-- Posted by jujube 91 at 11:46 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 So my bf and I have been dating for 2 or 3 months, give or take. We became 100% official and established that we were bf and gf a little over a month or go. The other day we were goofing off in his kitchen and I was teasing him. He totally didn't care but I still felt slightly guilty and meant to just be cute and say something like "But you're cute" or "But it's ok cuz your sexy." Y'know, something just to make sure he knew I was just kidding, even though it was obvious. But, by accident, "But I love you" just slipped out. I played it off and acted like nothing happened and just turned back to making dinner, but now I'm all worried. It's not that I don't want to say it at all, I just feel like it's too early and fuck, we're seniors in highschool. Do we really know what love is? And anyway, we prolly have to break-up at the end of the summer cuz I'm going to school on the east coast and he's probably going to the west coast or midwest. He didn't call me on it or say anything about it or get weird, he just moved on casually with the convo too. But later that night he randomly just went "You're awesome." When I asked him what that was about he was like, "I dunno, I was just thinking about it and you really are." And yeah that sounds really lame, but the way he said it was like... almost like he felt like he had to say something cuz of what I'd said before. I'm his first official gf, though he's had a couple almosts and plenty of hook-ups. He's really sweet and he definitely cares about me. So now I'm all paranoid that I freaked him out with the "I love you." I mean, I'm used to dropping it in everyday convo with my friends, and we were friends before we starting dating. So guys, he probably knows it was just a casual slip-up, right? Cuz I really don't want to chase this guy away by being inadvertently clingy. -- Posted by HuffleHaire at 11:48 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Don't worry about it. I'm sure your tone and the context of the conversation will be enough to ensure that it was not a clingy or scary statement. You're fine, don't sweat it. -- Posted by revived5656 at 11:49 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 chill guys dont listen -- Posted by sammiroo at 11:50 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 If it's still freaking you out tomorrow, you could probably just explain it to him, and he could ease your fears. -- Posted by bloodyXkisses at 11:51 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 I wouldn't worry. If you were playing around, he mighta took it as a "I HEART you type of thing."-- It's hard to explain. Idk. Maybe i'm just stupid. But since it was in a sorta joking manner and not seriously, i wouldn't worry too bad. -- Posted by LucidAssassin at 11:52 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 if you played it off then he might have...i dont know -- Posted by ballin23 at 11:54 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 eh dont worry about it i talk to everyone and say stuff like "i love you" " marry me " etc -- Posted by ChemicEmotions at 11:58 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Quote: from revived5656 at 1:49 am on Jan. 2, 2009 chill guys dont listen haha -- Posted by SomeRandomKid at 12:13 am on Jan. 2, 2009 "i love you" is a curse.. it steals your soul and turns ur oatmeal into dogfood =( -- Posted by ges655 at 1:37 am on Jan. 2, 2009 He probably was excited that you said that. Don't worry about it, it's not he's like gonna dramatically call you and say "I NEVER WANT TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN FOR SAYING I LOVE YOU! I JUST... JUST CAN'T GO ON ANYMORE. OH SWEETIE, WE MUST BREAK UP!" -- Posted by xdreamingx3 at 6:08 am on Jan. 2, 2009 i wouldnt worry about it too much. if he brings it up you can always explain to him what happened. either you do feel it or u dont. -- Posted by kawaweleh at 11:21 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 i agree with some of the other members- don't worry about it. I don't think he'll feel negatively about it, it was during a teasing mood, right? It wasn't said during a serious time, which is when I think most guys do take it negatively. If anything, I think he may have liked hearing it.
