Hmm we weren't together at the time, we were in Tesco, it was 2am and I saw pancake mix and was like "OMG, LET'S MAKE PANCAKES!!!!". He just looked at me like I was crazy, then he smiled and said "I love you" and bought the pancake mix. We made pancakes with nutella love hearts and I told him I loved him too when he said we should go back to Tesco to buy strawberries!

That's lovely! (Now I'm all warm and fuzzy).

I knew I loved him for ages but I waited for him to say it first (after about 6 months).

It was some evening at home together, I can't remember exactly though.

It was a week into the relationship - we are together almost 4 years. We had spent LOADS of time together in that week and I'd stayed over at his place (despite my friends saying I should wait :rolleyes:).

He put his arms round me and said "have I ever told you I love you?" I said "No" and he said "I love you". I said it too. I knew I was in love with him that afternoon, but I didn't expect us to say it so quick.

Although he's a fast mover - asked me to go on holidays with him a week later (which I did), and to move in with him a few weeks after that I held out for a few months on that front though...:cool:

Just over 2 months in, he said it first. Sitting on a wall overlooking the sea on Malahide beach, was all very lovely. Until a dog ran up and slobbered all over me

In relation to my ex who broke up with me a couple of weeks ago...

It was like 2 weeks after we first got together, we weren't officially a couple yet really. We were up in his apartment in Dublin, it was my first time visiting him in college (we are both from Kerry). I'm pretty sure we were both on/coming down on ecstasy (classy :rolleyes: ). Anyway he we was like, "you know I really like you yeah, well I LOVE you!". And he was being dead serious. It wasn't the drugs. But I don't think I was in love with him yet, sure we only practically just met a few weeks beforehand! So I replied saying "eh, yeah! I love you too! Well, I think I do...yeah yeah I do!" Ha, they were my exact words. I'll never forget the look of embarrassment on his face afterwards! Gayyyy.

Das Kitty

9 days after I met him directly after our first shag.

I said it first and it was more romantic than I make it sound. :P

MadgeBadge

Two months into my last relationship, I was young, and incredibly enthusiastic, so I told him, and I was met with nothing. About two weeks later he put me out of my misery. He wasn't very good at expressing emotions anyway, and I'm all about the 'I love you's'.

joes girls

The last time my ex's said it, It was my birthday......2 days later i kicked him out!:rolleyes:

CurlieSue

we had been seeing each other for ages, and he had just dropped me home after us spending the day together, he text me and said "i think i love you", to which i replied "i KNOW i love you".... it was on the tip of my tongue for days but didnt have the heart to say it to him in case he did not say it back, pity it was over text but still, it was nice at the time. (no longer together)

all_smilz

the first time my fella said i love you to me was when we were just mates and a guy i was keen on dumped me suddenly by text. I rang him bawling and he said he was coming right over and the he said i love you....

when we started dating 2years later we were together 3months when he text me ",I love you", i rang him in tears of Joy and he said it over the phone, he came over within the hour and said it to me.... there may or may not have been flowers involved.... 19months later he doesnt say it as often as i'd like but he means it when he says it.... and thats what counts!

The Big Red Button

Probably about six months before we finally got together

I was going out with another guy (we'll call him X.) But myself and my current man (we'll call him Y) met through mutual friends on a night out, and became best best friends from the very start, spending lots of time together. And we often said "I love you", on drunken nights out, in a "friends" way. Funnily enough, I never thought of him at first as anything other than a friend, and X never felt in any way threatened by Y.

Anyways one day a friend of mine asked me, if I had to marry someone right now, would it be X? I surprised myself and her by saying no, if I had to marry someone right now, it would have to be Y! I still didn't think I liked him like that though, but I broke up with X (it had been coming for a long long time before I knew Y), and a few months later, we got together.

So, saying the "I love you"s wasn't really a big memorable thing for us, since we'd said it so many times before, messing.

Anyways all that was about five years ago now, we're now engaged and still very much in love

Do other couples say "I love you" much? I know we'd probably say it a few times each day ... but not in a flippant way, not out of habit, we mean it when we say it.

The first couple of months that I was going out with my boyfriend, I couldn't settle I had just come out of a bad four year relastionship about four months before, so it took a while to realise men aren't actually arse holes!

