Are you comfortable to say you love first?
The time/s you’ve fallen in love with someone who’s reciprocated, did you say “The Words” first or did you wait until your partner spoke up in order to speak your feelings?

I usually wait for them to say it first. But I tend to drop hints so they aren’t afraid of rejection.
It seems to me that I’m usually first. But my emotions are a bit outrageous.
I never say it first, eventually they’ll cave, or they won’t and it won’t last anyway.
I have never said it first. I guess that I am not comfortable saying it. I do say and do little things that gives them a hint. I just don’t want to say it because I am scared of the rejection.
I said it first. He said it maybe a month later.
I also wait until they say it, but I make sure they know I’m ready to say it back by hinting around.
I’ve been caught off guard before in which case I said it because I didn’t want him to feel rejected.. that one didn’t last long oh well
My partner said it first, five days after we met for the first time. I said it about a week later. We’ve been together almost a year. :)
I’ve been in both situations. I don’t feel a woman should not say it just because she’s a woman, so if I feel it and it feels appropriate to say it..I would.
As horrible as it is.. I’m cold as ice when it comes to emotionally opening myself up to someone for the first time. I without a doubt never say it first. Maybe it’s a fear of rejection, I’m not sure.
Oh well… it’s unflattering but true, folks!
I’ve only ever been in love once and I said it first.
I think that I usually say it first because it overwhelms me, and that’s the only way to express it. I don’t know why it overwhelms me. It always has. Maybe because it’s the only thing that seems to make me feel ok. I think it’s pathological at this point. But I do find so much to love about people. Everyone that I get involved with amazes me, and I don’t seem to be able to help loving them. It’s a difficult thing, too, because, as a married man, I’m not allowed to be doing this. So most of my loves go unspoken.
I am old enough and have had a convoluted enough life to have been seriously in love several times, but I cannot recall for the life of me who said what first. I remember that for my two marriages, I was the one who proposed.
I’ve said it first only once. I’m not afraid to say it first, but I’d like to be sure before I say anything at all.
Both. When I started dating, I was usually first. At the end of my dating life, I was last.
I’m usually first cause i usually fall in love faster than the guy i’m with. Which is my downfall
I don’t like game-playing. If I feel it, I say it. Why hold back? I’m not saying it because I want to hear it reciprocated, I’m saying it to communicate my feelings.
I can’t remember…hmmm…which means it didn’t bother me to say it first
I was curious to see how brave my fellow jellies are because as much as I think I am, I still chickened out.
