Who do you really tell when you're in love with somebody?

People have different ways of expressing themselves and their ideas. Some would probably be at ease and more open to say their secrets or viewpoints to their families, some are to their friends. But whoever we tell about these things doesn't matter at all because what matters most is that you were able to express what to wanted to say and that is indeed, important. As for me, I've never been totally in love with anyone.Never had a chance to experience that, but in case i would be in that situation, those my close friend will be hearing my sentiments first!

When I first fell in-love, I fell in-love with a friend I was already close with. Actually, a friend who would have been the first to know if ever I fell in-love with a different person. In any case, my friend was still the first one to find out about it and after a few days, I was told that the feelings were mutual. :) I'd much rather tell my friends first when I fall in-love. It's not that I want to hide things from my family. My family is just a bit nosey. When I tell them something, they won't stop asking questions and that can be pretty annoying.

Well, it been a while since that 'thing' happened to me. All I remember is that I didnt tell anybody at first, kept it all to myself. Im not that close to my family too, to let them know im inlove, they will tease me if ever I tell.

For me ,the answer is nobody. I had been in love with only one boy and i do love him a lot,but unfortunatly we both were in senior that time.In chaina,relationship was not allowed when u are still in sneior schools.I had a lot of girls and boys friends at that time,but u believe or not ,i never told any of them about my secret,even my best girl friend. At last,it turned out that i was right,because that boy was in love with this girl. I am so sad,but what can i say,nothing actually.

hi, well as far as for me i would certainly share it with my friends firstly. then probably my brother. Well i guess its more comfortable to share it with friends rather than anyone else. Well but this might defer i know of a friend who actually told his mum when he was in love. i was quite surpised at it actually. Well its totally not wrong at all. But i was just surprised that instead of telling his own friends he actaully told his mum. well but on the other hand i was quite glad that he could just go to his mum and say things like that. Is just shows the closness of he and his mum. Well as for me i dont think i have reached that stage yet. So till then friends will be the people whom i will confide in. Anyway have a great day ahead and happy mylotting. best regards, alvingb

I've only been in live two times. For me it is hard to express in words to anybody. I was in love with my husband for about six mnths until I finally said the words. I guess that's mostly my fear of rejection showing it's face, but unless somebody has expressed that to you first it seems hard to bear your soul. I did talk to my friends about my felings of course. It's nice to get the support from friends. Family, at least mine, seem too quick when it comes to jumping to conclusions. If I were to tell my mom I was in love with somebody I would have ended up in a discussion about marriage and grandkids.

For me, it would be my best friends right away. I'd see what they thought, then I'd move on to close family, wait a while, and then move on to the extended family. Eventually, I think everybody would find out, since I have the biggest mouth in the world.

It is a very concious question because when it comes to share your secrets we normally get a bit secret with sharing it with anyone and prefer telling to the ones we know wont ever tell it to anyone even at any cost of your life. Well when i was in love which i am not now, i told it to my sister who knows most of my secrets she handles them with care i know it and that is why i am free from getting it spilt anywhere.

when i was still not married, i used to tell my crushes with my very close friends, friends that can be trusted and do not teased me. but when i get inlove with someone so seriously, i never would tell anyone, even my closest friend. i'm just not comfortable having somebody knows the boy that i truly love.

When I fall in love with somebody I first confess it with the Lord, then to my mom, my brother, my friends and lastly to someone I fall in love with. He is the last person to know because I wanted to make sure that I do really fall in love with him.

Me?honestly I'm an open-minded person but a secretive one. Makes sense?What I mean is that I can tell everyone whomever I like but the one I love?I sometimes kept it on my own and with my chosen friends. What about you?With whom do you share it?

I think almost all of us tell our friends first when we fall in love after maybe secreting it for a couple of days for just ourselves. We think that our peers are the ones who can understand most of our situation because of our similar level to theirs. Some may tell their family first but I think that is not common because as I experienced, my friends tell me and our other friends first when they fall in love and lots of them never even told their family and has no intentions to. It is somewhat fun to talk about who you love with your friends and also who they love. But some don't really tell anyone when they fall in love. They just secretly hide it to themselves. But for me, I tell it first to.. the one I love. :) For me it is the best thing to do when you love someone. That someone for me must be the one who will know I love her. :)

As for me,I am a shy boy and I have the same situation with you that I have never fallen in love with anyone.And I think if I am in love with someone someday,the first one I really want to tell is my best friend beacause he konws me very well and he can give me some ideas which are good for me.I don not want tell my parents about that because I think we have generation gaps and they are old,I really donot want to let them worry about me.
