He dropped the (L) bomb on me!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There comes a time in a new relationship when the feelings you have start to intensify. You may get the idea to blurt out “I love you!” over sushi dinner when the urge hits you with a wave of emotions.
Before you proclaim your undying devotion, maybe you should stop and think: Is this the right time? Will these three words completely shift our nearly perfect, drama-free beginning as a couple? Am I ready for what may happen (or not happen) once I say I love you? Does the L bomb add pressure or expectations to a new romance?
I was listening to Mr. He’s Just Not That Into himself (Greg Bernhardt) on Q100’s The Bert Show the other day. A woman called in and said that her man dropped the L bomb. When he was unable to say why he loved her - she questioned his sincerity! Oy vey! No wonder guys think we are nuts sometimes.
What are your thoughts on the L word? Do you say it right away when you feel it? Should you say it back if someone says it to you first? Are you headed for a break up if the feelings aren’t mutual?
What has been your experience with saying I love you to the person that you are dating?
Do you remember the first time you dropped the L bomb?
Happy Friday!
