When to Tell Him 'I Love You'

April 14th 2009 20:31
Telling your boyfriend that you love him is a big step in any relationship. It's an important step a relationship, which is why it is important to know that you're ready to say it before you actually say it.

You want to make sure that you mean it and that you're ready for what the next step in your relationship brings. If "I love you" is said too early in a relationship, you may find that the relationships ends with, "we moved too fast and I don't think we're ready for this, which isn't what you want to hear or say to someone.

You want to make sure that you're mentally prepared for whatever response you get in return, especially if you're not sure whether he feels the same way about you. You are putting yourself in a vulnerable situation, and you want to make sure that you are mentally able to cope with whatever response that you get.

When you think that it is time to say the 'L' word, you don't want to blurt it out, but at the same time you don't want to stage it too much. It's best to leave it as natural as possible.

It is hard to tell you when is the perfect time or how to to go about telling him that you love him, as when you get to that point in your relationship, you will know that it's time for those three little words.

Although, it is a little staged, my best friend had the cutest way to telling his girlfriend that he loves her. He set up clues around her apartment as to their first kiss, first this, first that. and basically set up up on a scavenger hunt until she got the letters and was able to put them together. And, of course when she had it all set up, they said 'I love you.' This worked for him and his girlfriend, but I don't know if it will work for every girl. Personally, it would be too much work for me.

The scavenger hunt idea can be really sweet, but I've also heard it having the opposite effect - that it can make the girlfriend/boyfriend feel like they have to do all this WORK just to be told something. I guess it depends on who's involved.

Personally, I like post-its: leaving one on the bathroom mirror or the side of the kettle with a little heart drawn on it or a message goes a long way to showing your partner you care. They keep finding these little messages randomly, out of the blue.

I think there is never a right or wrong time to say those words to a guy. Just make sure when you say it, you really mean it and it is not just still in the infatuation stage. It will either work for you or against you but if they don't feel the same way it's probably best to know. Most guys will either say they love you too, they don't feel quite that way - yet, or they don't feel it at all. at least you'll know where you stand.

The first time a girl told me she love me was in high school, I like that girl just as much also, but consider the fact we were only friends (and had been that case for 2 years.) my only response was "WHAT!!!???" I was really suprised and she was quick to take back what she said and start talking about something else.

The second girl that ever told me she love me was in Uni and my response was exactly the same, because she was in an abusive relationship in the time and she couldn't leave the jerk ass she was dating, despite the fact I told her to dump the ass hole for a million times already. She took back her "I love you", after she said it for 3 times in a roll, because evertime she said I love you, my response was "What did you said?", in a very suprise manner and I think there might be something wrong with my ears.

Spike, the scavenger hunt only works for some people. Like I said, it wouldn't have worked for me, but it worked very well on his girlfriend.

Johnny, Agreed as long as you are ready, there's no reason to plan out how or when you're going to say it.

Peter, it sounds like girls love you.

I won't call that girls love me, consider the fact that it was only 2 girls and I have lost contact with both of them by now, plus we only remain as friends afterwards.

It was more a joke than being serious. But at least you have remained friends.
