Who said "I love you" first?
We did this on the NNJ board yesterday and I thought it was interesting to see what everyone said. Feel free to share the story of when it happened if you would like.
Re: Who said "I love you" first?
My husband said it first.
we were kissing a little before new years (quite intense) ... and he stops for a second and said "I love you, Jess".
I pretended not to hear him. I thought it just slipped out for him and he didnt mean it, so I wanted to let him off the hook.
He said it again a little later...and I said "I am falling in love with you, too"
we werent dating very long ...only about 2 months.
:-)
Now Im the one saying it constantly. ha
He said it first.
I won't go into details but he said he could never have sex with someone he didn't love. It took him about 3 days after that conversation to say it. It was about 2 weeks into dating. I think we both knew right away that we were in love and were going to spend the rest of our lives together.
I honestly don't really remember - It was a long time ago, haha.
I think it was said about 1 month after we started dating. If I remember correctly we were on a school trip in Pennsylvania on a bus - And we just had a very tiring day. We were at Six Flags, we competed in a band competition and spent the day at the park. I remember getting heat exhaustion because we were running late and had to run back to the awards ceremony. DH was mad at me because all the girls went on the roller coaster and left him with all the bags. But he wasn't mad at me by the time we got on the bus. I just don't remember who said it first but I know it was that day!
Tales From a Kitchen Misfit

wow, i totally have no idea.
we started dating at 16 WAY back in 1998... we had broken up a few times over the years so i'm sure there is at least 3 "i love you" first moments...
i'll share a sweet story though... when DH and I went to college we broke up for about a year and a half (our longest separation) and didn't talk or anything. we had new bf's/gf's new lives and no real communication. well fall of our Sophomore year and we start chatting casually. I think I had a bf at the time so it was like w/e. Well Christmas Eve I invite him to my grandmothers where everyone is and he first off, tries to give my sister my gift (granted we do look a lot a like and he CLAIMS he had a few beers beforehand) then we go upstairs to chat and he's like straight out - "You know I still love you" whoa - life changing moment? lil bit! had no idea he was going to say something like that! and that begun another go 'round on the Holly and Sami roller-coaster!
can't wait to read all the other stories!
lol and here's a pic of us from circa 1998...
i think this is our first photo together... sooo young!

I don't remember exactly the situation...I think we were on the phone and it only was about month and a half after we started dating. I know that I was falling for him, but was afraid to take it to the next level since I was only about 2-3 months out of a very bad relationship. DH said it towards the end of the conversation. I pretended that I did not hear him. The next day he said it again and then stopped and asked if it scared me....so we had to have that whole discussion...which was surprising not that hard...by the end of that conversation, I was able to admit that I was falling in love with him.
ME!!!
I was visiting DH in Ohio where he lived at the time. We had been casually dating for about 4 months before I said it. I knew it was a huge leap but figured I had to put myself out there.e
Before I said it, when I would hold his hand I would sign the love sign in the palm of his hand with mine. After a while that sort of became our thing when we couldn't say "i love you" but felt it....

Ours is kind of a funny story. After we'd been dating a little while I could tell that he loved me, but was too chicken to say it (he's bad at expressing that type of stuff). I felt the same way but didn't want to say it first since I thought it would be more special for him to say it first.
When we'd been together for around 5 months I threw him a surprise 40th birthday party. He was shocked and had a great time, but got really drunk. That night when we got back to my apartment he told me he loved me and it was the first time we talked about having a long-term future together.
The next morning when he woke up I quickly realized that he had forgotten a lot of what happened the night before. I asked him if he remembered what he said to me, and he said "did I drop the L bomb on you?". I said yes and his response was "good, because I've been wanting to say that for a while". So, yeah, basically he doesn't remember the first time we said I love you to each other and talked about getting married.
If you knew our relationship - this story is very "us".
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
DH said it first...probably about 3months into dating. He was cute he said I want to tell you something but I don't want you to have to feel like you need to say it back. Of course I wanted to but I was waiting for him to say it (didn't want to seem too pushy) It was perfect for us
But can you believe I remember the whole conversation but have no idea where we were?!?!? I think we were either in his old studio apartment or we were out by the water looking back at NYC (he lived in Queens)
I don't know how to answer this. We were drunk at our favorite bar and I guess I was looking at him weird and he said "you love me, dont' you???" and i said yes and started crying (i'm an emotional drunk, ha!) and he replied "well good, i love you too".
how romantic. hehe
I love these stories! These are great!
For us, it was ME!!
I knew right away that he was the one, but it took him a bit longer to admit it :-)
I can't remember exactly when and where, but I do know that it was me, because I remember waiting a long time to hear it back, and wondering if I had jumped to gun too quickly...lol...We had been dating about a year or so at that time. But I do remember when he first said it to me - I had a health scare, and while I was sitting on his lap bawling my eyes out, he said that he loved me, and whatever happened, we were in it together...That moment really changed things for us, because shortly thereafter we started house hunting to move in together...and the rest is history...And btw - we both say it to each other practically every day now :-)
Ours went pretty much like this ! It was only after dating for about 6 weeks, and we were just hanging out on the couch in his old apt. He felt like it was soon, but of course I felt it too, so I was thrilled!! I remember the first time he mentioned marriage was when we were literally getting in the car to go to the mall. He out of the blue sky turned to me and said "You know I'm going to marry you right?" and I said "Oh, ok, good" - it was such a random exchange but inside I was screaming and jumping up and down HAHA!!
I am loving these stories! DH said it first, about 6 weeks into dating (way early for me), I was too scared and embarrassed to say it because I really meant it!
LoCo: Love the "I dropped the L-bomb" hehehe

HE did!
We too were kissing and he stopped to say it, I thought it was an accident in the "heat of the moment
" Well it wasn't, We had been dating almost 2 months....(that seems like so long ago..5 years goes by so fast!) I said it back about a month later...I wanted to make sure he didn't think I said because he did.
