simple question...when do you tell your significant other that you love them?

Well if you call this person your significant other...I think you better do it soon

It is a good question though.

For me, I said it more frequently when I was younger...the word just spilled out to boyfriends early in my gay career. As I got older, I think I learned what the word "love" meant to me. Because of this, it has become much harder to say.

I was speaking with a friend who is just crazy about a guy he has been seeing for a couple of years. I asked him if he loved the guy.

His answer?

"We are beyond that. We don't have to say it...we know it."

I found that interesting.....

when you really mean it, or nothing about your guy annoys you to death :-)

When you know you want to him to be yours and yours only.....

Say it the minute when you realize your in love w/ him!

yes, thats a very interesting question, i also have friends are no need to say love you, but for me is important, i think it is depend on the person.

and when???? mmm.... when the right moment come, you will know. the first time i say it to my bf is after friend's birthday dinner, we were walking back home, was holding hand and i just tell him i love him. i have to admit i was a bit drunk. at the time i was a bit stress after i spit the word, i don't know how is he going to react, then he said he love me too, i felt soo ........ ( say it, u will see)

Just play them this song and start getting it on again.

Annie Lennox sang it best, in my opinion.

"Some people never say the words I Love You, but like a child they are longing to be told."

"Some People never say the words I Love You, it's not their style to be so bold."


Don't wait for someone to tell you, just say it if you feel it I guess. I have to admit I never have but have felt it.

When they are just that significant. ;)

never they stop sucking cock after they find out they have you!

or so I'm told.

LMAO! funny answer

I don't even know what it means to 'love' someone.

When he buys you that sweet little Audi TT-RS you've always wanted, it's okay to tell him you love him. But if it's in the wrong color or the interior is alcantara instead of leather, you just give him the boot instead. That's what page 312, paragraph 3 of the manual says, right?

Love? Bah.

after they tell you.

Step 1 - ask yourself if you love the idea of having a relationship, or if you love the person. There's a big difference between the two.

Step 2 - ask yourself if you're able to say "I love you" without needing to hear it back. If you're saying it just to hear it back, then you love the idea of being loved, but it doesn't mean you really, really love the other person.

Step 3 - have a few shots of tequila, say it anyhow, and see how you feel in the morning. If you think "aw sh*t why did i say that," it probably wasn't the right time to say it. But, on the other hand, if they're still there, you didn't scare them off. And if they're gone, oh well, just have another tequila shot....

When I'm sure I'm ready to live up to the meaning of that word with the person I am with...good times and bad.

True love is an action verb in my book. I say it when I mean it and when I'd do everything to prove it. That said, I feel that my actions should speak for themselves first.

Good gosh, let's see...we say it to each other at least twice a day x 365 days x 20 years....14,600 times so far, each.



not too shabby

I don't think there is a rite tme to say it. It's how you feel, it's how the person makes you feel. I think love is earned though and it isn't a word i'd toss around to just anyone. By saying it means you're giving a part of you to that person and that should be earned. When you feel it's rite then just do it.

I would use the "L" word only when I'm sure about it - - and I really mean it.

In all seriousness, my boyfriend and I show it much more than we say it. Say something too reflexively, too casually, and it loses power. Nearly two years in, we still probably average about once a week. Like I said, we show it much more often, however.

Every "relationship" I've been in, I've been told within a few weeks. Which usually scares the hell out of me. But I usually realize that most men (okay, boys...) confuse attachment, attraction, affection, an attention with love.

I'm scared to feel it, let alone say it.

Yeah. Been there. Nothing sends me running faster.
