  MH and I were long distance for a little while, and one time while I was visiting him, we were just snuggling on the floor by the fireplace, drinking wine and lovingly gazing into one another's eyes, and he said, "I like you a lot. Like...  a lot a lot. I'm falling in love with you." (I guess that wasn't technically "I love you," but whatever.) Awww, so cute. So obvi I told him, "I love you too." None of this "falling in love" business.

  Following... but I have zero memory. We started dating in college so there were a lot of drunken nights in our early dating history. I'm sure that has something to do with the lack of memory around that lol

  We went on a weekend trip to Chicago about 3 months into our relationship. We were both avoiding being the first to say those words (though we didn’t tell each other that) because we’d both been burned before. We were cuddling and he shyly says, “I think I love you.” And I immediately half-squealed, “I LOVE YOU TOO!”
  
  pause
  
  I say, “wait, did you say you THINK you love me?”
  
  He caught up quick. 😁 But he still teases me for being the first one to say the words. And I tease him for being chicken. Awwww, mawwiage!

  H and I got together shortly after high school graduation. I had just gotten out of a long term relationship and wanted tor rally wait to say I love you. I was thinking about saying it at my sisters wedding late that summer. But one morning after a night with drinking with friends we were all sleeping out in the backyard and he said if first thing when he woke up. It was only a month after we started dating. But my friends always joked he had loved me for a real long time throughout high school because he had a crush on me the entire time but I just befriended him the entire time 😅

  I used to plan and host a charity event every year for a sports team. It was always a super stressful event for me and the weeks leading up to it were tough. But the event was always fun, an excuse to dress up, and spend the night in a swanky hotel. DH and I had been dating for a few months and I brought him as my date. At the end of the night after pulling off a really good event, we were walking to our hotel room in a really pretty open walkway thing with the stars and he just stopped to tell me he loved me out of nowhere. I doubt he remembers, but I sure do!

  @stlbuckeye132 okay that sounds romantic!
  
  Ours is not, at all. MH was in the national guard and would have to go to annual 2 week trainings. We went out for dinner and drinks before he was going to be leaving. I ended up driving that night and as I was dropping him off he said something like "i'm really going to miss you..." then he started getting out of the car, and drunkenly came back in and said "also I love you". If my memory serves me correctly I think he also texted me the next day as they were leaving for camp saying "I told you, right?" lol. Yep, yep, I sure love you too!
  
  I suppose this is also a good place to mention when we got engaged it was a huge romantic gesture/ordeal, but his words to me were "So is this a yes... errrrr no?" lol. Very northern WI of him.

  I’ve known him since high school but we were just in different places for years. When we finally stated dating, we went camping for a weekend and I said it as we were falling asleep. Didn’t mean to say it out loud but I did. Oops. He never lets me forget it. Ever.

  @rachelredhead I'm pretty sure MH said, "I *think* I'm falling in love with you" too lol I left out the "think" part though b/c it sounded better haha but you're not alone with a cop-out *think* love for the first time!
  
  @mrs_sheddy I love that he had to text to confirm he told you

  I was pissed at my husband because he was supposed to be coming over but his dad showed up at his house (unannounced for the weekend) so he told me he was going to spend time with his dad first, and didn't tell me when he would be stopping over. I was >thisclose< to ending it right then and there because I wasn't waiting around for anyone who couldn't even tell me when to expect them. Plus, his dad was basically showing up for the weekend about every damn weekend back then, and never told him until Friday afternoon. So I told him not to bother coming over, we would talk later, because I was done waiting. He hauled ass over and told me he didn't want me to end things because he loved me. I said it back because I meant it. But I also said loving someone didn't mean having them wait around d for you all the time because you refused to set boundaries with your dad. 🤷‍♀️ He set boundaries. Now his dad will call on Tuesdays or Wednesdays to see if we have plans over the weekend before he just makes the trip. Thank god.

  We had been dating for a few months I think and I had spent the night at his house. The next morning, we were both laying there and I was kind of still half asleep, and I heard him say "I love you." So I whispered "I love you too" because I couldn't tell if I was awake or not lol. As the day went on and I thought back, I could have sworn that I was not really awake and it was like a half-dream. But then I started internally freaking out that I had said "I love you too" when he had said nothing, like a crazy person. Clearly this was early in the relationship and I still cared if he thought I was nuts. So later that night we were out at a bar or something and I was trying to be sneaky and asked him "so... how do you feel about me?" I kept pestering him and finally he was like "didn't I tell you this morning?" and I was like "Oh ok so you did actually say it! phew." Super romantic.

  Oh ours is the worst, H and I were both novices in the sex department and it was like time #2 or 3 and things weren't going well and I ended up getting upset and psyching myself out and he was being wonderful and sweet trying to get to the root of what was wrong and somewhere in this I blurted out part of the reason I was so nervous was because I loved him. He said it back but it was still somewhat truly awful (almost 8 years later, clearly we got the hang of things.)

  I have no memory of when the first time was.  We initially dated long distance and I'm pretty sure it was in a card.  We wrote cards back and forth for a while.  We have a little mantra we do with each other when we are being nice that started back then.

  DH and I are each other’s first relationship and love, so it took a few months to work up the nerve. It was near Valentine’s Day and I remember already trying to figure out what I put in a card because we hadn’t said it yet. Well then I had stayed over at his place and something had happened that had made him upset, I think it was about his grandmother, and I realized how much his sadness made me feel sad. In that moment I realized if I felt this much for him I needed to just say it. So I said it first and then he said it back

  I am never the first to say it a relationship because I'm stubborn....
  
  Two months into dating he hives me a Valentine's Day card with big "I love you!" pop up but never said it. So the next month I tell him I love you. He said he was going to say it soon/that night......
