I'm curious about the " I love you's"

I'm curious to hear (or read) what you have to say on this subject-
When in a Relationship where the big "L" word has been dropped quite a few times by both people...What is the norm for it to be said on a daily basis? My personal feeling is it shouldn't be said over and over all day long just for the sake of saying it, to me then it becomes a programmed unemotional statement. Am I making sense? Do you feel the same as I do? In your relationships(past and present) how much did you say it?

Excellent Advice you made me feel a bit better. I'm a VERY insecure Girl

I agree, it's just this is my dream man, so im nervous and insecure... thanks for the advice. your a sweet girl.

i used yo say it way too soon or as a reaction to whomever I as dating saying it even if it was a joke on her part, then I'd be stuck.
But luckily I haven't sais it in 5 years

We say it all the time, every day. That doesn't make it any less meaningful, by the way. Not for us, at least. We mean it with all our hearts each time the words leave our lips. I feel as if the words themselves aren't enough, but it's all I have to tell him, to let him know that at that moment it feels as if my heart is about to burst out of my chest. I know he feels the same way.

Exactly!

I love, love, love this thread.


I love you.

i love you all, and not in that funky superficial way, i mean, i love you... of course, i've also been awake for too long... so it could be sleep deprevation... then again, i did just eat pancakes with lots of syrup, so it could also be the sugar... oh, i'm rambling.

When I fell in love with my current boyfriend, I felt a little freaked out. I had fallen in love with my ex-boyfriend and that relationship ended terribly. It didn't help that I wasn't too sure about how my current boyfriend felt about me at the time. I kept on making subtle hints that I loved him, but I wasn't sure if he caught on or was just ignoring it. Finally, I told him and he reciprocated by telling me that he loved me too.
Usually, when we say we love eachother, its usually everytime we get off the phone with eachother, during/after sex, when I drop him off at home- but that's about it. I've already had one relationship where "I love you" was said once every five minutes or so and now that I think about it, it was kind of cheezy to say it over and over again.

I love this answer. And I'm not trying to be smarmy.

this is from a movie. i forget it exactly, or the name of the movie.
something along the lines of...
when you get old and have been together so long...i love you, is like just saying cheese sandwhich.

I allways liked that.
I think the common i love you, say...when hanging up the phone with the person is fine...but the. " Honey, I love you" like the meaning ful on, well. fuck im not sure. It's allways nice to hear it for me. I hate the usage when its to make up for something you fucked up on though, and you say sorry by smothering with i love you's.

Did I mention today that I love you!

sadly, the bitchin' chicken terayaki bowl I had this afternoon didn't say it back....

<heart shattered

I love lamp.

I dunno, once it's said by both parties, it seems to be said all the time after that. I'm so used to saying "I love you" while wrapping up a phone conversation with my wife that I've said it to my buddy Matt, too. LOL. And he's like "I love you, too, honeybuns."

At greetings.
At goodbyes.
And after, during and before sex.

Today, instead of saying it, I just rubbed my boobs in my boyfriend's face.

Nothing says love like resting breasts on your partner. Personally my guy likes it when i walk up to him and rest my boobs on the back of his neck when he sits. Its pretty funny actually... Then I tell him I love him.

wow....I LOVE YOU...i said it...but of course i mean it....staying up alll night at work has got me all funny...and the fact i had a shit load of coffee...and pancakes

Nothing beats a good boob smother.
