Love help: isn’t saying i love you to your bf or gf a big deal? - Help.com

isn’t saying i love you to your bf or gf a big deal?

!i mean hell im in hs and people are saying it left and right.granted its those charming people who sleep with every person they meet but i mean my best friend told her bf she loved him.
after 6.frickin.weeks.
not joking.
does that seem abnormal to ANYONE?!
love is a big deal!!i define someone i truly love (like best friend or family or whatever) as someone i’d take a bullet for.
no thats too much of a cliche.
someone i’d jump out of an airplane without a parachute for.

does anyone out there share the sentiment here?!

i agree too! i’ve never been in love, but i look at it as a big thing. sure there are those cases where people fall in love faster than other people. but you can tell when it just doesn’t seem real…

maybe they dont really know what love is yet. so as far as what they know what love is, they love that person. maybe they dont know that much of love, but thats what they know.

so maybe you to they are throwing around that love word too much.
but to them they might actually mean it.

i think 6 weeks is long enough to say i love you if the feeling is there, for example you could e long time friends and i love you would be a lot faster then some one you just met, i’ve only dated my gf for 8 months and we are in love and been saying i love you since less then 6 weeks, we had been friends, we are engaged now for 3 months, i think the time to say i love you depends on each couple, but i do agree that its a serious thing and i believe it should only be said if you feel that way

its very hard to tell the difference between high level attraction and what love really is. anyone can say i love you but there is a certain unexplainable feeling that IS love. i cant tell you when it happens or what it is. but you know when it happens. plain and simple. most teenagers and ppl of the younger group cannot define what it means to love someone truly unconditional

I understand completely!
However, there’s a fine line between love and lust and, in certain moments, the line becomes blurred.
I tend to say “I love you” a bit soon, but I let them know that it’s just me showing them I care for them. Later on I move to “I am IN love with you” which has a much bigger impact.

ok, well it depends if they had the feeling they both loved each other, some people it comes earlier and for some later, it depends, if you really really love someone and feel you would kill your self for that person than it is alright to tell them no mater how soon it is! but if they are just saying that but just really really like each ther then i agree that they should have told each other later.

i think its not a big deal cus if love someone sooo much then you would act like it and so i suggest its not a big deal and also if you love someone then you would tell them how much u love them and all sorts.

anyway.. if you love someone deeply yhou should not only say it, you should back it up. saying “i love you” is empty if u never commit or take the time to be with one another and make each other feel special. simple as that..

if you feel love then its a big deal and its wonderful but i love you are just words you gotta show you mean it when you say i love you to someone and when you say it and feel nothing thats not love but when you say i love you to someone and it just makes you feel so good to say those words to that person and you would do anything for them and always be there for them and show how you feel about them then thats when you love someone whether there ur bf/gf friend mom whatever

Yeah! Kalorok is on a roll man!
Love is definately something that has to be shown through actions and behavior…
*sigh* …as Ewan McGregor put it- “Love is a many splendored thing,
Love lifts us up where we belong,
All you need is love!”
