There's a pleasant grace period in the beginning of a relationship where entire conversations can be had that are fun and pleasant and carry absolutely nothing serious at all. Then someone says the fateful phrase and from then on, it becomes mandatory conversation fodder. Things become a little more serious and a little less fun. The first time you say it, you mean it. Every other time is somewhat diminished because you have to just keep saying it or it'll seem like something is wrong. It's something that healthier people avoid saying for as long as possible because they know what kind of downward-spiral of smothering it can be. I know I'd much rather have a real conversation with someone that is full of laughter and witticisms than have one of those "I love you. What are you wearing? No, you hang up first!" conversations.

Well, we've known each other for the last 4 something years, and have liked each other for the past 2 and a half. We thought we were both friendzoned so nothing materialized until she couldn't take it any more, and one day she opened up. That was about a month ago. Now the 1 month thing scares me, but it has been a very romantic relationship(nothing physical-I am trying to not focus on that aspect and neither is she), we've written "love letters", and we know each other incredibly well--there's nothing we don't know about each other. It's almost as if we were made for each other. To be honest, I thought we were on the same page, but I slipped up. Her reaction scared the shit out of me and I have since been slamming my head into every object I can find. Yes I know it's too early, but I cannot express the circumstances between the two of us adequately enough. TL;DR I am a moron.
