Have you ever said "I love you"?

[buttons]

ok im curious because in my family that word is FORBIDDEN. never heard it uttered from any of my relatives mouths other than my brothers girlfriend to my nephew. i overheard someone say it on the phone to someone and for me it's something that isn't said so lightly or too often, probably cause of my family..

ANYWAY, have you ever said it? the three actual words. Love you doesn't count nor does typing or texting it.
has it ever been said to you?
details please

i've said it once in my life and had it said to me a few times

[RyRy]

yes

but i dont think ive ever meant it, just confused with infatuation yknow? teenage problems.

[wixard]

i've said it aloud to FRIENDS in a joking way
never in my life said it to any member of my family and never will
and one time a french boy i knew for like 3 days stopped kissing me and said 'je t'aime' and i said 'je t'aime aussi' which literally is i love you, but obviously we both just meant it in an I LIKE YOU kind of way.

never said it, think i'm still a long way away yet
although there are times after doing a certain activity with certain people where i feel like saying it when i prob don't mean it

Yes, been in a relationship for 3 years 6 months now.

I don't say it often because idk family don't say it really so it's kinda awkward I guess, think I've said it to two people irl, one ihl if typing counts which it does really in this day and age

Ever since my dad moved out we always text each other every night saying, "night, love you". My mom, sister and I always say it to each other as well whenever we leave the house.

yeah, I say it literally all the time, especially when I'm drunk

say it to my mum a lot, my dad when I see him, my brother, and to my mum's side of the family, especially my granny MMMMM I love her so much she's me but older and blonder
don't say it so much to my dad's side of the family, but not adverse to it.

I say it to my friends, sometimes in just a 'love ya' kinda way but with some friends like a proper I love you but mostly when drunk BUT NOT ALWAYS. especially with my friend who is practically my sister

I've said it to one boy but it was one of those situations when they said it and practically forced me to say it.........

[scottish]

i've said it quiet a few times but only to one person.

never said it to family

I think it's been said to me once (can't remember if it was I love you, or love you)

but yeah I don't say it lightly too and only say it when i truly mean it

[Shar]

I always tell all of my family I love them and my friends that I've known since I was little because I actually mean it to them

[Cerys]

Never said it with the I included.
I say love you to my mum sometimes, but that's it.

I've had it said to me a few times as a joke, though.
