guys, i need you opinion...

hahaha I am wondering too. I hope we can get some ideas from the male responders here of what really is their reason? Are they bored of saying it? or is the love all go away after being together for long? Suppose to be, sweeter as the years go by?

Imagine I am your prince(Well, I would love to but ...). Well, would you not be bored by hearing same thing again and again and again? I mean we human needs different dish every day for eating! How can we hear same thing again and again. The second thing could be that as the relationship grows older, people tend to start have strong believe in their partner and thus the frequency get lower. How many times a child tells a mom, that he/she loves her after 18-20 years!?!

This is my opinion. As your relationship get longer, you will also know your partner more. The tendency is your relationship will get tigher or weaker. It depends on how your relationship will be develop. If you're compatible, it will be tigher, if you're incompatible, then it will slowly getting cold. So for me, I guess it still important that you pick a partner who shares the same interests.

I also had the same observation. I think maybe because in the beginning, it is still best foot forward. That's why guys seem more affectionate. And as months pass and both parties become secured with the relationship, that is when they start saying I love you for granted. But that doesn't mean that the love has waned. How often "I love you" is said cannot be a measure of how deep or shallow the couple's feelings for each other is. But I just read a book about love languages and it will be a lot of help to know what your partner's love language is. Because if his/her love language is words of affirmation, that means that hearing those words means a lot to him/her rather than receiving any gift from you. Other love languages are acts of service, quality time, receiving gifts, and physical touch.

Hi princess,well five years into the relationship,we still don't forget to say "I Love You" to each other. That really makes the relationship much stronger.

well im in my 3yr relationship and yes, it is rarely now adays but when it is said it has a different meaning..something deep and from the heart. i dont mean that when its in the new relationship the iloveyou word is shallow, its just that i dont believe that you feel love that quick. i believe that when you love you truly love someone when you have truly known him, strength and weaknesses and bad habits and alll of it with no strings attached. dont worry your not alone in this observation..

I think that guys feel that once they have the woman hooked, they don't have to try so hard. Guys sometimes take women for granted. As for my husband, I'm very lucky with him. We've been married almost 2 years, and we still say I love you, many many many times a day. I'll send this discussion his way. He's also on MyLot.

Unfortunately, guys are rather linear in their thinking and have a tendency towards being goal oriented. When the goal is reached (or appears to have been reached), "I love you" gets pushed to the back of the mind and priority list. The trick is to keep his attentiion focused on his original goal.

When the relationship is still new, the guys needs a lot of convincing to do to make their significant other believe them. Of course it's genuine but it's also the time when the significant other is still in doubt partly because the relationships is just starting to blossom. As days go by, saying "i love you" is being mentioned less because it's getting more special. I'm sure you get tired of listening to it too often too right? So saying it just once in a while makes it a lot more special in a way that we, the guys, will keep reminding you that we're still here and still in love.
