my b/f told me he loved me and i didnt say it back because all my friends were there and i wasnt 100% sure if i was in love with him.my best friend started making jokes about him and laughing about him saying why on earth is he in love with you and to think you would love him back.then she asked me do i love him?i said i didnt and i just laughed it off.but i would have said i do but i wasnt sure if i was and to be honest i was a bit scared to say i was because i am so young and because of what my friends would say.but now i am 100% sure i am madly in love with my b/f and im ready to tell the world.but i cant contact my boyfriend because his phone is broke and we cant meet up.im afraid that because we cant be ringing and sending messages to each other that we might just drift apart.i really dont want that to happen.and if i tell all my friends i love him and then afterwards we break up they will just be making jokes and laughing at us because we said we loved each other but we still broke up.im really in love with him and he is the best b/f in the world but im afraid that because we wont be able to contact each other and we will just drift apart.now im so annoyed with myself i didnt say i love him that day when all my friends were there and most important he was there.he knows i really really like him but i want him to know i love him.have i messed it up?am i the worst g/f in the world?i need advice please give it,xxaoifexxx
okay i got this from seventeen mag. and like ill type it out. its like the perfect thing for this:
HOW SOON IS TOO SOON?:
Even if you've fallen for him after two fates wait until your together at least four months before saying "i love you". Those are strong words and could put too much pressure on both of you if they're said too early.
"i had been dating my guy only a few weeks when i decided to call a radio station and tell him i loved him on the air. it freaked him out and broke up with me the next day! i wont rush saying it ever again" - jessica, 19, carlsbad, ca
I SAID IT HE DIDNT:
Dont worry, tell him he really doesn't have to say it back- you just had to tell him how you felt. then avoid the "l word" for a month. if he hasn't said it, ask how he feels about you- you might be in different places.
"After a date with my guy, i blurted out, "i love you" but he said nothing back- it was awful. then a dew weeks later in the middle of a deep discussion, he said he loved me. im happy he waited until he meant it." -tamika, 18, superior, wi
HE SAID IT, SHOULD I?:
If you feel it, say so! but if you're unsure, saying it is misleading- and unfair. tell him you really care about him, but you not ready to say love. if you're both happy together, the feeling and words will come in time.
"The guy i was dating said he loved me. i said it back to be nice, but i didnt feel it. then i had to keep saying it, so i felt guilty and wished id never said it. i knew it was unfair to keep going, so i finally split up with him." -adruenne, 20, tampa, fl
just blow your friend off or tell them to stop making comments because hes your boyfriend and you really do like him. and if they cant understand that. then show them that your anyoyed and that you want your boyfriend and your relationship to be treated with respect just like yours and your friends relationship. like im sure you bf doesnt go around laughing at things that your friends say. so why shoudld they? dont be mean about it tho.
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
just keep that little thing in your head =] its from that song "Hey There Delilah" .
hope i helpedddd. =]
