Is it possible to say "I love you" too much?
Yes, those words can be overused so being careful to always say them with intense emotional content is important. When I say the exact words "I love you" they are always said (to my wife) as i look in her eyes. When it's more in passing and quick, it's "Love ya!" to break up the serious and intense way to say them. There are other ways to depart the way you feel with other words too...... "Hope you pass that test you've been studying for!" "Call me when you get free.....I'd love to talk with you more." etc. There are some people in the world who do get annoyed with hearing the "I love you" words too often and your BF might be one of them. There could be similarities between myself and your BF. I don't' need those words too often......what I do need are DEMONSTRATIONS of my wife's love. When she does things to show she was thinking about me, it affirms our love together without the words. I make sure I say the words every once in a while so there is no doubt in her mind but the vast majority of time is filled with acts that prove I love her.
Can you say "I love you" too much"?
My boyfriend and I have been together nearly six months and he says "I love you" about every five to ten minutes or so... Every time we exchange words, make eye contact, pass each other in the hall... whatever. He calls me from work every day... sometimes three times a day... is pretty needy as far as attention goes, and explains to me in detail every thing he does during the day. I know he loves me... he is always thinking about me, asking me if I need anything... but I feel like he's too attentive. I feel like he's chasing away every silent moment we could enjoy together, and the words "I love you" are becoming just noise. I don't even say it back half of the time because It's just wierd to say it over and over and over again in a matter of minutes. I don't mean to be ungrateful because he is a good guy and I do love him... I just want more out of or communication than saying I love you back and forth. Am I being too critical? I don't even know what to say to him about it.
Can a girl say "I love you" a bit too much?
Ahhh yeah, lol. It usually means she's insecure, I had a girlfriend that was totally insecure and said I love you a million times a day (not literally) but yeah it got annoying. I'm pretty sensitive too so I like that kind of stuff, but it can get a little too much. =\
My boyfriend says “ I love you “ too much?
Me & my boyfriend (both 19 years old) have been dating for a month now. He’s constantly telling me he loves me & it’s starting to push me away. I feel like it’s ok to say it every now & then but he’s telling he loves me every other hour of the day & it’s getting overwhelming. I’m starting to feel like I do love him... but as a friend at this point. I feel like if I was IN LOVE with him there wouldn’t be this much doubt , if any. How do I tell him to stop telling me he loves me so much without hurting his feelings? Because the more he continues to say it the more it’s pushing me away. He’s already noticing a change in my behavior as I’m not saying “ I love you too” as much anymore.
Does saying "I love you" lose its meaning?
wow what a response! thanks to all of you so far. I have to say tho that I do say all the other things you're suggesting. The i love you part is always like a thing that wells up in me and has to get out cuz that's how he makes me feel. He really is the most awesome person and he gives me so much love that I have to say something. His understanding of me, his patience and the way he expresses his affection for me all make me so happy to have him. I'm really lucky to be so loved and cared for. He's so warm and soft and sweet and cuddly and thoughtful and helpful and so much more. I really do have fun talking to him and spending time together. He treats me with repsect and dignity and he inspires all these wonderful qualitites in me as well. I don't know what else to say except that I love him and he does say it back and I know he genuinely feels it, so what do I do?
Can a parent say “I love you” too much to a child?
Hell yes. It’s great to say, it gives joy, happiness, and a feeling of comfort for both, but when used too much, it loses it’s meaning.Think of it this way: Someone says something rude. It stings for a little bit and then every single day when you go to school, they greet you at the door with the same thing. “mornin’ retard” “Get over here retard” “What the fuck are you doing retard” “Cya retard”. It gets annoying and repetitive.The same goes with “I love you” and basically any other phrase. Imagine you’re sitting at your computer doing homework and your mom pops and and says “I love you” Feels nice, eh? then she does it again… and again… and again, when it basically becomes a part of your routine. You never think twice about eating breakfast, so why is “I love you” any different?Don’t get me wrong, parents should show love to their children, but don’t make it so repetitive so that they don’t even give a second thought, but don’t make it so rare either.
Does saying "I love you" too much lose its meaning?
Honestly. Yes and No.When I love you is said to someone who means the world to you, then it shouldn't matter how many time you say it to them it will always hold that special meaning. Saying it in excess will for sure make it lose the certain finesse it could have being said only at key moments, but it does not mean any less. Additionally, saying it just because it is a routine may make it seem like it has lost its meaning, however saying it when you feel it gives it that breath of life that may be needed. For examply saying ILY every morning before you leave the house may become routine and not special, but by saying it in the middle of a TV show as you glance over at your partner chewing on popcorn in their sweats and an old t-shirt can bring a special zing back to the word.However when it is said about everything, everyone, every moment, it loses its meaning very quickly. Hearing I love you from someone shortly have hearing how they love hamburgers and coffee, they are in love with some actor, and they tell their dog they love them, is a lot less meaning full.
My Boyfriend says 'I love you' too much?
I know this might sound weird, but my boyfriend seriously says the words 'I love you' too too too too much lately. I like hearing him say it, I like saying it back and seeing the smile it brings on his face. I love when I get that random text during one of those off days that just says those three words. But lately I've had to hear and say it like at least 20-30 times a day [or maybe more]. I swear some conversations (online and in person) have in those words more than anything else. Now I don't mind having a conversation ABOUT how much he loves me or I love him or about why, but to just constantly hear those three words have actually started to annoy me and that scares me. I seriously do love him but I want him to stop but I don't know how to tell him to. The possibility of him being offended or getting annoyed is very high as he can be a bit overly sensitive or should i say egotistic sometimes. He has a guard that can shoot up at any moment when he thinks he's not doing something right. PLEASE help me =( I'm desperate. I don't want these words to become regular words like 'Hey. What's up?" You know? They should always move me and make me feel warm inside when I hear them. They shouldn't be said in every third sentence of the day like it's the word 'and' =.=' Please let me know if you understand and what you would do.
