Saying “I love you” can be just as confusing as figuring out whether you’re in love or lust. Do you say it first? Do you wait for him to say it first? And when you’re ready, how exactly do you say it? See, I told you it’s confusing. Anyway, we’ve obviously got your back. Here are the moments when saying “I love you” to your significant other is inappropriate:
- After your first, second, third date (heck, give it at least three months)
- When you’re about to ask for something
- After you’ve been caught snooping
- After you’re partner has hit you (you should be dialing 911)
- Before you fart while spooning
- When you’re woozy from prescription meds
- When you’ve asked him not to invite his mother over
- After you’ve been caught in the act of cheating
- When you’re about to get dumped
- When you’re giving a blowjob

11. Just after he’s said he’s going to Australia for a year. Without you.
*sigh*

How about before you even start dating? My gf of 5 years did that, and I wonder sometimes if perhaps it was a sign of the clingyness and attachment issues that were to come…

this is kind of pitiful to admit but she said it 1st over the phone while I was working on a Sunday. we had been talking but I was focused on what I was doing (i.e. 1/2 listening) and at the end of the conversation she said “I love you” to which I reflexively replied “I love you too…” and hung up. a few seconds later a had an Elmer Fudd moment (delayed realization) and was kind of in shock - not that I didn’t mean it, just that it happened that way. when I saw her later she said she had the same experience - just kind of came out, hung up & realized “what just happened?” anyway, we’ve been married 13 yrs so evidently we meant it even if it wasn’t particularly romantic…

Nothing beats saying it at the height of orgasm.
Ooops.

writergirl, this is why sometimes I think it might be better if safe sex also involved duct tape over the mouth…

I dated a guy who after about 3 months during sex i said “I love the way that feels” or something to that effect and he FROZE lol, totally froze; deer-in-the-headlights-FROZE, so we had a big discussion about loving something didnt translate into being in love…we dated for 7 months and he could never even tell me he had missed me, that he liked me…nada…and YET in the middle of a bj he whispers “i love you” and then immediately went back to being completely emotionally weird. WTH?

After about two dates? Should have taken that to be the writings on the wall, but I hurriedly (and hotly) said it back. The deal was done. Sex was great. Relationship would have been phenomenal if not for mommy issues. One out of two isn’t bad.

I had a guy tell me he loved me after our first official date. We knew each other for one month and did stuff as a group of friends. Then we went out, and spent the day together. When we were saying goodbye (it was a really nice day) he leaned in and said “I love you” and kissed me. WTF!! I must have looked shocked cuz he followed up with “you don’t have to say it if you don’t feel it.” OMG! Ruuuuuunnnn!!! went through my head, so I did.
