Were you with someone, and had grown used to them saying this a great deal, how soon would you notice, if they began to say it a LOT less? And, having noticed, would this shift concern you?
I know for myself, that if my woman is actually in love with me, she could not say it enough for me. I like hearing it if it is actually meant. Now I have been in relationships where later on in the relationship she did not actually mean it. This is when it becomes irritating. If you dont mean it then it gives the other person a false sense of how his/her partner really feels. Like I daid if my woman really truly deep down loves me and is in love, then and only then I like hearing it as much as she can tell me.

not really bothered about saying or hearing it... as long as i can see it in his eyes...and the things he does for me...same as i think of him all the time,when we are apart...
Don´t most people? Being loved is the best feeling in the world, whether it´s love from friends, family or lover. I´m lucky, I get told it every day, not from a lover unfortunately.

MrInteresting: So, what would the fine balance/magic number be? What does too often become TOO often?
Imagine if they died, but before death it was mentioned by your partner you do not tell me you love me enough........
How many times do you think it is appropriate you tell someone you love them. Personally I do not think you can put a number on this at all. It is a matter of choice and like I said in my first post, really depends on the person themselves.
Do you think people could actually say it more often without questioning this fact of "too often, not enough".
You cannot put these words into boxed of "too this and too that". Saying I love you is not a regimental thing or a statistic.

Do you have any answers to all these questions you ask?

Or, the other way around, if they are telling you several times per day, can that become an irritant, for you?
If your partner said that you were telling them too much, would you feel offended by this, very much?
Would just be interested to hear the views on this?