Anyway,2 weeks in we were having a silly little argument over a misundestaning and he went to say it! I shouted "Don't say it!" and legged it off!

Luckily he decided I wasn't a mad b*tch and a couple of weeks later told me he loved me. I kind of freaked out a little bit (quietly in my head this time!) and told him a couple of days later before he was going home, I gave him a kiss and slammed the door in his face!

I was terrified of being hurt! But now I say it to him everyday and mean it.

Nevyn

I lay there stunned thinking, "ah ****" cos I knew it was waaay to soon and likely the start of the end.
And it was, and it ended exactly a month later to the day.
There's loving/caring for someone and there is being in love with them, two pretty different things.

SeekUp

It was about a year after we'd started seeing each other. Since he was travelling, we'd been doing the long-distance thing, and I flew over to New Zealand to meet up with him. First night I got there, we were outside, had "reunited" in the most carnal sense of the word . . . and I told him that I loved him (which I'd wanted to say for months, but couldn't say it in person).

He said it a few days later in bed, with me in his arms.

Now we say it all the time.

Lovely words, those.

I first told my gf I loved her after 4 months together, I knew beforehand however when she went home for Christmas I couldn't stop thinking about her, we were in the back of my car cuddling! Then I just said I love you, she told me two weeks later on valentines night, I came over with her gift and she gave me a kiss and said she loved me, happiest moment of my life.

Wibbs

Shortest time for me in the past was after 8 months knowing her and spending a lot of time together and 3 months after we first locked lips and such. Longest was nearly a year.

Michellenman

Have to say I'm quite surprised how soon people have said it. It all seems very early in relationships. Although, if you mean it say it.

Only said it to one person but looking back I probably didn't mean it. I was 18 we'd been going out for about 9/10 months and chilling on the grass messing and such. He said something along the lines of I love you and I was like
'Are you gonna say it?'
And he said 'say what?:o'
'Say IT' I said.
Then he did.
I said it back, too.


Then he cried...

Fink Goddie

A guy i went out with for a couple of months just randomly out of the blue say 'i love you too' and i hadnt even said it to him, and i definately didnt love him. weird!

idunnoutellme

tinyfox

About 3 months into our relationship, lying in bed having a chat and he suddenly goes all weird and stuttery. I think i intuitively knew what was coming so i turned, look him straight in the eyes, said it was ok and giggled like a school girl. He told me he loved and let out a huge sigh, said he'd been keeping it in until the time was right but couldn't wait any longer.

Nearly 4 years later we say it every day:)

(haven't thought about that night in so long, really want to give him a hug now but he's gone to work:()

redapple

Ah this is all so sweet.

With my recent ex, we had been going out about 3 months (we met backpacking so spent one month in eachothers pockets so that felt like a life time).

I visited his home town, we had a fight and went into his room for a talk. I said it first in a round about way, like " well I was talking to my friend about you and I was like - I think i love him.." and he blurted out interrupting me "I think I love you to...in fact I know I do!" then we were like " oh i love you I love you I love you" with lots of kisses all over our faces. It was so so nice.

We had been drinking though. And the next morning the first thing he said was "for the record I meant everything I said last night". Then we just said it all the time from then on. Untill four years later we broke up! Cest Le Vie wha!?

Nightwish

Those words were exchanged on day 1 of the relationship. They havent been said in over a year now. There's no need! We know how we feel about each other.

lizzyvera

Before we were going out, we admitted it one night after we went away together for the fifth time that summer. We were really good friends. We kissed but my butterflies were so bad I threw up after a minute or two.
It was one of the best days of my life, I don't think the feeling can be beaten.

We say it all the time! I'd say at least every night. I also say it to my parents a lot.

Aww that's so cute

beertons

After 2 months. Think it was in her house in Dublin. Had just finished dinner she was cooking, and I was hugging her to say thanks. Leaned back a little, looked into her eyes, and the rest is history.

CathyMoran

I feel so bad, I dont remember and he does - he says that I said it first. I knew that he loved me a long time before he told me - now, we say it all the time. I have only said it when I mean it.

