What was it like the first time the L word was used in your relationship?

I think she wanted to be in love, but wasn’t. It was needlessly complicated.
We both learned lessons from the experience.

When I asked if she would like a threesome, she yelled that she was not a lesbian.

oh! The other L word!

It’s elating till it becomes another practiced response.

We’re sitting in my living room and there’s a lull in the conversation.

Me: You know… I think I love you.
Him: I think I love you, too.
(Insert smiles all around.)

Gawd, we were so articulate.

I was a psycho-jealous bitch and he broke up with me on the phone. I told him I loved him and he said “I know”. 3 hours later he called me back and said he was being stupid. That was nearly 3 years ago and we’re still together.

it was frightening…we’ve not even met in person yet and we’ve only been talking for a couple of days and nights on the phone…and I whispered “I think I’m falling in love with you” and he said “I’m so in love with you” and we both cried because we knew there was no going back and we were married to others then and the future seemed bleak…all’s well now…we fixed…we’re together.

@tragiclikebowie Dude. That’s like Star Wars.

@rangerr Is everything like Star Wars? :p

@rangerr I was totally just thinking that

@tragiclikebowie that sounds intense, at least it ended happy :)

He said, “Sara, I think I’m in love with you.”

This was five days after we first met, almost a year ago.

And then we did the nasty.

I was drunk, probably smelly, clingy and said it too quickly in the relationship (like I did in most of my relationships) Worked out though, we’ve been married 4 years!

@sevenfourteen Yeah, it was a shitty/happy day. A few months later we broke up again for like a week but, again, got back together. We still fight, but he’s so whipped now.

@casheroo You know me so well.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir That’s so sad and sweet.

I first said it to him not too long after we started going out (a couple weeks afterward). We were in Las Vegas and I told him that while we were in the hotel. I know it’s supposed to be a “big no-no” to not wait at least like 3 years to say it, but I was ready to say it and he said it right after I did. That was right before we…you know…for the first time.

:)

Now we say it much more frequently, of course.

@tragiclikebowie we just knew we were so screwed

I was sitting in a hot tub….with her of course….bubbles up to our ears.

We were driving back from a party, and he was super drunk. We were hours away from home, and I accidentally got on the wrong freeway entrance, and drove 30 minutes in the wrong direction. After we figured out we were going the wrong way, he told me he loved me, and that he was happy I drove so far away, because it gave him a chance to tell me how he felt about me.
The next day, I asked if he remember what he said to me the night before, and he said he remembered every word, and he meant it all. : )

When we first met I always knew I would fall so hard in love for him. Anyway, we had been together a month, we were having a sex and I said it. I never planned it, but I just had to say it.

I remember she was sleeping on my couch and I leaned over and whispered to her that I loved her. She didn’t hear me but i also gave her a small kiss.

I knew my boyfriend for about 4 months before we started officially being a couple, and for most of that time I wasn’t interested in him. Over the last month before we became official, things started getting more intense and heated, and I got keener on him. We were sleeping together for a few weeks before we made things more official, and even the first time we slept together I had the feeling that, although I had planned to enter into this thing with no strings attached (something I have managed before), that wouldn’t work with him and the intensity of my feelings blew me away.

I didn’t say anything for a while… one day I think I just wanted to say it. It was a couple of weeks later, I’m not sure if were together by that point. We were lying in bed (not in a sexual way) and I came over all shy… this has happened to me before. My throat seizes up and I find it really hard to spit the words out, even though I’m certain that I mean them. I turned away from him and spent forever trying to get the courage. He was figuring out that something was up. Eventually, still turned away from him, I said, “I love you, OK”... lol. Then he asked me to turn over so that he could look at me. He then said, “I’m heading towards those feelings too”, and we hugged and kissed – yay!

That was 10 or 11 months ago and we are still together! Regarding your thoughts on the “right time”, for me the right time always came when I could no longer doubt the intensity of my feelings, so constant were they. I think if you’re waiting for the right time, you’re not ready yet. Please don’t feel pressure to do it from anyone – you know when it is right for you and I think it is best to wait until then. At the same time, try not to make a massive deal out of it in your head and freak yourself out of saying it – it is a perfectly natural and wonderful emotion to feel in a relationship and hopefully one that your boyfriend will be “heading towards” too – hehe! Good luck.

I told him after about a month of being together and we at his work place and he just asked me if I loved him. He told me after about the same amount of time when we were in a bath together in a hotel room but it took him another three years after that to say it again. I never doubted it as I know it’s not something that he has always found easy to say (he tells me wuite a lot nowadays) but it was nice to here it again after waiting so long.

There was a bunch of them in a pen. They were so cute. Wagging there tails, so eager to lick my face. I looked over to the corner and one was trying to get away. Having an adventurous spirit. That was the one.
I grabbed him, picked him up and said, “I love you.” We have been together ever since.

@ChazMaz That’s an experience I know well!

Hm.. After about 3 or 4 months. I’ll never forget that moment! We were standing at the top of the stairs, he looked at me and told me he wanted to tell me something. I was hoping that he would say what he said, that he loves me, and he did! And I told him I loved him too. We smiled, kissed and huged eachother, it was such a beautifull moment.

It was New Years & we were at his dad’s apartment in the hot tub.
We sat on the edge of the hot tub and layed back underneath the stars.
We both were skipping around the topic, and wanted to say it for a while.
He was beating around the bush & saying “Well.. If I tell you what I want to say I just don’t know how you feel & I wouldn’t want it to be weird for you.”
I knew what he wanted to say, so I kept telling him that I didn’t mind and that I was sure I would be okay with it.
He said it, I said it back.
We laughed about it afterwards & just continued to lay underneath the stars.
Probably the best day of my life.
