How to say ‘I Love You’
I think I’m in love with my boyfriend and I want to tell him, but I don’t know how! We’ve been going out for over a year and he is so sweet and nice to me and is always calling me and texting me and making me feel special, and we’re together all the time. But he hasn’t told me he loves me yet which makes me nervous to say it first. I’m 17 and this is the first time I’ve been ‘in love’ so I’m really scared!
I know it doesn’t make you feel better right now, but everyone in the world will be in this position at some stage in their life. It can be very intimidating to express how deep your feelings are for someone. It is human nature to protect ourselves, so putting yourself in a position that can potentially leave you vulnerable and open to getting hurt is a really difficult thing to do.
Big step
Telling someone you love them for the first time is a big step. If it’s too early in the relationship then you risk making this guy feel pressured into saying the same to you. On the other hand, he could be sitting in the same boat as you, wanting to tell you that he loves you but too worried that you’re going to be scared off. So perhaps by telling him it’ll give him the confidence to say ‘I love you too’?
It all depends
What I’m trying to say is that there are many possible outcomes to this situation, but they end result will depend on what stage of the relationship you two are in. Every relationship is different, some couples might start saying “I love you” after a week of dating, other couples may wait years to finally say how they feel. Only you can know if it’s the right time to pop the “L” word. Just wait for the moment when it feels right and you’re confident enough to say it. Keep in mind that it’s not the end of the world if he doesn’t say it back, in fact it’s a good sign - it means he wants to be honest and truthful about the relationship. Good luck! Sarah xx

Maybe he’s thinking the same thing and is too scared to say it, by saying it first might be a good step. Be the girl who takes risks, it might pay off in the end Posted by POWERBALLIN25 "on" 08/14 "at"10:10 AM |

If thats how you feel say it, just dont get mad if they dont say it back straight away, you want them to say it genuinely when they feel they love you too. =) Posted by Xxc0rtxX "on" 08/12 "at"05:53 PM |
