Today, I finally got the courage to tell my boyfriend that I love him. We've been dating almost a year and in a few days we will be moving into the same apartment building and attending the same college. He said, "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way." FML

Today, a guy that I've been friends with for almost 20 years, and for whom I have never shown even the slightest bit of romantic interest in, confessed his love for me. In front of everyone we know, at mine and my fiancé's engagement party. FML

Today, I finally had a man say, "I love you" to me in a sincere tone. It was a customer, who was high, over the phone. I said it back. FML

So what? This isn't an FML. If this is the first time he's been in love how the hell WOULD he know what it really feels like? Stop being so goddamn sensitive about it.

nah don't worry about it, he was probably not meaning it the way you interpreted it - some people aren't good with words at such moments

Well this is not and FML. He thinks he is in love with you. If this is the first time he's been in love, then how would he know for sure what it feels like. If you love him back, be happy :]

that's gooodd! it might have sounded mean but it just means he takes the phrase "i love you" seriously, so he wants to make sure he really means it when he says it. its a compliment to you

Sounds like he's just being honest. Just be wary if he starts talking about terminating John Conner...

Uh that's not really an fml, because it's not such a bad thing that he said that.

Good God woman, what is wrong with you? Do expect some cinema romantic-comedy proposal? He 'finally' told you that he loved you? As if it were required? "Ohmygoshohmygosh he said he luvs me!!!!!!!" Grow up. Realistically, love can be a very tricky thing at the best of times, and barely more than a fancy high-minded ideal. So respect his emotions, respect his judgment, and respect the term 'love'. Now that you mention it, your life IS ******. You're stuck in the mind of a 13-year-old early-pubescent habitually-spoilt self-centred airhead with a grossly inflated sense of entitlement. I am disgusted. At least, I think this is how people feel when they say that.

What you take away from this kinda depends on your boyfriend's character. If he's generally pretty reserved and shy, then don't take it to be a bad thing - that sort of thing can be a really big deal to some people, and they aren't going to treat the subject lightly. If this is the case, and he really hasn't ever been in love before, you can't really blame him for being tentative about it. On the other hand, it could be that he's one of those selfish jerks who tends to manipulate women for his own personal gains. If he's pretty outgoing and gregarious, and especially if he has a history of being something of a womanizer, this is probably the more likely scenario. Obviously I don't know your boyfriend, so I can't say which one is true. I'm inclined to believe it's most likely the former scenario...hopefully I'm right :)
