Mishearing "i love you"
 

Hanging out with Mr. kddani tonight after going to dinner. He said something, and I SWEAR he said "I love you".... it was at a moment that would've been appropriate if he were going to say it. I said, "What did you say?" b/c I was kinda freaking out. He then said something totally different. Now, it's not me imagining it, b/c it's certainly not something we're ready for and not something that I feel for him yet.

We haven't been dating long enough for that, and we've been through a lot lately and were actually in the having a "talk" about where we are, etc. due to some recent drama in his life that's taking a lot of time. But it scared the hell out of me for some reason. Now, after he's gone home, i'm kinda laughing about it.

Anyone have any stories about when they thought someone said "i love you"?

My junior year in HS, I was dating a guy who was in college at UCF so we saw each other weekend. For some reason, we'd be all upset every Sunday when he'd have to drive back up to Orlando even though we'd see each other in just two weeks! As we were saying goodbye one time, he hugged me and I thought he said, "I love you so much." We had only been dating a month at that point. I was like, "Huh?" He was just like, "I didn't say anything." Riiiight. I was kinda freaked out after that.

The moral of the story being . . . don't tell girls you love them until they say it first. :p

My bf said, I think I love you.
I was like, "Ummm...o.k.

I wonder if any of these guys DID say "I love you" but then freaked out and pretended they didn't after not getting the reaction they wanted. That would be SMOOVE.

Lol, I guess i'll never know b/c i'm not about to ask him. It would just be so out of place b/c about 1/2 hour before we were talking about whether we should break up b/c he doesn't have the time to really put into this. I didn't really react, I just asked what did you say, and what he said he said sounded not even remotely close to I love you. So he either said it or i'm totally crazy! haha

Yep. Cause I don't imagine it feels good to tell someone "I love you" and have the woman say, "Thank you" LOL!!!!!!!!

Dani, what did he say when you asked him "What did you say?" Was it something like "what a view" or "where's my shoe?"

Or olive juice. ;)

It might have been a premature utterance, but I think that he loves you, Dani. :)

Next time respond with "why don't you get back to me when you're sure..."

I hate the dating games. Wouldn't it be much more fun if everyone felt the same thing for the other person at the same time? Wishful thinking!

Long story, but it was "how's that feel". Both an "s" and an "f" sound that I certainly would've heard if that's what he had actually said.

I win.
 

him: "I think I love you."
me: "Really."
him: "Yeah. And this girl called today that I used to date awhile ago. She's 4 months pregnant and the baby's mine."

Re: I win.
 

You do win.

Re: I win.
 

Game, set, and match to HotDamn.

Re: I win.
 

"i win" is 100% correct - holy jesus.

PS - he def said "I love you" and backed out on it, a dynamite move if I've ever heard one

Oh, it's funny cause it's true.
 

But it's like winning "most embarassing story" contest with the time you had your skirt tucked into the back of your panties. A bittersweet victory. BUT A VICTORY NONETHELESS.

Man if you guys heard some of the stories. The worst part is, none of them are "bad" guys -- it's not like I get cheated on, or find out he's a felon in six states. It's stuff like Mr. Smoove above, or better yet....

I went on the "Meet the Friends" date (you know the one I mean. Usually about the 4th date?) with Steve the Pharmacist. So I'm talking to his friends and trying to be cute, because that's what I do. And they ask what Steve's told me about himself. I say, "Oh, Steve told me he just recently dropped out of seminary, and I'm the first girl he's dated after realizing he wasn't going to persue the priesthood."

His friends were completely deadpan -- "Yup, wanna play pool?"

So I'm a little confused. Why did no one like my joke? It was funny! My delivery was good! Did no one get it? Am I less funny than I thought? Oh. I'm not funny, am I? I've gone my whole life thinking I'm funny but I'M NOT. Is this what it's like when you realize you smell? Is this --

then I realize, wait a minute. Obviously I am hysterical. Something else is at play here.

Sure enough, the guy WAS in seminary, WAS studying for the priesthood, DID drop out, and I WAS the first girl he'd dated since then.

I can't make this stuff up folks. If it was a book no one would read it because it'd be too unrealistic.

No joke. You sound like my sister and me when we were in our early 20s. We were magnets for weird guys. I thought that it was one of those only in New York things. I'm not sure if it gets better or you just learn to accept the weirdness.

I'm a magnet for really amazing guys......

















.....who decide I'm definately not the one.

I hope not. Because if that's true, between me and my future husband my kids will be weirdos.

We've been together for over 6 years now so he's sure now. I still tease him but he seems to have amnesia over the incident. He claims he said "I love you" but I know what I heard. You'd think he'd fess up by now that he said it wrong. :p

He's too funny.

HotDamn, I am rolling with laughter! You have another victory.

After much consideration,
 

I've decided that it does get better. The weirdo guys like the weirdo girls so they eventually remove themselves from the dating pool. Plus as you get older, you can spot the signs more quickly and avoid those guys. It's a learning curve. At least you have funny stories to tell now.

I had a bf tell me once, "I think I could love you." Yeah, I didn't stick around long enough to find out. :p

HotDamn still wins though. :D

Re: After much consideration,
 

So are you claiming the weirdos eventually collide in some sort of quantum douchebag incident, removing them permanently from the dating pool? or do they eventually realize how badly they suck, and some sort of seppuku of nerddom occurs, removing them physically from the planet?

I'm confused, cream.

Re: Re: After much consideration,
 

Now I'm confused also. :confused:

I think that sometimes these weird people wind up getting together and becoming couples. I guess they don't seem weird to each other. One woman's frog is another woman's prince. ;)

Sometimes they have a moment of clarity, grow up, get their acts together, and stop sucking. I don't know. It's just a theory.

naaaah. I think its more likely that the more tired that people get of the dating game, the more they overlook quirkiness and settle.

I concur. :)

Keeping my fingers crossed that I never become one of these people.... I don't want to settle. :p

Ok HotDamn.... Got any more stories? I've probably got some interesting stories, but I don't think any of them will be a match for yours. :)

HotDamn....
 

wow. that's all I can say. wow.

I had an ex boyfriend once whisper that he would love to make love to me. When I said "huh?" he said that he loved me. I looked at him funny & then he said that he loved being around me. Apparently, he couldn't make up his mind. :rolleyes:

Its also possible you guys just heard wrong lol.

I can think of instances where I really thought someone said something, and it was something else entirely.

bump

Uhmmm James Dahling, is there something you need to tell us?

Not at all. Just searching through old posts and came across this one.

Well I guess everything worked out great for Dani ! :D :D

Yeah, I was reading that post and was a little confused, then I saw the date, and I was like, ohhhhh. :p

Funny enough, it's a different guy, since this thread was from 3 years ago :D

But yeah, I'm happy, and I didn't mishear it this time!!!

I mishear people allll the time! I think they're saying something totally different from what they actually said. I haven't done that with the L-word, luckily!

Channelling Prettyboy right now

her: Do you really love me?

him: I LOVE YOU more than all the rest of them jokerz, YOU STUPID HOE
