Personally (as a woman, sure) I would much rather someone told me to my face, and cried, than wussed out and did it over text. It's a very very special moment. You can never get back the first time you tell someone you love them. It elevates things to a whole new level. I wouldn't waste that on a text message.

 

What are you afraid of? Them not saying it back?

[Elias33]

I would advice against it.

[Mascara]

Don't do it. The first ILY should be when you're looking into each others eyes.

I couldn't care less what form of communication you used to say it. You might be sitting around going bonkers for awhile waiting for him to reply though. At least in person you'll get instant feedback, good or bad.

Yes, this man is in agreement. Not acceptable! Why so much texting these days? Talk to your lover! Cry if you must- be genuine!! I would want it to be said in person. A hug and a kiss need to go with it.

Just imagine her look when you tell her for the 1st time. She will be elated. You won't ever get this back. Do it in person and cry like a wussy if need be, but let her see your emotion with it. Dont do it via text.

Wow....seriously, what next....want to make love / make out via text?

 

Dating etiquette please

[Keenly]

Over text wouldn't phase me, but I'm a different generation.

[Tayken]

A hug and a kiss need to go with it.

 

Damn right, and a smack / squeeze on the a$$ (assuming there is something there)

[Under The Radar]

Guy here ...... and I vote for in person.

 

Receiving that for the first time via text would be disappointing.

[SadNLonley]

If you do it in person, who knows what you'll get out of it. Im thinking some good ole sexy *******.

 

Cant get that over text. :/

Massage?

[Targetlock]

something that important should always be done in person

[gaius]

Trust me mama, there's no guy on earth who's gonna get all upset that you didn't say it in person and made some kind of big emotional moment out of it. Well, there might be but he's single right now. I'm pretty sure the guy you're dating won't care.
