I love you

[deigja]

.. is a sentence everyone likes to hear. Sometimes you need to be told that somebody loves you. Still, there are several contexts in which this can be uttered.
A mother tells her child, a brother his sister...
But when and how do you tell a lover, how do you tell him or her for the first time? Everyone who makes an attempt to say "I love you" wants to hear it back - immediately.
We do not wan´t to hear an "I love you ,too" . An "You´re my baby" won´t do.
I, amongst others, belong to the group of people who think way too much about it. The moment I realized that I love someone, namely Master, I started planning...and getting insecure.
Questions like "is it too early?" or "does he feel the same?" kept popping up in my head. I felt loved these last weeks, but somehow I didn´t trust my own feelings anymore. The only thing I never questioned was my love for him.
Half a year ago, our relationship started like a whirlwind, taking me by surprise and throwing me right into his arms. It is amazing how close we are after such a short time, and I´m sure part of this closeness is caused by our lifestyle activities. Communication, openly telling the other about our likes and fears alike, learning about our own needs and desires together has brought us close...
This weekend the perfect moment came. I didn´t plan anything but it was everpresent in my head for some time that I wanted to tell him, needed to tell him. I just did :-).
Now I feel somehow complete. He knows about my feelings, and I know about his, and I can´t help but smile all day.


How is your experience? Did you also think about this special moment? Or did it just happen to you? Are you the one who told it first?
And: Is it the subs on the Forum who are the "first-tellers" or is it the doms who more often take the initiative?

My Master was told by this one several times bythis one. It resulted in Master finding another closer to him without my knowledge then deserting me.

My situatuon was very similar to your own. In a moment during one of our may discussions i told him i had written a poem and i wanted to share it with him. (i write poetry, but some times i have trouble articulating my feelings aloud, therefore i write) in it i expressed my feelings descbibing all the ways he made me whole with out saying the words, i love you. He was a little surprized that i felt that way so soon, he told me thank you for the honor. a few days or maybe a week went by and i actually said the words. He said that my poem had started him thinking about the depth of our realtionship. And he said the words back to me. Then he explained that He wouldnt say the words often beacuse to him they were used too freely and lost alot of meaning to him during his life, and that he hoped i understood that he expressed them with his actions not necessarily with his words. And i do. I say it to him when i please (because i feel compelled to say them) He always smiles and strokes my face and looks into my eyes and says in his gruff tone "you know I feel the same slave." it just melts me right there.

Oh this is sweet. Master said "I feel the same as you", when I said I love you. And for me this is much better than "I love you ,too" as in German people often leave out the word love when they just say it back... Some say "Ich dich auch." Literally "I you ,too" Which I think is really poor. I know that it is really hard for him to say this, so I value every verbal expression of his love very highly.
Also I think you don´t have to say it all the time, it´s just so sweet to know..

Hmmmmm? I would never say it first and truly have a difficult time reciprocating when I do hear them. But neither do I want to hear the words as much as I want to see them. *shrugs* Just me.

Lovely!

I honestly don't remember which of us said it first. Hmmm... He is probably going to read this, and laugh at me. But, I truly don't remember. We both said it in the same conversation, I just don't remember which of us said it first.
