Why is "I love you" so hard to say?
you leave yourself exposed and vulnerable. your putting your true feelings on the line. most men feel intimidated by these words, and some of the less desired ones will use it to their advantage to get some from a girl.
Sometimes she writes "i love you" and sometimes just "love you"?
have you ever heard of a book called, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff?" This is small stuff to people who don't actually have someone telling them "I love you." The only time this should be a problem for you is if you think she doesn't love you. I also realize you could be asking out of curiosity, and that's fine. One is more formal than the other, obviously. It's like the difference between tonguing someone down and giving a quick peck on the lips. And like the other answerer said, ask her about it if you like. Though I'd just think you were being anal if you brought something like that up with me. Just my opinion, good luck.
Does anyone else find it hard to say "i love you"?...?
Everytime i meet with my gf, she always says "i love you" and then waits for me to say it back. I don't know if this happens to you, but i find it almost impossible to say it to her. I do love her, i just have this problem and she thinks that i'm trying to get her upset on purpose. Is there a cure or a way to solve this and does anyone else have this problem?
Would you rather someone TELL you they love you or SHOW you they love you but never use the words?
Taking this question literally, I would rather someone Tell me. This can confirm what I may have learned by paying attention to their other words and actions. By Telling me, I know that that this emotion (Love) is at least in their conscious mind. That they Know or are Aware of how they feel. This removes all doubt about what they might feel but even hide from themself. People almost always show how they feel even if they cannot express this feeling in words. If they say it I hope that they mean it and understands what this means. On the other-hand, I usually have a hard time telling someone else: "I Love You." First, perhaps from the realization that rejection is a possible reply. This usually means that I did not clearly Show the other person how I felt before I said the words. Second, they can always misunderstand my intentions. Often "I Love You" is used by others to communicate a sexual attraction, not an emotion. Lastly, I can be very subtle in the expression of Love through thoughts, words and deeds. But saying "I Love You" is hitting them over the head with an emotional baseball bat. It is not subtle (but sometimes needs to be said or written anyway). As for other people: I advise that they Tell anyone "I Love You" only if they feel it strongly and clearly. That they say it only when the other person needs to hear it and that they back it up with good intentions and proper actions to make sure they get the point across.
