There are very few things that I refuse to write about for Datingish, but the moments that I've first said "I love you" to S/Os are included.
Sure, I'll tell a few close friends about these moments. But while I'm open about other aspects of my romantic life, the first time I say "I love you" is different. That I truly believe is something private, mostly meant for the two of us. And maybe I'll gush about it to my closest friends, but not to Datingish. Sorry.
That said, saying "I love you" for the first time is one of my favorite moments in a relationship. It's always so sweet, and innocent. And terrifying, if you say it first. But most of all, it's an acknowledgment of what you have, and that is beautiful.
So for me, saying I love you is mostly private, but I know that's not the case for most of you. For those of you who are more open about your romantic lives, why not share the story? Because these sweet romantic moments often make for the cutest stories. And I don't know if you noticed, but I'm a sucker for adorable things.

Since you refuse to tell, I refuse to tell. Two can play this game. *rubs hands together in an evil fashion*
Uhh thinking about it now I don't remember the first time I said those words.... eek
I don't currently have a significant other, and my exes were usually the first ones to say it. Even then, the ones that did say it just threw it around like it didn't really mean as much as it should. I think my ex-fiance was the first one to say it to me, and I wasn't really sure I loved him at the time. He pouted when I hesitated, so I said it back. Needless to say, I hate pouting. I don't put up with it from men anymore. I tell my friends that I love them all the time, and mean it, but the only significant other I've ever wanted to say it to, didn't want to hear it. He would get so freaked out and paranoid when I just told him I missed him. There was no room to tell him I loved him.
Some day, that first moment, will be very special.
I'm sorry to see that there aren't more first time stories on here yet.
i'm not currently in a relationship but the last one, i was with my ex and he and i were just laying on the bed and i said that i loved him and he just looked at me and he didn't even say anything back to me. but i meant what i said to him. i believe you should always say what you feel without any regrets.
@superGchik@xanga - that sounds horrible. but it sounds like you have a really awesome attitude about the situation. i think it's kind of inspiring :)
I have never said it first.... not even second, third or fouth. Usually the guy says it over and over, and there's only so many times I can get away with "Awwww... thanks!" and I will say it back eventually, although not really meaning it.
With my most recent ex, he had been saying it for 6 months before I said it back. But I meant it wholeheartedly when I finally said it, actually I would have meant it months earlier, but can't take these things lightly, right?
Anyway, no one cares that much about your sacred "I love you" moments. You degraded the entire post by refusing to tell your own sweet/romantic/cute/adorable story as if the whole intention of the post was to get others to? I know you recognize this, but it's doesn't make it any less stupid.
I agree that it was a very special moment. I remember feeling so special and loved when he first told me that! Just like the first kiss. :)
I told my boyfriend very early on because I was going through a difficult time and he stuck by me and I knew I loved him. I told him I didn't need him to say it until he was ready and I wasn't going to say it on an everyday basis yet I just wanted him to know how I felt. I don't regret saying it because it was true. He has since passed away and now I know just how important it is to say what you feel when you feel even if you are afraid because you might not get tomorrow to say it.
I was giddy and giggly like a little school girl, even at 24. It was so nice to be able to say it - we were only friends for 7 years, and couldn't date until last year. When we finally opened up about how we felt for another, it was like I took my first breath of air. I was finally free :) And I love every second of my relationship!
@Living_just_2_breathe@xanga - that's so beautiful and sad. i'm so sorry!
@oneLBcloser@xanga - if no one cares that much, why is it a problem that I don't say them? I tell Datingish pretty much about my sex/love life because it's my job. I think this is an interesting topic, so I wrote the post. But it's my life and I will keep it private because I so choose.
The first time I told him I loved him I was half asleep texting him good night. He had texted me saying he was going to bed, something like "I hope you sleep well, good night" to which I responded, "Okay, good night. love you too." I didn't even realize until hours later when I was fully awake rereading our messages, thus depicting that he ignored the situation (which was totally fine by me.) We talked about it a month or so later when we said our first "I love you"s for real. :p
