When did you say "I love you"?

I was just wondering how many of you have told your partner you love them. If you have, how long after you began dating- did "I love you" enter the picture?

My OM told me he loved me twice before I ever reciprocated and he kind of pried it out of me. It wasn't that I didn't love him or didn't want to tell him, I just have a very hard time saying things out loud and still do. Not just with him, but with everyone. I prefer writing. When he first told me he loved me was when I was leaving his apartment one morning after we fooled around the night before. He said "Love you" as I was leaving. I just smiled back at him and left. The next time he told me he loved me was while we were talking on the phone one night. He said it had been hard to not say "I love you" before hanging up each night when we talked. I finally spit it out by saying, "I think I love you, okay?" And now we say it all the time. It feels amazing each time. :)

It was after a couple of months or something... I don't remember really... I know I said it when I know I really meant it... because I just spit it out LOL

It happened fast, but not fast enough for me. We met online and I knew I loved him before he said it. He was so cute and had planned to not tell me until we were together that he loved me. He would say everything but the actual "I love you" words. That lasted for a about a month before he finally told me the words. I was on cloud nine and have been ever since. :)

We had originally, before we ever began seeing each other, agreed that it was just going to be fun... no strings attached. Well, that lasted all of a few weeks. We were close friends for a couple years beforehand, and after about two weeks of being more, he was getting out of my car and fixing to get into his, and he hugged me and said, "Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but I love you." We put that ('don't take this the wrong way') in front of it for a while... then we just admited, to ourselves and each other, that we really were in love.

Still now, when we want to make the other laugh we will say it that way, and it reminds us of how wonderfully awkward we were at first, and how we were trying to hard to not get emotionally attached... and it sure didn't work... lol =) And I'm so glad it didn't.

My OM and I got together because of sex at first. However, our relationship grew to be good friends who have sex. Then I finally realized after about 10 months that I was in love with him.

I took not seeing him or talking to him for an entire week to realize how crazy about him I was. And during that same time he was missing me like crazy too. The next time I got together with him, I told him and he said he loved me too.

Then we made love at the lake. What a great night!!

We started out as friends....so it took a while before we said I love you.

I'm thinking it happened in an email...but it could have happened over the phone...honestly...I can't remember. How horrible is that? lol.

I'm like the man in this relationship...i can't remember much...but Alec saved all our emails and such...so let me go look...and I'll see if I can figure it out. I'm sure its cute.

We tell each other "I love you" more than a million times a day now...and we mean it everytime...thats the best part. *grin*

we've been friends for about 4 years now, it was only a few months ago that he revealed his feelings towards me. (didnt see that coming lol) I think it was 2 months after everything was out in the open, I said it 1st, he followed. It is long distance, so I remember saying it to him through a private message and kindof waiting anxiously to see if he felt the same way when he replied to my message.

good thing is he didnt hesitate to answer lol.. it just felt right afterwards. now we say it all the time, on the phone,online, in person when he visits me. it is really out of character for me because i usually dont initiate how i feel in fear of rejection, but i couldnt help how i felt about him at that point.

We had known eachother for 3 years before dating...and so it only took us a month to say it after we got together. :D

I've been dating my OM for about three months now and it hasn't been said...yet! However, I'm REALLY falling hard for him. I want to let him know, but I'm nervous as it may be too soon. I know he's really into me, but I don't want to scare him. lol :confused:

LOL I'm laughing. I think that's great :) At least you know you love him ;)

We'd chatted online for almost two years and then we became "interested" in each other and about two months after starting to to have deep feelings for each other and wanting to meet and hold each other he told me that he loved me, online, and I reciprocated.

Then one time about a month later on the phone I told him, "How is it possible that I'm falling in love with you and we've never even met in person?" and later in that conversation before we hung up I told him, "Love you."

A couple of phone calls later we were telling each other "Love you," before hanging up each time.

When we met in person a couple of months later it was so natural for us to be close at heart, close physically and close emotionally...and the words were not important.

Although we often still told each other then and still do now that we love each other :')

LOL I'm laughing. I think that's great :) At least you know you love him ;)


*grin* Glad I could make ya laugh Charlotte! :D Its horrible though...I asked him last night and neither of us could remember when we first said I love you!!!

I'm re-reading our old emails...but there's over 800 of them and I'm still in the first month!

Oh well...like you said....at least I KNOW I love him! *giggle*
