Saying I Love You

[Algernon]

Everything has finally paid off and It happened. My boyfriend told me that he's in love with me. After seven months though, took long enough But he's worth it.

I asked him so questions about it. Like when did he start feeling that he loved me, did he ever want to say it, and why it took so long. He apologized for making me wait and "bouncing me around like a tennis ball." He explained that since he'd been burned before It was hard for him to deal with such strong feelings.

We started saying I love you to each other, and It makes me happy and warm when I hear or say it. I guess I'm kind of getting to know this side of him. The side that is in love with me. I asked him if I could say it too much or lose It's meaning with him and he said no. How much do you think it too much? For you or for other people.

I honestly don't feel that "I love you" can lose its meaning, and I don't believe there's such a thing as "saying it too often" if you really mean it. Sure, if you say it every day, you may not get an overwhelming surge of butterflies same as you would if you, say, said it once a month, but that doesn't mean it has lost its meaning, not at all. I believe a lot in the intention behind the words. If I feel like saying it, or if I'm bidding goodbye, I say it. This could be more than once a day or it could be only once, but regardless, I don't believe in "saying it too much." I believe in saying it when you feel it, and that you're the one who puts the meanings into the words, or takes it away, not the amount of times it's said.

There really isn't a set number for saying it too much. Just make sure that when you say it, you really mean it and are aware of the power behind the words that you are saying. If you just throw it around when your out of words to say then it is going to lose its meaning.

However its different for different people. Me and my ex used to say it all the time. At least 8 times a day probably and it did lose its meaning. We forgot what those words meant and what we were really saying. But though it was possible for us, that doesn't mean it is for you. Everyone is different.

For my boyfriend and I, there's no such thing as saying it too often, because we both mean it.
