I love you.

So why is it so hard for most me to just say "I love you?" I find it really easy. Well, not that I'd just tell a total stranger that

 

I don't think it's hard.. or maybe it is, if you say it like for the first time to some person.. but then, I don't find saying it hard.

 

I don't find it hard to say that at all when I DO love someone. After all, all we need is love, lol.

 

What's just as bad is people who say it too much, even to loosely affiliated friends.
"Oh you know I LOVE you darrrrling!" "Love you babe!" *fake kiss on the cheek* I hate that and find it really superficial and telling of someone's character.
If I love someone I'll tell them, there's no problem for me to say it..

 

That's not nice, especially for a 38 year old man. :S

 

I am just going to assume you're joking, for the sake of my own sanity. LOL

 

If it is hard to say it, then you know you mean it. When you can casually tell someone you love them, then it isn't a sexual love, but if you have difficulty telling someone you love them, it is because it is so real and you are afraid that the feeling might not be mutual.

 

I agree with this.

 

I remember when me and this guy had a first date and at the end of the night the guy said 'i love you'.. Total mood killer, let me tell ya.. I went 'huh?'..

 

I write i love you a lot, but I hardly ever say it...

 

The only time I ever said "I love you" is during anal.

 

uh, if you love someone then why is it hard to say it...

i dont buy into all that if its hard to say it then you must mean it..why do people take the word "love" onto this whole different level..

if you want to say, say it.. if not then dont.. simple..\
this isnt a fucking John Hughs movie....

 

I agree. Oh, but I suppose they are referring to the feelings of "being in love" as oppose to simply "loving" someone... You think? I mean, when you're "in love", it's hard to say "I love you" at first for a number of reasons. Maybe some people are talking about THAT.

Umm, actually... That still doesn't really apply in my cases...

Ok, never mind, then! -disappears-

 

I say it all the time.....once or twice i've even meant it

 

i dont know but thanks for writing "that" in all caps for me...

All I know is people tend to love making their lives seem like a movie and like some drama.. if i am in love with someone i will wait and if the time is right i tell them..or if i get signs that they dont feel that way, then i dont.. its not some hard complex novel...

 

I know that for me it is easy to tell my friends and family that I love them. With relationships it's very different and it's not to make it more dramatic. For me it's just simple. I don't say it easy while I'm in a relationship and I'm very shy around guys/girls I find sexually attractive until I get very comfortable with them. That doesn't take long and love takes longer but it's like once I'm "in love" with someone, all that shyness comes back. I eventually say it but it always comes out so wrong the first few times.

Then again, I think that might be directly related to the fact that I have a mild case of social anxiety and is hard for me to express strong feelings.

 

i didnt say specifically you want to make it more dramatic did I...
people, dont deny that when it comes to love people are very maldramatic about it...so cut the shit...

 

That's obviously what makes it hard though.. Figuring out the right time, whether they feel the same or not.. Basically just trying to decide if you should say it or not.

 

I love you mystical

 

I think the only hard part about it is wondering if your partner feels the same way.

I've thought saying it was hard because I got scared of moving too fast, or feeling deeper than my partner did.
