Have you ever told someone you LOVED them but knew it was a lie?

Question

Chazmatazz269 · Accepted Answer

When i was young, my mother told me that if i give girls everything they want that they would treat me like gold. She even told me i could “learn to love” those girls who loved me even if i didn’t love them. So whenever a girl told me she loved me, i said it back whether it was true or not. I committed myself wholly to loving them exactly as they demanded.
Took me decades to realize that was lousy advice and decades more to learn that my mother hates men and boys….. including me. I mean i always suspected, but it took a while to come around. After all, is there anything greater than “a mother’s love”?

My current relationship went very fast in the beginning (much faster than I thought it would) and they said they loved me before they even confessed to me that they had a crush on me. I said it back and while it wasn't a lie and I for sure loved them as a friend I wasn't sure I loved them as a lover and I was uncertain if I was ready for a relationship when it happened. I had been wanting a relationship for a while but when I got one I was a little confused and had early relationship doubts of if I really loved them as a lover or just mistook friendship.

To a family member as a child being forced to be babysat by her. She was always nice to my brothers mean to me because she hated my dad and I look like him. My brother's take after our mom but have a similar personality to him and a few of his quirks. She would say I love you and if I didn't say it back she'd not let me use the bathroom when I had to go or when it was overnight babysitting she would make me sleep on the floor without a blanket or pillow and yell if my brothers gave me a pillow or covered me up at night so my mom made me tell her I loved her

No because wouldn't lie to someone like that.. And I don't throw those words out if I don't mean them...

Not loving someone isn't wrong, (we can't always control who we love and who we don't), but lying to someone, leading them on, playing with their mind and heart is!

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I have told a girl that I loved her and sincerely believed what I said when I said it. Looking back later, it was lust and not love. Sex has a way of clouding a young man's judgment!

Bexxiib · Answer

Yes. My first boyfriend. I fell out of love with him due to many reasons and a toxic relationship, I just kept telling him I loved him but I knew damn right it was a lie. It wasn’t until the final break up I expressed that I didn’t love him anymore by saying “Ok, bye, I don’t care” and started laughing.

I was in 11 month relationship with my second boyfriend he's not my ex-boyfriend and I did do that when it came to the middle coming of our relationship when he started becoming more toxic and I realized that I was trying to lose her home quick and I was trying to convince myself that he was a prison but I knew deep down my heart that he wasn't so I broke up with him a week before our anniversary and that was one or two years ago.

hahahmm · Answer

Women always ask questions about love but never define what they think love means or they change the meaning to suit how they feel at random so I learned to tune women out when they use the L word.

lilyanony1 · Answer

Yes I have... I wanted things to work but the pain they caused me was too much.
I love them but it's not strong enough to go back to them.
The love felt like a love you have for someone that's died.

If that makes any sense.

Heolurt · Answer

I have never used that word to describe how I feel about anything, I wouldn't know what it feels like to begin with and I don't believe in saying something like that if I can't mean it.

AsaKyo · Answer

I only say "I love you" if I genuinely mean it

Anonymous · Answer

Have to lie to my mom and sister.. couldnt care less if they died but if they say it to me I gotta say it back.. it is what it is

Ninania · Answer

Yes, I told my first boyfriend, because I wanted it to be true.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Yes but i told them the same day or next day that i felt forced and pressured to say it and took it back. And both went crazy clingy trying to make it happen naturally.

BlueScorpio · Answer

No I don't see the point in that. If you're not in love then don't say it, only say it when you mean it. That's why people don't always believe or trust when they hear it.

19magic · Answer

I did when I was 15 he said it so I said it, the whole thing only lasted a week though lol, I've said it to family members as well without really meaning it but never lied romantically

Dinklex3 · Answer

Whoops. I voted no which is kinda true. I've said "love you too" to a relative I absolutely do NOT love at all. That's it though.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes because it was say 'I love you" or no sex.

dustybiker · Answer

I would never, ever do that. I have a pretty good sense of humor, but don’t mess around with love.

Anonymous · Answer

I said "love you too" to my ex even though it wasn't true. I just didn't know what to say when he says it, and ignoring it seemed even worse.

Apulu_Imback · Answer

Yeah while answering a girl who was roasting me, in a sarcastic way.

petitedollbabee · Answer

Yeah, I say I love you to some of my family out of kindness, not because I actually love them.

ConspiracyTheorist · Answer

Yes my mother in law says it all the time and recently I wavent wanted to.

Anonymous · Answer

Never. First off I would never tell someone something I didn't feel to gain favor. That's called "manipulation" and it's wrong! Secondly, I've never loved anyone romantically.

WeeeISee · Answer

I was assaulted. It was the only way to get him to calm down.

RationalMale · Answer

Yup. I knew the person would be devastated if I didn't say it, so I said it.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

I love one another. Love the enemies. Love the neighbours.

TroyDT · Answer

Before I was 21 I would tell a girl anything to get in her pants.

Anonymous · Answer

No, I don't use that word that way. It's sad but not at all surprising that a large number of women lie about it.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer
