Me and my girlfriend have been dating for over a year now and I love her very much. One thing I don't really get is why she thinks that I have to say the I love you part first after every phone conversation. She will never say it to me first. I've noticed that a lot of my friends girlfriends will say the I love you part then the guy but she makes me do it first otherwise I hear it from her the next day. I just don't get it!?
