Response to "I love you"?

[Htienvu]

This girl I've been seeing for over a month, intimately for 3 weeks; Lastnight after sex she whispered something to me and I didn't hear, asked her to say it again she whispered "I love you" then giggled.

Since we've only been seeing each other recently I didn't want to say "I love you too" back. My reaction was calm and happy, I had a genuine smile on my face and gave her a long hug, then an passionate kiss and just showing how happy I was without saying anything. She seem to be ok with how I reacted, not sure if she wanted to hear something back or not.

How would you guys deal with this situation?

 

[backseatjuan]

I love me too.

 

[Maximummax]

I love me too.

Just a reformed version : I love myself too :rockon:

 

[Htienvu]

I love me too.

It was not an appropriate situation to be ****y/funny joking about.

Was about to say it myself, pull a Harrison Ford and say, "I know."

Learning how to properly respond in the moment when placed on the spot is a skill that must be developed for most men

Personally, "I know" has worked well for me in the past.

I never, ever return an "I love you" from her. Ever.

You know why? Because if you do it once, you will be expected to do it every single time.

I say it when I choose. I say it when I feel it. I say it on my terms.

If she decides to get her panties in a wad because I didn't return it, that's her problem not mine.

Don't act surprised.

The response is either "I know" or "I love me too".

Don't give up the frame. Don't let her think she won. Stay in control, or the moment she realizes she can have you, you're in trouble. These responses show that you have options and that you aren't pu$$y whipped. Sometimes I'll say "The sky is blue", or some other fact that is super obvious.

Maintain the frame! That's my ruling.

Case closed.

"You don't love me, you love my doggy style"

Another suave response would be, "ofcourse" with a sly smirk.

Fuck! You guys beat me to it!

Your response was better than any of these "suggestions." Whatever happened to show, not do?

You did perfect. Hans Solo doesn't always belong in the bedroom. Sheesh. C/F is great, but its close cousin is idiot douchebag.

Most things that women say are best interpreted if you preface them with, "I feel as though..." In this case, it would make her words just a simple sharing of what was on her mind at that moment - no big deal at all.

 

[Atom Smasher]

"Tell me something I don't know", with a playful smirk...

 

[I'm in the Mood]

All of these responses are great, but if it's true, it's fine to say I love you back.

If it's on your mind in the moment, go for it. No big deal in saying I love you back.

 

[metoo]

they are just words, basically, they aint going to kill you. If you want to KEEP that gina, better say them back.

No it isn't. He's been dating her for a month what's wrong with you????

Let her work harder for it. Women say this to test to see how easy you are. They don't ask you that question cause their heart will get all tingly and warm inside! They don't care if you say i love you back or not.

When a woman knows she has you that's when it all starts to crumble down.

Pull the classic Harrison Ford quote on her, keep her waiting for the i love you. Let her show you she's worth it.

 

[Leporello]

I just pull her in for a kiss.

What makes you think him saying I love you means she'll think she has him? It's just a phrase, not something that makes or breaks a relationship. I think the principle behind not saying I love you back to a woman is because it's not acting through your own intentions. But what if saying "I love you" is no big deal for you emotionally? What if it happens to be just three words you felt in the moment, and not an all-encompassing attitude you have making you a chump?
