We met Labor Day 2004 and hooked up for about 6 months until I finally asked for a commitment that he wouldn't give me. So I broke it off. The following Labor Day (2005) he told me that he wanted to be with me and was ready to commit, so we started dating. He told me he loved me New Year's Eve, 05/06. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-298733 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:08:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 298733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it first! I remember, we were both sitting on my couch and I was just like staring at him (with my goog-ly eyes ) and he's just like what? I'm I said "I have something to tell you" "Well, tell me then" "I think I love you!" "Well that's good cause I love you too!"</p> <p>It was cute! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-298716 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:54:12 +0000 GrapeCrush 298716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH said it first after about a month, but i said it back immediately because i had figured i was about a week earlier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take/page/2#post-298322 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:32:31 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 298322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: wow:) I hope me and DH can do that too!

And I can't remember exactly when, the first month or so is a blur, but I know it was only 2-3 weeks in, and he said it right after :) We moved crazy fast... after our 3rd date we knew it was 'it' and haven't spent a night apart since! Moved in together 'officially' after 6 weeks or so! CRAZY! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-298213 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:32:11 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 298213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Wow!!

Still work together (same place, but opposite sides of the building). I love it because we get to spend a lot of time together between our lunch breaks and driving to and from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-298200 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:28:18 +0000 MK0180 298200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a few months but I wanted to say it much earlier. Actually the moment we started dating I knew he was the one. I waited until I got back from Japan to say it. Thankfully he agreed with my response :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-298188 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:24:17 +0000 Running Elley 298188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it first after a month. I'd been wanting to say it for about a week and apparently he had been wanting to for awhile (he was really shy at the beginning). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-298145 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:53:03 +0000 autumnlove 298145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: So sweet! Did you meet at work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-298128 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:47:27 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 298128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it and he said it immediately after me. Um... we had only been talking for about a month, but he is my soulmate - I knew it from the moment I met him. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-298118 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:44:53 +0000 Alivoo01 298118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love how the majority is the guy saying it first! I'll add to that statistics and say the hubby said it first. It was before we were even really dating. We were out at Ikea with my cousin, walking around/browsing when he said it. He immediately acted like he didn't, so I confronted him about it later that evening when we were cuddling in bed. He admitted he did, but didn't want to freak me out since we weren't official so he played it off. I don't recall if I said it back to him immediately or if it was later on... Is that bad? ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-297067 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 05:02:47 +0000 Sweet T 297067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH said it first. We had been dating for 6 months. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-297049 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 02:55:09 +0000 anonysquire 297049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Love that! My parents were married 3 months after their first date, and still married like 26 years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-297031 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 00:58:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 297031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he said it 2 months in and my reaction was to cry and give him a huge happy hug and continue to cry into his shoulder. Then I said it back. It never occurred to me to say it but I *knew* I loved him. So, when he said it I was like "ME TOO!" We got engaged 4 months later and had a 7 month engagement. So, 13m total from first date to marriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-297014 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:48:18 +0000 MaisyMay 297014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs actually asked me to be his girlfriend and said he loved me nearly a week before our first date. My reply was something along the lines of thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-297009 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:33:36 +0000 gingerk 297009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He said it first, technically. I didn't really hear it and he pretended he hadn't said anything. I took a chance and said it later that night. It was about 3 months into our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296996 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:19:23 +0000 pinkcupcake 296996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He said it first, a year after we started dating :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296990 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:11:30 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 296990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He said it first very quickly. he told me he wanted to marry me within days!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296988 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:06:59 +0000 anonysquire 296988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yep. It drove my family crazy when after our first time meeting I came home and told the, about this guy I was going to marry after knowing him for a week and breaking up with my ex like 2 months before. Oh well, I know these things lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296952 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:52:06 +0000 Grace 296952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: Haha! Me too! I'd been wanting to tell him, but I was so chicken and thought he'd say thank you or something like that. So at 3 months, he said it first and then I could say it back. I told him that I had been too scared to tell him and he laughed and thought no one would do that. Then when he was talking to his sister a few weeks later, she told him that that had happened to her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296935 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:32:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 296935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it first, and it took me over a year...and we had already lived together for a while. Even though I knew from day 1 he was different in a way good and serious way; I dunno...I can't imagine being truly in love with someone much faster than that. I'm a turtle when it comes to saying "I love you", I guess!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296923 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:29:03 +0000 SleepyMonkey 296923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um I did. After 3 months. I was very drunk. But I meant it! He took a month to say it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296908 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:24:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 296908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm so lucky I have such a great guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296907 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 21:22:52 +0000 Trailmix 296907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He drunk-dialed me during our winter break senior year of college after we'd been 'dating' (and by dating I mean getting drunk and hooking up) and the message went basically like this:</p> <p>'BABE! Babe. Baaaaaaabe. Babe. I miss you so much. Aaaaaanaand...I love you. Is that bad. That's bad, I gotta go.'</p> <p>HA! I died when I heard it the next morning but when I called him back, it was the first thing I said to him. Cannot believe that happened almost 8 years ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296826 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:58:54 +0000 autumnlove 296826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Poor Mr. Jacks! :-)</p> <p>@anonysquire: You were right! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-said-i-love-you-first-how-long-did-it-take#post-296818 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:52:03 +0000 anonysquire 296818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our "first date" lasted a week when we met in real life and I said it to him the 3rd day we had met.
