Those Three Little Words!

I did. Then I started crying, because he was about to graduate college and I was unsure I would ever see him again. 🙈 Took him 2.5 more years to say it back.

I said it first , 2 months in and later that day he (half)jokingly said I "stole" him this millestone because he was planning to say it that day , a couples of minutes after I actually said it, so he planned this "for nothing" LOL.

However he says it more often. ♥️

Ha!! Our story is so awkward. But we were having a moment and I got so overwhelmed with emotion and like my tongue was stuck in my throat and he stopped and looked at me and said Yes I love you too. I will never forget it. Then we walked to the Greek and saw Ray Lamontague and ended the night sharing a hotdog. 060318 is a night I will never forget.

He said it first. I wanted to say it for a while, but just couldn’t - I was worried about scaring him off. We were carving pumpkins, baking pumpkin seeds and just laughing a lot. Then he said to me, “I do love you and am in love with you. I know you wouldn’t be the first to say it bc of being worried to scare me off”. He knows me lol

He said it first only like six days after we first met 😂 It took me an extra week. But we spent a looooot of time together

He said it first. I had been thinking of it all day, and probably would've said it at some point if he hadn't. We were on a weekend getaway for Valentine's Day and it was the first time we were able to just relax and not deal with family crap. On the ride there as we were laughing and joking around it just hit me super hard that I loved him and I think that was the same for him. It was like 3 weeks into official dating and less than 2 months after he first messaged me online lol.

View Quoted Comment Aww, did you end up still seeing him often once he graduated? Or did you lose touch and reconnect after a little bit?

View Quoted Comment Haha, great minds think alike! That's awesome that you each had planned to say it on the same day!

View Quoted Comment I visited him a few times while he was in grad school. It was pretty rough because he didn't want a relationship at the time. Luckily he came around!

View Quoted Comment Very cool! Awesome that he knew what you were trying to say. Sounds like it ended up being a good day for you both!

View Quoted Comment Truly the best day of my life. Thank you for the post to remind me of that. It was such a little thing but sharing that hot dog and walking home from the Greek was the best.

My husband did. We had known each other for years, and he said it pretty quickly after we got together.

However, I was the one who made the first move!

He did! We were making out half dressed on my bed... so not the most romantic timing lol. But I was really glad he said it. I'd been wanting to say it the couple weeks prior, but kept freaking myself out that it was too soon and that it would scare him off or he wouldn't feel the same, etc.

View Quoted Comment Lol, that sounds like a perfect time to say it! And very cool that he knew you well enough to know that he should probably say it first.

We said it sometime around july which was around 4 months or so into our relationship

it's funny cus i knew it was coming and i wanted to say it so much earlier to him but didn't yet since i didn't know what he felt

but i knew of hints it was coming because in weeks leading up to it he had said "i more than like you" lol

View Quoted Comment Awesome that you both fell in love with each other so quickly! Spending a lot of time together is always a good sign that you found your person.

He said it first, twice lol

The first time he said it was in a text while he was drunk before we even started dating, I panicked and ignored him for 2 weeks.

He then said it again the day before we started dating, again slightly tipsy.

I finally said it back a month into us officially dating, but we had been in our "Talking" stage for 6 months prior to making it official.

I said it first. We had been dating about 3 months and it just verbal vomitted out of my mouth as we were cuddling. He reacted by freaking out not knowing if he was ready ( he had just been through a rough divorce) and ended up leaving my house. I was sure that I had lost him and fell apart. Two days later he asked me to come over for dinner and I was sure that he was going to break up with me but I put on a brave face. He ended up telling me that he did love me and was just caught off guard and didn't know how to say it. So I spent two days freaking out for that.

Ugh, MEN.

View Quoted Comment Aww, Valentine's weekend is such a romantic time to say it for the first time! Awesome that you both felt it around the same time too, sounds like it was a great weekend for you both!

View Quoted Comment I can see how that would be rough! Though I'm sure he appreciated your support while he was in grad school. Glad he came around, it sounds like it was meant to be!
