We have been together a year come late August / early September, and I'm leaving the country for a whole month or more in less than two months, in the summertime. I want to tell him before I go, and I'm using it as a way to reassure him that just because I'm in a different country doesn't mean I'm not going to be faithful.

I saw this cool advertisement where I could personalize a ring, I would want it to be silver and gold, with "I love you" written on the inside of it, if I did it. Then give it to him before I leave... One thing is that it's very costly, min price is like almost a grand... ouch.

But would it be a nicer, better way to do it? I don't want the awkwardness of the eyelock and all that shit if I just said it to his face for the first time... So?

If you mean it, Say it. You only have one life babe.

That's more priceless than anything you can buy him that says it.

I knew i loved him.... and i wanted to say it soooo bad but i was terrified of being rejected. one day we were just sitting on the couch watching tv and it was on my mind (it was always on my mind and i am sure its on yours the same way... one of those thing that when your lying in bed at night you just keep going over every possible situation). Anyways so we are on the couch and i was just thought to myself "Just say it, you know he feels the same way, just say it, hes probably just as nervous and feels it too, just say it."

we hadnt really been talking, just sitting, me leaning on him watching tv. So i randomly turned around, gave him a little kiss and said I love you, than  went to turn back face the tv. But he stoped me. put his hand on my chin and said I love you too. it wasnt even awkward. and it was such a HUGE relief!!!

We went out to dinner the next weekend and he told me he was so afraid to tell me and was glad i did it. than he told me he loved me again but this time told me why. i almost cried.

Dont give him the ring... just tell him when its just the two of you together. I know you have probably had a milllion moments where you have been like "this would be the perfect time for me to tell him" or "he should say it now" next time you have one of those moments just gather ALL the courage you have and tell him... trust me he wont reject you and you will be glad you did it.

hope all works well if you have any questions message me... and i would also kinda like to know what you end up doing so message me anyways :)
