Can't say those three words
75% Normal
9 Comments

I know its normal to tell someone you love them, but how do you know???? I know my boyfriend has deep feelings for me and he's almost ready to say that, since he bought it up in conversation. I find it so hard to say those three words due to past relationships.

Anyone know how to get over that and know you know you love the person?
Do you think it's normal?

It's normal. I'm not an "I love you" kind of girl. LOL I think it's an awkward phrase to say to almost anyone. I've only said it to someone who's been my lover for quite a while...then it becomes rather natural.

if ur finding it hard to know how to say it, r u actually in love?

if u dnt kno how u reeealy feel, chances are you might not be in love yet. time is what u need.

i'm sure it's one of those things u jst generally kno in the back of ur mind.

and you must try not to let past r.ships affect how u feel in the present and future ones.

Normal. my girl doesn't say i love you often, she says it like once a month. lol or whenever she feels like it.

Actions are better than words. lol

Just look at them. would you want to be with anybody else but them? When you think of them, do you smile? do you have feelings towards them that are hard to explain? those three words could have a lot of meaning, and you could feel it inside of you when you feel it. trust me.
forget the past, forgive the past - and go on with yourself.

Well, I'm sure that you tell family members and friends that you love them. There is a HUGE difference between "I love you" and "I'm IN love with you". They are completely different. So by telling someone that you love them all you are really saying is that you care for them deeply. In love is much stronger in context and refers to what you say to a significant other, you know when you're ready to tell someone you are in love with them if you NEVER stop thinking about that person, when you're not near them you are miserable, you would die for that person etc... It's a VERY powerful feeling much different than just loving a person.

dont force it, the words will just blurt out once you know that you mean them.

Completely normal, as you've already mentioned. Don't worry or pressure yourself into something you feel uncomfortable saying or just can't get yourself to do. If your boyfriend truly loves you, he will understand. And as a previous comment on here mentioned, yes, actions do speak louder than words!

There's a difference between loving someone and being IN love with them. I think the paranoia over saying those three words comes from not knowing that difference.
