So after yesterday's essay length response question, I decided to keep it short & sweet today!
When was the first time you & FH said 'I love you' to each other? Who said it first? What were the circumstances? How long into the relationship was it? Are you happy with when you said it? Did you ever regret it?
Ok, so not that short. I have issues being concise!
The first time FH & I said it to each other was about 3 weeks into our relationship. We were both rather buzzed, and I started pouring my heart out to him about all these family troubles and such.
We had a heart to heart for awhile, and then he stopped and he said, 'I hope you don't think I'm crazy' (since we hadn't been together that long), 'But I love you.'
And I responded with 'I don't think you're crazy because I love you too.'
THEN, I made him swear up & down that he would still love me in the morning. I'd had experiences in the past where someone told me they wanted to be with me while they were drunk, an then as they sobererd up changed their minds. So I was nervous, but I trust him, and trusted him then too. And it was perfect. I remember when I was leaving his house the next morning, I was standing by my car and he hugged and kissed me, and then said 'I love you' again, and I was so happy. NEVER regretted it for a second!

FH said it to me first about two weeks into our 'official' relationship We were dating for about a month before it became exclusive, but it freaked me out like crazy and I just kinda looked at him like 'uhhhhhhh.....' He told me not to respond, but that he wanted me to know how he felt.
Finally about another week later, I said it back to him. And I don't regret any of it

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
I think it was around a month into our dating. This is a story we laugh about but its also something sweet for us. The weeks leading up to us saying I love you, we had this unspoken thing...we both knew what we wanted to say but noone would get up the kahones (spelling, lol) to say it so we always did this thing where he would take my hand and put it over his heart and i would take his hand and do the same on my heart. Then it my unrelentless and shamless attempt to get the conversation going about 'I love you' I would start to say, so, I want to tell you something and then I would go 'nahhhh' and he too would do the same. What loosers! Then one night we went into the city, got really drunk and he said it while we he was sitting on a hydrant and i was leaning up against him. We laugh that our oh so romantic moment lead up to that but it was awesome and I wouldnt change it for anything. We still sometimes do the thing where we put our hands on each others heart.
So, he goes the next day, um yeah, so I meant what I said and I go, hm I dont remember anything, lol. Then we had the sober i love yous

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
I think FH said it like a week and a half into the relationship, but I'm not sure cause we were falling asleep. He refuses to admit that to this day Then we were buzzed at a friend's bday, and while falling asleep I told him I was inlove with him. He said thank you that was 3 weeks into our relationship a week later we were leaving this jazz bar/restaurant and it was raining, so we were standing by the entrance and just looking at the empty beautiful street and then he said it to me in Hebrew, which meant the world to me cause that's my main language don't regret any of how it all came about

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
Awww! I love everyones stories!! So sweet!
I think it was about 2 or 3 months into the relationship. We went out with a couple of friends that night, and I remember saying to my friend that I wanted to tell him I loved him, and she was telling me not to, and that he should say it first, and after we went home to his house he said it!! I couldn't believe he said it, I remember saying OMG and telling him the story abt the conversation me and my friend had, and I of course said I love you back! It seems like such a long time ago... ( almost 7 years ago )

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
this was a funny story...
About six months into our relationship I felt like it was time to say it... we went on our first trip to AC nd he told me he'd enver gone away with any of his ex's... and that made me think...say it now! I said... 'you know that thing, ur supposed to wait to say... i kinda wanna say it' and he laughed and rolled off the bed and walked (ran) into the bathroom. LOL I was curshed!! A month later we were hanging at his house... where I has basically moved in and i said 'how do you feel about me' He said' I like you alot' I laughed and said thats it? He bascially knew where I was going and badgered me into saying it first to which he said 'i love you too' HJe laughs still today and says you said it first... and makes fun of me that i cried when he said it back... haha im a sap!

Such cute stories!
I love how half of us were drunk or sleeping
I think that's the only way to have guts to say something so huge, gotta be a bit drowsy - helps to get over our inhibitions
great stories everybody!

