And who was the one to say it first?
I think I was the one to say it first to Mr. Bee (totally out of character!) within the first month, but he did tell his friend the day after we met that he had just met the woman he was going to marry... I couldn't top that.
My DH said 'I love you' first after only 2 months. It took me a month or so after that to be able to say it back!
My FI said "I love you" two months into the relationship and it REALLY took my by surprise!
My fiance said it first (after about 4 months or so?), but I was waiting for him to say it b/f I said it!
We were slightly under 3 months but we knew each other for nearly 10 years before we even started dating.
I went home the night after I met Nick at a friend's party and messaged my closest friend in my sorority house: "I met my husband tonight." She saved the message! I told him I loved him that month, but it took him a month or so longer to say it back.
He said it 3 weeks after our first kiss, but only 10 days after we officially became a couple. I waited another two or three weeks to say it back, and that was quick for me. He said that he was sure he loved me when he took me home to meet his parents, and he told me he did that night.
He said it first. About three weeks after we met. It took me another week after that. Ain't love grand?
I was a bit afraid of commitment, so I put decided that the "L" word was reserved only for good snowboarding gear. Fiance was also a little gun-shy, but called me up about 9 months into our relationship to tell me that he loved me. I held out a little longer, but let's face it, I was smitten!
DH said it the 2nd or 3rd week of our relationship. I was kind of scared since I just got out of a long-term relationship, but in my heart, I felt he was the One, so I said it back 3 days later.
Sometimes, you just know :o)
I said it first, but right after, he told me that he had been wanting to tell me for awhile and didn't because he was worried it was too soon. I think we both knew right away that we were "the one" for each other, but we were both hesitant to give in to our feelings.
he said it first. a week after we started dating. and about an hour or so after i came to the realization that i loved him. we were on the phone when i realized it but didn't say anything!
He said it first, very early in the relationship - maybe after 2 weeks or so. I knew I had strong feelings for him, but I didn't say the big three words until a little while later... I was 18, about to leave for college, and hadn't intended to enter school with any strings attached. I was conflicted and had never been in love before, so I wasn't quite ready to take the dive those words entailed.
My FI said it first. I was completely floored, and actually worried that I misheard him. ![]()
I said it back the following day. I wasn't sure how to vote in the poll. We had only been "officially dating" for about a month. Before that we were talking every day and going on casual dates for about a month!
My husband said it first... after one week of dating. I know that is SO fast, but we both felt the same way. We also both felt like that was the night we knew we were "the one" for each other and would get married one day.
My fi started to say it and I knew where it was going...and stopped him! That was about 2 months in. A few weeks later I was thinking I was crazy for not letting him say it, and I ended up saying it first! (which is against one of my relationship rules). But we both knew long before we started dating that this was going to be it.
My FI said it first, but he tried to cop out and say something to the effect of "I think I'm falling in love with you..." To which I replied, with a smirk, "You think?!" "Yeah...," he finally decided, "I love you." My reply? "Oh good, I love you, too!"
Yep, classic "us". Not the most romantic couple, but I think we're pretty awesome...
I said it after two months and he said it at three! But it was felt WAY before we said it. We had been friends for 6 months prior to us dating!
MY FI kind of scared me, he said it either 1 or 2 weeks in (but we had been talking for a month beforehand). I really wan't ready to say it until a couple weeks later. But, at least he was honest! :)
My FI said it first - after about 2 weeks of dating. Luckily I felt the same and was not scared off : )
I said it first, after 6 months of dating (4 of which were long distance). But I got the worst response ever..."Be careful with those words". Ouch! Shocked. Needless to say I wasn't going to say it again until he did. Two months went by and he finally said it. But he really meant it and it was such a special moment.
After our first date I went home and told my roommates that he was the one I was going to marry!
FI said the "L" word first in an email but I called him immediately after I got the email and told him I loved him too!
My FI set an all time record: Day 2.
He said (I'll never forget): "Before I met you it was like I had ashes running through my veins. I was dead inside. And now you're here and I'm alive again, and my heart is filled and ... I love you."
My response? What else? "I love you too!!"
This sounds horrible, but I said it like a week into our relationship. He did something super nice for me and I said something like, omg I love you. Then he said, I love you too, and I freaked out and told him I didn't mean it like that. He said he didn't either.
A couple weeks later I realized I really did love him and told him. He told me he meant it the first time. I don't know how he put up with me in the begining!
Mr. Taffy almost said it four months in, but instead said "I liiiiiiiike you." It was cute. He said it for real a month after that. :)
I said it first and just kind of blurted it out. It felt so good to say it, and even better when he said it back!
Mr Sushi said it first (about a month or two into our casual dating situation), and then took it back. LoL. I think he thought he was thinking it in his head because he looked totally shocked that he had even said it out loud. He tried to play it off, and I let him. About a month later he said it again (and took it back again); it took him a third time of saying it before he decided he meant it. By this time I was so used to this that I asked him if he was going to take it back again. I think he was real afraid of commitment at the time. LoL.
He said it first, As I was young and very insecure, I didn't believe him at first, and although I loved him and said it back immediately, it took more than a month for him to say it again.
Heh...I said it first, at 4 months. Mr Corn waited until 8 months...it almost killed me but was worth the wait.
He said it first after about five months. But he and I talked about what it meant to be in love about a month before that. We're each the only one the other has said it to, and when we first said it we knew that we meant forever--not something to fall into and then out of when it got difficult. We decided when I was 18 and he was 16 that we would one day get married. That was 5 years ago!
FI said it apprehensively first after about a month of dating. I said it quickly after... He was so relieved when I responded!
My FI also said it first about 3 months into our relationship. He always jokes that I waited 5 mintes to say it back. He said, "I love you" and I then lit up with joy, took the moment in, and replied back, I love you too." I can understand how 5 seconds can feel like 5 minutes after saying something like that. A year later we got engaged at the same spot with the proposal starting off with, "hey, remember when I told you I loved you here..."
Classic! :)
Two weeks, and he said it first. We'd known each other for 12 years before that, though.
I woke up in the middle of the nightone night, dying to tell him that I loved him, so I waited until he rolled over and told him then. He said it back and I finally was able to sleep.
We were incredibly close immediately, but it took 6 months for me to say it first. He upped the ante a couple weeks later by bringing up marriage, kids, and unofficially proposing.
About a month. We both felt it sooner but didn't want to rush 'saying it'. He said it first.