Joey the lips

My wife told me she loved me about a week after going out with me. I told her I loved her about 3 months later but I knew I ment it and so did she,

The lovely thing is I love her more now. I think people that actually love someone in a relationship straight away are few. Even though many think its love I really dont think you know love till you have your first row, Buy the first present that ment more to the buyer than it did to the receiver or pay your first bill.

True love is your first shopping trolly full of messages remember it..... All those ready cooked meals, biscuits and coke! all the things you dont buy your kids now....

That is love xx

Raze_them_all

Eh my ex rang me up a few days after I found out my granda was dying of cancer....crying told me she loved me...then that she cheated on me.

Ah young love

Snowie

I said it twice...
Once to a girlfriend I was with in my late teens she wouldnt have sex :rolleyes:after I said she still wouldnt have sex :pac:.. then the other one was a complete random we where having a argument and then I said but I f***in love ya and we had angry/loved up make up sex ... well loved up in the immature sense... booth reletionships where pretty short....

Faith

We'd been seeing each other for a couple of months, but had only been "official" for a couple of weeks. He took me out to dinner in a fancy restaurant, both of us all dressed up. We went back to his house afterwards, and were in bed in a room lit by candle light, with rain slamming against the windows outside. I was just dozing off after lots of sex and cuddling and chatting, and I heard him say it. It took me a minute to respond, and I think I rolled over and said "really?", so he repeated it and I said it back. Most romantic night of my life .

Still together a year on too.

pikachucheeks

I've never said it to a guy.

In the heat of the moment with someone, I had an urge to say it... not sure why. I'm glad I didn't because it wouldn't have been true.

It took me years to build up the courage to say it to a friend of mine. We were about sixteen and I said it! She said it back. I loved her as a friend, but I felt like the words were too impossible to say, because they're so... serious.

I say it to all my close friends now - I think it's good to be able to tell them how I feel and let them know I care about them and appreciate them. I could be gone tomorrow, so I want to let people who are important know they are important!

Kimia

At the start of our relationship he used to say it all the time after a few drinks and I would just ignore him or laugh it off.

But then one night about 2 months in we were lying in bed in the dark after cuddling etc and I was just nodding off when I heard him say Night and I said Night sleepily and then he said I love you. It was like the room got way smaller - that's what it felt like. I told him I loved him too but I didn't make a big deal out of it because I could hear in his voice that it was a major deal for him and hard for him to say.

Still together years on and now we say it ALL the time in jokey ways, loving ways, even when we're fighting. He's the best.

pcurls

i said it to my first girlfriend as soon as i knew it which was 4months into the relationship, she kissed me and said nothing back. about two weeks later we had a huge fight, i went to bed and she woke me a few hours later and said she loved me too.

im glad she didnt say it to me when i said it to her for the sake of it, this way it was more special. had a good few years together and went our seperate ways.

my current girlfriend was alot quicker though, mainly cause i felt it so much faster, i was crazy about her from day one and told her before we ever started to go out.

i say dont hold back just say it when you mean it, if you really mean it you wont care that they dont say it straight away, you'd prefer honesty:)

kittenkiller

We were 3 months into the relationship and I was upset about something or other.
I had stormed off on him as was the fashion at the time.
He followed after me and just blurted it out as if "Sure you've got to know that by now!".

I reciprocated and precoded to head off into town where I almost got kicked out of The George for being too rowdy.

Fun times!

Censorsh!t

We had been going out for 2 or 3 weeks, although had been talking for a few months before.
It was at my friend's birthday, I was a bit pissed off as she was flirting with him. I was sitting down at the table and he came over to me, hugged me and told me he loved me. I didnt say it back, I just kinda stared at him.. a bit shocked he had said it so soon.
The party then turned into a huge drama, my friend started shouting at me calling me an idiot because I let someone listen to something off my phone and i was being "too loud" (even though everyone else was being much louder). So i was pretty upset, just wanted to leave, but couldnt. He told me again a few hours later, and I told him I loved him too.

Flojo

It was last night lol.... we were both blinded drunk and had a silly row and he just came out with it. We've been together for about two and a half months. I felt the same so I said it back. We both said it again today sober of course hehe. I'm on such a high right now