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
So FH and I started talking in mid-March but we didn't actually meet in person until the beginning of May. About a week and a half after talking, both of us were really itching to say it, but we didn't want to because we were worried about not having chemistry in person...if that happened and we had said 'I love you' already, it really would have made it that much harder on both of us. SO we'd say 'I heart you SOOOOOO much' until we saw each other for the first time.
Then he came here for the first time...he got off the plane and I knew we'd have no problems w/carrying everything over to being in person. So we get his bags and go to the place we're staying and we are just, you know...getting to know each other (if you catch my drift) and right before the actual action gets started he leans up and whispers 'I love you' and I said it right back and then cried a lil so we had to wait a couple mins before I was ready to go again

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
Ours was really funny, its was thanksgiving-eve and we were all out with our friends, i was half in the bag, and we were out on the dance floor and i slipped and said it (we were dating for about 3 weeks) and he couldnt hear me cause the music was so loud. He asked me to repeat it and i got so embarassed! He starting laughing and he then said it too, i barely rememberd it when we woke up... Then it all started to come back to me and we laid in bed an laughed about it

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
We both started realizing it was something special within a month of our relationship. I said it first and then he told me he wanted to say it also.
I had just come out of a bad 'relationship' and we started dating and he was just so great. My ex called me and I could care less about talking to him and that's when I knew FH was my main guy.

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
I can honestly say.... I don't remember where we were. He said it first ... I think... I have no idea if I said it back. Is that the saddest thing?
I'll ask him.... maybe he can refresh me.

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
our's was a sort of funny story...We were drunken bowling with a bunch of friends about a few months into our relationship and towards the end of the night a friend and I had gone to the bathroom. I dont know what I did in there but all I remember is I was crying my eyes out bc I had gotten my hand stuck in something and one of my fingers was getting swollen and bruised...So of course I killed the party and we all leave. Our friend Russ was driving us both home that night and Shawn was going to walk me to my door (I think this was the last time he ever did that lol) Well, him and I are standing in my driveway saying goodbye and he is trying to get me to stop crying before I walk into my house (Yes, I was still crying at this point, 20 minutes later...looser) So he looks me straight in the eyes and says 'Stop crying baby, I love you' That made me stop crying immediately and I hugged him and said, I love you too. After he left my house I was thinking he didnt mean it and I was just going about my business and didnt think much of it. But he called me later that night/early in the morning and wanted to check on my hand/finger. When we were going to hang up the phone he say's again, I love you...I knew he was a keeper when he wouldnt stop saying it, I was like enough already i get it!!! Thinking about this is making me blush like it just happened...lol

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
I said it after about a month and when he didn't say it back (he said he had really strong feelings for me but he wasn't ready to say it) I cried the whole way home that night thinking I screwed everything up saying it too soon and it's going to drive him away lol Then about 5 months later I met him at his dad's bar and we went into the back yard area and he just turned around and said 'I love you.' I started crying because I was so happy lol

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
Two weeks after FH and I met he had to go to Florida for work for 2 weeks. We talked on the phone everyday, texted non-stopped, emailed constantly, IMed when our phones would die... We found out so much about each other in those two weeks it was insane. about 3/4s of the way through we were on the phone one night and he got really quiet and said he had something to tell me and I just said, some things are meant to be said in person... he agreed. The day he got back we had our first official 'sleep over' planned. We ordered in chinese and made out like High School kids. And finally he said it! I said it back, twice (because I didn't think he heard it the first time). It was such a great moment!! I miss all of those firsts sometimes!!

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
I said it first, about 2 months in. I'd been wanting to say it it but didn't know how. So one night when I was drunk, I told him. The next day, he asked if I remembered what I said and I said yes, and then he said it too. Never regretted it for a minute!

Re: QOTD 05/20/09!
For us it happened about 2 months into it. We've had that slightly uncomfortable something is missing feeling every time we said goodnight. We even teased each other about it, who's ganna say it first. And one day we were at his friends house watching a movie (not really watching lol) chatting about our past and how we both didn't want this to be a rebound and i said something about being insecure (which is total BS cause i'm actually quite full of myself lol). So that night we were making love and he says to me so u still insecure? and i just looked at him like WHY r u talking to me NOW? and he tells me well because i love you. I make fun of him to this day, it was so cute and corny.
