    okay, so my gf loves me no doubt.

    we talk on the phone a lot. for a while I thought she was being cute when she whispered "I love you". but she did it a lot. so i asked her why she always whispers. She said she doesn't want other people to hear and ask questions...cause eventually they figure out she is in a distance relationship and of course, most people don't like distance and say "it won't work." so i reply well that is understandable, it could hurt your feelings to hear that but 1. that is assuming people will think negative to begin with 2. fuck what other people think. its always the people who know the least who have the most to say.

    so recently she has been saying it outloud more after I displayed my thoughts on whispering, by yelling "I love you" in a park in portland (city in maine).
    overboard? sure..but it was to prove a point, I don't give a shit who hears me.

    but she said "my roomies are coming back...I love you I love I love you" in a hurry as you could hear them coming in. i said, so what if they hear! she said "carl you know how i am". I replied "so what, just say it"..so she typed it to me as she simply said goodbye outloud. my point is, there comes a time where you love gets to a point where you can say it aloud and not give a shit who is around. I don't know why she is embarressed to say it in front of her roomies...they both like what they have seen/heard of me (one thinks I am cute she says), support us..so its not like they will say anything bad about the relationship like "distance does not work". should I let down on this..or ask her why she insists on being secretive about saying I love you quietly. i know she truly does. she really freakin loves me. and is why this situation perplexs me

    You have no idea how much we mock people for talking to their girlfriends like that.

    eh, I don't care. if its genuine.. eventually we all get mocked for something..if its for love, could be a heck of a lot worse.

    if you wanna sctrream it scream it..if she wants to whisper let her
    we all say it our own way

    some never say it only show it
    some say it all the time but never show it

    whats it really matter how she says it..its just something she'll eventualy work out on her own

    I hate to be the negative one, but if I was dating someone who was comfortable telling me he loves me when his roomies weren't around but then wouldn't say it when his roomies showed up, I'd start to get suspicious. I mean, if it's a serious relationship, not just some fun with no future, why be shy about letting everyone know?

    But, then, how old is your gf? When I was your age (going by what your profile says), I didn't really hang around with a lot of people my age... I've had friends who jokingly teased a friend for doing the ooey-gooey baby talk "I wuv ooo hunny bunny love dovey" crap, but I've never had anyone make fun of me for telling my fiance that I love him.
