"I love you"

OK, a totally irrelevant topic. No reason for it really
either, I'm just curious:

What is the shortest length of time you've ever had between
meeting someone for the first time and then telling them
that you love them? And what's the longest?

How long did it take before you realised that you were in
love?

And how did they react?

I've said "i love you" to a person after a 1 month of
dating, and she said the same thing. But i think love allso
fades.

pf - I agree with you, in my experience love always seems to
fade with time. It's very depressing. Of course platonic
love can remain stable.

:) i'll post before surrounded does:

George: Anyway, I'm thinking of making a big move.

Jerry: What?

George: I might tell her that I love her. I came this close
last night, then I just chickened out.

Jerry: Well, that's a big move, Georgie boy. Are you
confident in the 'I love you' return?

George: Fifty-fifty.

Jerry: Cause if you don't get that return, that's a pretty
big matzoh ball hanging out there.

George: Aw, I've just got to say it once, everybody else
gets to say it, why can't I say it?

Elaine: What, you never said it?

George: Once, to a dog. He licked himself and left the
room.

---

George: Well, it's all over. I slipped up.

Jerry: Oh, you don't know.

George: You have any idea how fast these things deteriorate
when there's an 'I love you' out of the bag? You can't have
a relationship where one person says, "I love you", and the
other says, "I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat.".

Jerry: Unless you're married.

manicminer, I do think that its possible to be in love for
like 10 years, but at the begining of a relationship it's
intense but in the end you will still love the person but
diffrently

The love that you have for your family and friends dosent
fade I think.

OK, an additional question...... can long-distance
relationships work?


 

offline pf from Finland on 2003-06-23 06:43 [#00753025]
Points: 3316 Status: Lurker



I think so, but depends on the distance and how often do you
see each other. If you see once a week, i think then the
relations ship can work real good because you will have your
own time during the week.

But i think that there has to be more chemistry between the
two persons because of the distace.

IMO, long distance relationships can work, so long as both
people are mature and hard working enough to keep time they
can meet free. What messed up my long distance relationship
was my other half not keeping what little time we had
together free. I would work hard during the week running up
to a visit to make sure we would have the maximum time to do
stuff. She wasn't the same... I'd go up there and find she
had to finish coursework, go shopping, fill in forms etc.
while I was there. I'd usually end up on the PC or the
Megadrive while she did her chores. Looking back, maybe only
1/2 the time spent with her was actually "with her", the
rest was around the house waiting for her...

I was in a 3 year relationship and I was very much in-love..
it was very soon after I met him that I loved him and never
really stoped.
I loved other people after a short amount of time, it was
more "shallow" love.. but still love the same.

5 years ago I was with this girl i met at work. cute,
really open-minded and all.
we were together for only three days but already i was in
luUUVvv crazy....
i told her:
"Ma puce. tu m'fais kiffer grave. j'suis fou de toi"
wich mean:
"I Love you crazy."
I kissed her like in those us movie's end except that
american don't put the tongue.
She told me:
"Tu rend ouf! j'suis si heureuse quand t'es la."
wich can be translated by:
"I love yu tooo."
then another Frenchkiss excavation.
She said:
"Je taime. Tu veux pas m'epouser?"
"I luv yu. Oh, marry me, Johnny. (yeah, since the 5 of june
i call myself Johnny for a change.)
...
Time stopped suddenly.
In my brain, many pictures passed at the speed of light . me
saying "yes" and passing the ring to her.
me saying goodbye and going to work 17 hours for 4¤/hours
while she, pregnant, is feeding our first born child. me
driving in a car to holidays with 6 brats howling in the
back. 44, bald, fat.
Time restarted
"Non, merci, au revoir."
"No thanks, Goodbye miss"
i was only 20.

It kinda scares me how much we can depend on each other for
happiness: if the one you love (or obsessively stalk :)
isn't responding how you, in your infinite wisdom, think
they should then you're fucked and really depressed.

I've only ever said it to one person. After going out about
3 weeks. It was Not A Good Idea.

I've only said it to two girls. The first was my first
girlfriend, I was 15 and she was 14. I didn't even mean to
say it, it was only like 3 weeks after we started going out
and it just slipped out of my mouth. I don't remember what
she said in return; I'm doing my best to forget about that
whole relationship.

The second time was to my current girlfriend, about 2 or 2.5
months after we started going out. We are very far apart
this summer so we usually talk on IM and she wrote me a
haiku that had "I love you" in it somewhere and that led to
me telling her that I love her and her reciprocating the
feeling. We're still going strong..

for me tho, this is too personal a question and so no

Well sir I'd been planning to let her say it first so I
could respond with a smirk and a Han Solo "I know" but she
sprung it on me late at a rainy bus stop just as my bus
arrived and I found myself spluttering "You! I... but the...
I..." as she grinned and pushed me up the bus steps.

hmm, as for me.. i've always thought the word was thrown
around a bit too much..what i'd be reluctant to call 'love'
someone else might though..

though, i may just be overly cautious due to consistant bad
luck.

it didnt take me very long to realise i had feelings for

ended the relationship... it probably scared her away...

i know some GUYS have emotions, just that for some reason
they are taught to supress things.....or so i've
observed....cos they'll be thought of as WEAK.

it's acutally quite the opposite.....takes more HUEVOS to
show feelings than act like you don't have any, plus BONUS

no I don't think long distance relationships work. i used to
when i was young and optimistic but now i'm more realistic.
i had a girlfriend in italy and later i had a girlfriend in
aberdeen.
the actual time spent together was few and far between, and
at the end of the brief time together there was always the
sadness that it would be ages before we would be together
again.

i think long distance can and DOES work.

ONLY if you see each other regularly.....at least once a
month IN PERSON for a several day stretch.

takes a lot of committment, effort and work tho......no
