Today, my boyfriend of over a year finally told me he loved me. This revelation was quickly followed by "at least, I think this is how people feel when they say that." 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

It could have been worse. He could have said, "You don't have to say it back, but you do have to give me a bj."

Something a teen guy might say. You need to put out. That might solidify things.

You've found someone who loves you... **** your life?

Boo ******* hoo your boyfriend finally fell in love with you a year after simply using you as a status symbol and an entity for sexual relief. Im assuming you're about 13-16 since you interpreted his message as offensive and over-reacted, posting this as an FML. Most relationships function on those two things at your age or at least one of those depending on where you live. The world isnt over ffs

After reading the comments, I realized that these days people take much longer to say "I love you" than to have sex.

he seems a little nervous, which most guys would be when telling a girlfriend something like this. you act like he should love you if you've been dating for a year, which is asking a lot. a lot of guys would put up with a girl for a lot longer than a year not loving them, just liking them ok and using them for sex and companionship. be grateful that somebody loves you.

#9 and everyone else who says there is no definition of love - if you can't define what it means, don't tell ever tell anyone you love them, because it means nothing to you. MY DEFINITION: To me, love isn't a feeling, it's a promise; it is a concern for and a devotion to the happiness, personal growth, and physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of another. This kind of devotion can be applied to relationships with parents, children, friends, pets, romantic partners, siblings, extended family, even strangers. It isn't fleeting - it's an ACT, not an emotion. Even if I FEEL furious at my sister, for example, I'd still DO nearly anything to make sure she's happy and well. I think people don't like using the same word - love - to describe such different relationships as they have with, say, their parents as they do with romantic partners. It helps if you think of the emotions associated with love as a cluster concept, with a bunch of different feelings (loyalty, sexual attraction, enjoyment of being with this person, joy, etc.) that may be present, but they don't all have to be there at the same time, and they don't all have to be present for every person one loves. I hope you do share this connection with people, even if you don't call it love.
