“really… are you sure?”
This is heard occasionally at my house, when we’re feeling especially geeky.
Most of the time it’s “I love you, too”
Sometimes it’s “Well, that’s good to know”
Stop stifling me! God! You’re like Saran Wrap or something.
Me neither.
But at least it’s been said back to me. Otherwise, well, I’d be very very sad.
From Christine Lavin’s collection of “I Love You” retorts:
I love you…That’s nice, but you still have to pay me
I love you…A lot of guys do
I love you…And I don’t blame you
I love you…Furthur evidence of your continuing good taste
I love you…I love you too, but it’s not gonna happen
I love you…Can you hold on a minute, there’s a call coming in on the other line
I don’t know why, but I’m convinced this is the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard!
You couldn’t possibly.
We knew each other exactly one week and only saw each other twice in that time period before the declaration.
We always say “I love you back”–although sometimes I’ll say “yeah?” and he says “…yeah.”
- Uhhhh… huh.
- Okay.
- Really? I hate me.

That was very polite of you.

I got into a serious fight about this once.
GF: I love you
TP: Thanks"
GF: Why didn’t you say “I love you” back? You really don’t love me, do you. Etc. etc. etc. :rolleyes:
“I love you.”
“Why?”
We do the same… isn’t it womantic?? :o
“Just one more thing…”
“Yes?”
“…I love you…”
“What did you–Hey, where are you going?”
Sometimes, when mr. new says “I love you” I say “That’s one of the happiest things I know”, because it is.
When my uncle died, I called his partner of 25 years. I was all weepy (he was a wonderful man) and toward the end of the call, I told her I love her and she said “Thank you.”
Stunned silence.
It’s not wrong…it’s just not right.
“You know… you’ve really got terrible taste in men…”
“I love you.”
“Aw…that’s sweet. What’s that behind you?” flees in panic
I’ve always said, “I love you, too.” Except for one time. The person who said it hadn’t even met me in person yet (warning! warning!–in my case only–no offense to anyone else this may have happened to), and I was completely stunned. I gasped and said, “I wish you hadn’t said that.”
Indeed, for that is not the time for talk, but for action.
