I know i love my boyfriend. I know because.. well.. i just know. I don't have to think about it twice and i care about him so much. And sometimes when were just laying together i want to say it to him soo badly. But i don't.
You see, we've been dating for about 7 months and the only times we really say i love you is like if were signing off aim or through a text message. Never in person yet though. I feel like that is a pretty big step. But i know i want to.
I have reservations though: Is saying "i love you" for the first time the boys job? What if i say it and he doesn't say anything back? Should i say it at a random time or plan it?
If anyone has been in this situation please help me out. Even if you havn't and you have an opinion, anything would be appreciated! thanks so much.

And you areright, you are not responsible for saying "i love you" first. Let him say it and then you will know if you are truely ready. Hope i helped =]=]

Just say it casually, the first time, like when you're leaving each other. See if he says it back. Don't do it in front of friends. If he says it back, I say pull him into a long embrace, look straight into his eyes, and say it again. Most people really like hearing their significant others say "I love you." If he's not ready for it, then either you're too young or he doesn't feel the same way for a different reason, but he shouldn't be saying it by text. I think you'll be okay. Dive in head-first, girl!

Because you know how it always works-one person wants to say it, and is afraid, and it just causes confusion. If you feel more comfortable with him saying it first, then wait. Until your ready, at least. Or, if you feel ready and enough to say it, write him a letter telling him how you feel about your relationship.

Xenolan answered Tuesday January 30 2007, 10:39 pm: Saying "I love you" isn't the boy's job. Nor is it the girl's job. When one of you has such feelings, express them!
I think you should tell him, but be aware that he might not be ready to say it in return. If that's the case, try not to be upset - he may feel it for you eventually, but some people take more time than others. So if he doesn't say it back, it's NOT a rejection. It's just that he wants to wait until he can say it and really mean it.
There's no need to plan it, but don't pick a random moment either; pick the RIGHT moment. You'll know the right moment because it will feel right. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
