Question of the Day

[ayoub]

Are you ever nervous about saying 'I love you'? Why, or why not?

I don't know if I really mean it.

I'd have to say I'm pretty confident and I don't have a problem saying I love you. When I say it...I mean it! AND...It's nice to hear it back, but I don't HAVE to hear it back.

Less and less with age. Life is short after all.

[alainn-mactire.livejournal.com]

Nope. Because I don't say it if I don't mean it.

Saying it to a person for the first time can be a little nervewracking, but I'd rather say it than not.

I don't say it unless I mean it. I didn't say it to (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=alainn_mactire)Pixie (http://www.livejournal.com/users/alainn_mactire/) for a long time at the start of our relationship. I didn't want to blurt out something that I wasn't 100% sure I meant.

Saying this has caused me problems in the past. I have said it before, and although I meant it 100% at the time in hindsight I wondered if it really was the case. This was many years ago I am talking about it here. To be honest I rarely say it now, I don’t know why, maybe a fear of rejection, maybe something else.

I love you, Ayoub.

Nope - not nervous at all. =)

No, I'm not nervous about saying "I love you".  The phrase doesn't cross my mind unless I truly mean it and I have had some life lessons that have taught me that the chance I get to say it may be the only chance.  Carpe Diem and all that...

Ne-vah!
*hugs*

Yes. Well, let me qualify that. I have no trouble telling my friends I love them. But that next level, where you move into romantic relationships, it takes me long time to say it then. When I do feel that way, I say it. But I am careful about it.

[gillian16.livejournal.com]

I am more afraid of feeling it in return then I am to say it and feel it for another.

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

That is one arena in which I don't hesitate to express it if I feel it, in any form. The world needs more love and people need to know that they're loved more.

That being said - Love ya, babe. ;)

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

No...I believe you should tell the people you love that you love them before the chance is gone.

[innerly.livejournal.com]

no..

i think it's because i grew up in a family where we often told each other that we loved each other, so it comes natural to me

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

Yes. Because it's sometimes difficult to know if you've said the right thing to someone you can't see.

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

No. But I've noticed a lot of people are damned nervous about hearing it.

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

Suck up ;p

I say I love you to my hubby and our nieces and nephews and god-daughters all the time.
I have a few friends who I say I love you, on a regular basis.
My parents and siblings and I don't do the whole love you bit at all.
But I do say I love you to my sister, we also fall out fail out quiet alot but I always love her.
I know my parent's love me. But I have never heard them say it.

I don't say I love you to just anyone.

but you know I love you right?
you do know that.....Love you !

[sirenity.livejournal.com]

If it makes you feel better - I don't say it often. =)

But when I do it's with complete sincerity!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's a tough one... Meaning it is necessary...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It's definitely better to say it :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It's good to mean it, rather than not :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

You can only say things based on the moment you're in... Hindsight has the benefit of 20:20 vision...
