My boyfriend said 'I love you' for the first time, during sex

[HelpPlz]

My boyfriend and I have been dating almost two months. I am in my early 20's, and he is in his late 20's. We are really awesome together, and he's one of the most thoughtful amazing guys I've ever met. He's one of those guys that hides little notes for you to find, and is genuinely very sweet. He's got a lot going for him, and every one who knows him has a lot of respect for him (as do I).

Lately I've been feeling like I'm beginning to fall in love with him, but I'd still like to hold off on exchanging those words for a while yet. A couple weeks ago, I was very drunk, he was sober, and we were having sex and he said "I love you" for the first time. It caught me off guard, but since I was drunk, I was able to easily brush it off and I didn't say anything in return. I acted as though I hadn't heard it at all. I figured he would hold off on saying it again anytime soon, as I did not reciprocate.

I was wrong. A couple of nights ago, he said it again, WHILE we were having sex. This time we were both sober, and I was caught off guard and panicked a bit, so I said it back. I didn't feel right about it after. I've decided that the next time we hang out, I will tell him that those 3 words mean a big deal to me, and I'm not quite ready to exchange them yet.

In the meantime, I wonder, why would he say it during sex? Both times? Is there a good way to ask him that without making him feel stupid? Does he actually love me? Or was he just really into what we were doing? Any thoughts?

Because orgasm often uncaps emotions. The public mask drops away for a moment.

Eh, he was caught in the moment. Well, i hope so :p

1. He really loves you
2. He thought it would sound nice
3. He thought it was what you wanted to hear

How can we possibly know what's going on in his head. If you wanna know ask him and not us. We don't even know the guy

[Applesauce]

why don't you ask him yourself?

Yes, it's surprising what can be said in the heat of lust.....

I'd ignore any man who said he loved me during sex, particularly if I'd only been with him 2 months. He's more in lust with you at such an early stage and in love with the sex IMO.....

He was talking to your pussy, not you.

[Gribble]

I've said it before during sex.

Once I said it with a girl I'd just met. I covered it up, though. "I love you...'re tits."

[xxazurexx]

Yes, I'm ashamed to say it, but some years ago I had a drunken one night stand and he said he loved me hoping to get sex.....LMFAO

Some guys will say anything.....ANYTHING!

[VincenzoG91]

I love you, xxazurexx.

I wouldn't put much stock in it. If he says it and you're NOT having sex, he might really be feeling something - whether it's love or not, I don't know.

Here's a thought - ask him.

I agree.
Take nothing a man says when he has an erection seriously.
