Can saying "I love you" be overused? How often is saying it too much? How often is saying it too little?

Question

When you truly mean it, is there really a limit to saying it?

Answer 1

I believe you should tell the people you love how you feel everyday. There may not be a tomorrow.

Answer 2

i dont think saying "i love you" can be overused because when u really do love someone, and they love u back, there is no limit to how many times those three words can be expressed. i mean, dont say it every single day every time ur with him, but when u two are snuggling or about to kiss, or hugging, then when the moment is right, say it. and mean it. i guess if u never really say it, like once a year or something, is too little, but i mean, like i said, if u mean it and he loves u too, then just tell him ! ♥ ♥ ♥

Answer 3

I don't think it can be overused, assuming you're not repeating it every twenty seconds; it can lose its meaning if said too frequently in too short of a period of time. It will lose its meaning if you say it only when you're trying to get something or if you say it so infrequently that it sounds untrue. But your significant other should want to hear it, so say it when you mean it, as often as you mean it!

Answer 4

I think that it can be overused! Especially when its every other word coming out of your mouth! It gets on my nerves when you can't even have a conversation without I Love You being in there at least 3 times!

Answer 5

Good question. My wife used to think that you "could" say it too much. To "her" it seemed that the more I said it the less I meant it...as if I was trying to convince myself. One day she asked me why I said "I love you" every day. I finally broke down and told her that I'd made a promise to my mom, who told me to make sure I told my wife I loved her every day...my mom was in the hospital, dying of cancer at the time, and I promised her that I would say that for as long as I felt it. My wife never complains anymore.

What my mom understood in those final days is that we only have so many chances to say "I love you" to the ones we love; we never know when death might come or when the one we love is taken from us and we want to know that we did the best we could to make sure that they knew they were loved until the end and that we didn't live regretting that we hadn't said it one last time. If anyone ever tells you that you say it too much...tell them the lesson my mother taught me.

Answer 6

If you mean it , I don't think there is a limit. In my case though I mean it but I am not very expressive when it comes to emotions.

As long as you mean it , that's all that matters. Also make sure you don't say it like once a yr or so . lol. that's not enough.

Answer 7

No you cant over use the words "I love you". Unless you tell it to people you don't love. But you can under use it. Bye not telling the person you love you love them or never telling them you love them but ever so often and that's bad. Hope i could help.

Answer 8

My personal feeling is no. I believe the more you say it the better you are. Some people say different because it lowers the meaning of it or some stupid nonsense like that. 99.9% of men and women alike love to hear it.

Answer 9

Absolutely no limits....Very important to always let that special person know in each phone conversation....each email..etc.....Life is so very short....Each day we awake is a gift...never miss an opportunity to say "I love you".to every dear person in your life...Tomorrow is not promised to any of us...that being said....Strive to always make a difference in another's life....Never hold back on saying "I Love You"......
