Do guys really prefer to say "I love you" first?
Your thoughts?
I think on either part you want to be careful not to jump the gun. When you tell a person that you love them, you make yourself vulnerable and you also put a bit of a burden on the other person. Now they have to decide what to do with that declaration. Do they reciprocate? Do they sit on it? Do they make it known that they just don't feel the same way, or at least not to the same degree? If the feeling is not mutual, then what was once a fun relationship all of a sudden has some added tension and awkwardness. You always hope both parties are completely honest and straight-forward, but with something as tricky as love the answer is not always clear cut, sometimes we are not sure, or maybe we think we might eventually be in love and are willing to give it a try, but just haven't arrived at that sure feeling yet.
Since guys more often have the hang ups in this department I think it best to wait for the guy to express his love first. That was how I preferred it. Of course you can be proactive about asking where he sees things going or where he would like to see things going.

The term "I love you" isn't something that comes out like in the first few weeks of dating. "I love you" is such a deep feeling and means - at least to me - SO much that I just don't use it too early on.
Neither should my girl tell it like two weeks after we were first making out. Being in love - and to love someone - are totally different things and if my girl wouldn't understand it, then most likely there would be a long time where I might struggle so say it to her since she won't get the intense meaning behind those few words.
If however my girl has the same thoughts and impression on these words, she knows what they mean or better how much they mean, then for sure will she know the right time to say these words.
If that were to apply it really doesn't matter who tells it first since in the end, both people will choose the same time to say it. In my opinion there's nothing worse than to tell someone "i love you" and you're just returned a nice smile...
well it dosn't really matter on who says ' I love you first' just as long they both say it then they know about how they feel bout eachother.
well my boyfriend usally says it first.
But now he says Guess What ? and I always say Ilove you then he's like damm you beat me too it and we have a little laugh about it.

it really doesn't matter who says I love you first. all that matters is the feeling is mutual, and same for the first kiss. it doesn't matter..
its kinda intresting, when you are in regular relationships and dating around this stuff is the most importaint things of a relationship. when you find that specail someone you don't worry about who says ilove you first or who kisses first or how to do this or that. none of it matters and it all just fits intoplace. and belive me its the greatest feeling in the world when you find your love
I think that a guy with sense will make sure he says it when he KNOWS he'll get it back. But at the same time, avoid waiting for the girl to say it 1st. Mainly because girls tend to assume you're just saying it back. Girls imagine you say I love you for the 1st time, and he conveniently says it back then? I don't know if guys care what the order is, but I get the impression that girls prefer you to say it 1st for that reason.
have you ever met a boy that is willing to say it first. Probably a rare thing, either that or he is saying it to get something. I know breaching confidences but its nearly always true.
some are different and I will probably be hated for it but...
Like I said.,
No, I agree. I've noticed a lot of guys that aren't willing to take a step out there. I feel like a lot of guys (at least the ones I know) aren't willing to take a chance. They want to save face, so the girl ends up doing almost all the work. Unacceptable.
I've had four women ask me to marry them. Only one said she loved me and couldn't do without me. Of the girlfriends who I did not ask and who did not ask me to marry only two said they loved me before I told them. Of the many whom I was close to over the years I'd probably told 4 out of 57 that I loved them. Because I did.
i don't think it matters really I'm going to say it when I think its the time and if I really like that girl. like last night for instance we were talking on AIM and weve agreed on if you say I love you over the internet or not in person it doesn't meen as much as if you were to say it in person or say I <3 you I love to see that when were talking but I no it doesn't mean as much then if we were to say it in person wich noone has yet I'm thinking about it tho I really like her
Doesn't really matter to me. I personally would not wait for her to tell me that. I'd make a move first because I think it makes me feel better than keeping it inside.
my ex told me first. I don't really care who says it first because once its been said its out and done with. Just say it as long as you truly do love the guy or girl your telling it to.
It doesn't really matter. What matters is that you tell the truth and actually mean what you say, not just to say it. If you love someone, you should tell them.
I don't think it should be a race. If it feels right, I'm more glad someone said it, rather than worried that I did.
As long as it happens, I don't care who does it first. lol
I like hearing her say it first so that I know she feels it too ;) so I don't make an ass outta myself.
It makes me feel special if she tells me first : )
Well my boyfriend told me first
doesn't matter
