I have said "I love you" only once to a girl. It was not sincere. I was young and thought it was what I was supposed to day. Now, many years older, I would only say it if I meant it. Though, I might hesitant out of fear she did not feel the same.

I'm a woman and I don't say "I love you" very easily, in fact I've said it to one person. You probably feel like it doesn't hold meaning because if you know someone for a month you're suddenly in love when it reality your lusting still. I wouldn't be the first one to say "I love you" and if I did it would be because I felt it from him and felt his nervousness in saying it first.

Some men share it like no limits at all. No meaning also... Of course some use it "right"... Well my "boyfriend" most of times hugs me tight and says I am totally crazy I say I know and kiss him.

3divina- Be suspicious of any male that says it too early, or a lot in a non-marriage relationship.

Usually those two come from other places other than the heart area.

They tend to be spoken like that solely for manipulation purposes !

It's a tool, so they can use their tool!!


When is it real?

If he pulls you close, and looks you straight in the eyes when he tells you; then, there is a good chance he is telling you the truth.

There's something fundamentally wrong with a society when you only hear men saying "I love you" when it is being spoken by hokey actors in a soap opera, yet tune into most any reality show, sit-com or movie and you'll hear plenty of "I hate your guts!"

Something else to consider is what type of love the expression "I love you" is conveying...lustful and manipulative, romantic, or simply a deep caring and fondness for someone without the above attachments.

My husband and I tell each other that we love one another all the time... usually just at random.

"Hey honey. Guess what?"
"What?"
"I love you."

My sweetie tells me all the time. Sometimes he even beats me to it. I hate saying I love you too.

one of the worst things that can happen is telling your other that you love them and they say back to you "thats nice"
