I'm the one saying I love you too. While I do say that. There is "action" that goes behind that. If that is all your trippin off of then you really need an after school activity.

It's more to a relationship than being concerned about who says I love you first or not. While I believe that you should say it. It should not be a Red flag for people. Sometimes the most romantic things are things left unsaid. Example being date nights, the warm embrace from a significant other. The feelings that arouse when you look in each others eyes. The respect and admiration we have for each other. That is how I know you love me. Sorry I went a little too deep.

I think with me it goes both ways. I try to be the "ILY" person but my SO always seems to beat me to it at those moment and I wind up being the "ILY too" person. I seem to make up for it with my spontaneous moments where nothing seems to warrant me saying "ILY", because its not like I need a reason to tell him or anything. We're pretty balanced as far as "ILY"s go I think.

As for the ATM thing, I'm also paranoid, so if it looks like there's someone else who wants to use it I'll let them go first so there's no one around when I use it (unless I've got a friend waiting for me nearby). If I'm using the drive-up ATM at the bank then I'll try to be quick. Unless the person behind me is being impatient and keeps edging their car closer, or if they're doing that annoying thing impatient people do at red lights where they let off the brakes and roll back and forth waiting for the light to turn green. In cases like that I take my sweet time and am sure to go extra slow for them. *evil grin*

I'm considerate until someone is rude and impatient.

I'm the "I love you" one. It's very hard to get hubby to say those magic words, he will usually just say "so do I"... but he proves me that he loves me in so many ways that it's not (always) a big deal...

Do you think about it first alot more than your spouse? Are you the "I love you?" Or do you find yourself the "I love you too?"

In other words are you a person in the drive thru for the ATM and when you notice a car that pulls up behind you it makes you hurry up. Or are you a person who doesn't even notice that car waiting for you to finish your ATM transaction.

I am the one that is considerate of others. I will be telling the group I am with that we have to leave the resturant because they are closing and the staff all want to go home. Or the ATM I don't want anyone to get upset that I am taking too long so I will speed up a bit for the other person.

How bout you? What type of person are you?
I see what you're getting at - more of a personality type things. Sometimes I am the "I love you" person, and othertimes I am the "I love you too" person. Just depends on who says it first.

I am with you on being considerate of others. If I get in my car and notice someone waiting for me to pullout to take the parking spot, I hurry up. Same thing with the ATM, I hurry up so as not to have the other person wait.

This is just common courtesy that I think ALL PEOPLE should have. Especially the waiting for the parking spot deal. I make it extra fast if someone is waiting.

For the most part, I'm the type that will live and let live.. I'll be all nice and courteous for the most part.. But, I'll be the first to stand up for what I believe is right.. I won't let people push me around, and if I want something, I usually get it because of hard work and dedication.

As for the "I love you's", I just don't say it. I don't expect people to say it to me.. It's cliche. It's said so much that it almost becomes meaningless. Instead, I show it. Actions always speak louder than words..

Ok, go ahead, yell at me for that.. but that's just the way I am.
