This is probably the most spoken three words in the whole world. I LOVE YOU. It speaks of great passion, affection, happiness and pure bliss. It's a statement that says it all. It's what we all want to hear from someone that we love. They say you should only speak of these words when you really mean it. Well that's true and that should be the case often. Others say even though you love the person, you shouldn't tell that person "i love you" too often. Or else it becomes cliche. And it loses its meaning. I am an "I love you" person. It's my thing... When I'm in a relationship with someone, as long as I am with him and as long as I really feel that I love him with all my heart, I tell him over and over. Is this wrong? How often do you say I love you?

Not often as my husband does. Sometimes I surprise him, buy sending him an SMS message with the words "I love you" during working hours. I prefer to say them in actions but sometimes I also say it in words since there are just some words that needs to be said and assures our partner that we value them a lot.

I almost say it everyday to my fiance. I want him to feel that as each passing day my love for him never fades. And it just grow stronger and stronger each day.

Well for me, there is no bad about saying i love you to your special someone. I myself do too. But at some point it, it can become a common thing or just so typical when said always.

I never directly want to say I love you but I want say my lover this word indirectly. I think if i love my partner there is no need to tell this beautiful words again and again. It is fact that I truly love any person i will very hard to say I love you. So I use this word very rarely to my loving person.

I say I love you to my husband all the time. It is hard for me to say I love you to pretty much anyone else. I say it to my parents when we are ending a phone call or leaving from a visit (they live in another state). Other than that, I don't tell anyone I love them. Love is a very strong and powerful word to me. If I say I love you then you are someone I care very deeply about. I think a lot of people over use the word love and it takes the meaning away from it. These should be special words that you say to special people in life.

Hi kay! I support your views and I feel that expressing one's love through words and deeds is the best thing one can do for his/her lover. You see saying it (I Love You) with feelings and warmth makes the other person feel happy inside and a certain kind of positive waves travels to him/her.

I tell my wife that I love her every day. I cannot say what time of day it would be, because I say it when I feel it and not for the sake of it as I feel something like that becomes boring if it is not said with meaning and perhaps an accompanying hug. _Derek

when you say those three words, does it make you feel good? every time i do, there's always that feel good mood that associates with it; to my wife, to my mom, to my family... it's a fulfilling statement to express everyday as it reminds why we are humans..

It is never wrong to say I LOVE YOU as often as you want to the person whom you really love. I do it all the time, even if we are living together, I even text him when he works. Well, that would make me an I LOVE YOU person too.... I'm never afraid to say it often because I mean what I say to him and I feel it in every single cell in my body. Never worry about spoiling him with your i love yous, at least he knows that everyday, your love for him is never wearing down... My partner never gets tired of hearing it.:)

I say it as often as I can, it really means great things to me. My honey in exchange asks for a CHUPPA, sweet kiss. That's how we emotional bond. It's cute :)

I don't say i love you very often. I haven't been in a romantic relationship in a very long time. However, its important to tell everyone that you love them. I mean family and close friends. I'm getting better at expressing my emotions.

I say it as often as I can but only when I really mean it. I never said I love you seriously to someone without meaning it. Sometimes in a couples relationship, they just say it out of obligation but they don't really feel love at that very moment. But in my case I would never say it out of obligation but out of pure love that i feel at that very moment.

Hi kaycharmedMD, I often say I love you to my wife at the least 3-4 times a day. I think it has become my habit of saying I love you to my wife instead of thanks. She loves being said, by any means any of the day if at all I say once or twice she says she felt missing something very close to her heart that day. Contrastingly, she does not say so many times but I don't mind much about it. She is shy girl, she expresses her love by taking care of me and our kid. I feel like conveying my gratitude towards my wife by saying I love you to her. It gives me pleasure saying I love you to her and I think I am the most blessed to have her as my wife. I love her. Happy Living Calpro

If you did not know for some people it is pretty hard for some people to say "I love you". While other's say "I love you" a little to much. Saying "I love you" for the first time should be in the right moment. While other's think that saying it is good it could lose it's meaning and not have as a big affect since the first one. That is why you should always make it in a special occasion and not a everyday life. "I love you" is a big thing to say and if you don't appreciate it enough to not let it be big then that means that you do not actually think of it's true meaning. So remember to just say once in a while, but not to much that it loses it's meaning. For your question, I say it about 2-3 weeks apart you know to saber the moment, and not let it go to waste and ashes.

I often say I love you to the people I intimately inlove with like my husband and children because I don't want to waste any single time to tell them that I care for them and I love them. I was raised by a very strict parents and though I have known that they love me so much however telling i love you is a discreet thing. We're not very vocal about it so for a change I want my family to be expressive with their feelings. However, I also considered the saying that "action speaks louder than words". Words will be meaningless if we don't know how to show it. so cheer up!! there's nothing wrong in saying i love you... just put some thrill on how to say it. Surprise the one you love or make your own strategy on how you will artistically show it.... cheer up!

I say it as often as I can. It will never be a cliche as long as you mean it. And of course you have to mean it. My boyfriend and I have come up with a special Iloveyou. Whenever we say it to each other we say the number 9 at the end. And the number 9 represents the 9 letters for these words, 'in spite of...'.
