African American Weddings

Who said "I love you" first.

I saw this on my Wedding Month board.

My Fi said it first maybe about 2 weeks into us dating. He definately fell first. I said it a few days later, but not as in "I'm in love with you!" way. He and I were friends before and I loved him as the friend he was to me. It was around my birthday that year which was just over a month into us dating when I realized I was IN LOVE with him. I continued to say it, and a few weeks later I told him about the point I knew I loved him.

    My baby said it about one month after we met.  I was somewhat expecting it from the way he'd been talking, but it was still a surprise when he actually said it.  I said it back right away b/c I had already fallen in love with him also!

    I really don't remember. I tried to ask FI this morning so I could participate in the poll, but he didn't remember either lol.

    He did. About 8-months after we started dating. I did about 2-months after that. Let's just say I have trust issues. Dated a lot of frogs and didn't want to put my heart on the line. Thankfully, FI was patient with me :-)

    I cant remember who said it first. I do remember 2 weeks after we had been talking on the phone and 1 date, he had asked where were we (meaning were we dating etc..) I was like whoa baby. He knew he had found a FABULOUS woman and he wasn't gonna let me go. lol

    He tricked me into saying it first. One day he just asked out of the clear blue " Do you love me?" I said yes. He said, " Good, 'cause I love you too."

    He said it first about 2 months after we started dating... He tried to say it a bunch of times for about 2 weeks before it finally came out... I believe his words leading up to the actual decleration were: "I'm falling" and  "i've fallen" ... every time I replied with "that's sweet!" knowing what he was really  trying to say lol...  He finally come out with it after our first argument... I think he was scared I was gonna drop him (I wasn't) lol

    Technically FI said it first.  I had whispered something that had "love" in it.  He thought I said, "I love you, too."  Funny, but sweet at the same time.

    He did. He had been chasing me for years. He always told me that I was the one. But I kept him in the friend category. I dont know exactly when or why I gave him a real chance. It just was the right time I guess.

    I said it first and he said to me "tell me something I don't already know" LOL.  He can be a real butt at times!  He did say it back a few minutes later though.

    I did.  I told a friend of mine earlier that day and then later on that evening I told him.  And he smiled and told me that he loved me too.  I was kinda embarrased because I had never told anyone that I dated in the past that I loved them first, but I guess I always knew that he loved me as well, so that's what made it easier.

    It was cute how he said it. The night before he officially said it, he told me on the phone that he was falling in love with me. The next evening we were watching movies at his place. We were cuddled on the sofa and he whispered in my ear, "I love you." Then, he kissed me. Then I replied, "I love you too." He was the first guy I ever said, "I love you," to.

    He said it first. He had a horrible week, and I had invited him over for dinner and a movie, and we were sitting on the couch talking, and he kinda just blurted it out. There was even a tear in his eye.
