DH said it first but neither of us remember when. We were a little wild at the beginning of our relationship and things from that time period are pretty hazy

Hubs said it after a month and I took a bit longer.

DH did. I SUCKED at saying it back the first time! I said something like 'I think maybe, I might possibly be falling in love with you too' then he just laughed at me, I think it took 2 more tries to get 'I love you too' out but in my defense, I was the one that said 'it's fine if you want to keep seeing other people, but if you do, please just don't come back in my bed, because I don't think I want to see other people anymore.'

We were 'just having fun' for the first few months we were together. I think it was about 5 months after we first hooked up that I love yous were exchanged. We moved in together 3 months after that : )

He did and I was quiet! I didn't say it back at all and thought about it for days, maybe weeks?! I had to be sure! Poor guy.

I said it first and it just slipped out. I had been thinking it in my head for a while, but one day we were going through our plans for the day and I was like," ok you do this and I'll do this. Ok love you "and he looked at me and had this shell shocked face. We didn't talk about it until a few days later and he brought it up. He was happy that I said it. He said it a week later. it was after 2-3 months of dating.

@Crumbs: same here!

Hubs said it really quickly, like after a week or two of dating. It took me about a month

I sort of pressure him into saying it one night when we were out drinking. We were with some friends and started talking about love. He said, "yes, of course I love you." I was shocked he said it and then proceeded to wait another month to tell him the same.

He did, after about 4 months. I already loved him, but I was terrified to be the first one to say it

Our "first date" lasted a week when we met in real life and I said it to him the 3rd day we had met. I also told him he would marry me.... Forward I know!

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:

'BABE! Babe. Baaaaaaabe. Babe. I miss you so much. Aaaaaanaand...I love you. Is that bad. That's bad, I gotta go.'

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!

Um I did. After 3 months. I was very drunk. But I meant it! He took a month to say it back.

@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!

He said it first very quickly. he told me he wanted to marry me within days!!

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.

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.

DH said it first. We had been dating for 6 months.

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.

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).

@autumnlove: Yep! 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.

I did! 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!
