Drunk "I love you"s ?

[Natasha24]

I've been dating my boyfriend for about 3 months. The other day he called me when he was drunk. Just as we were about the get off the phone, he said "I love you". I told him he didn't, that's just the alcohol talking, and he replied "If you say so."

 

I have no doubt in my mind that he doesn't love me, which is perfectly fine because I don't love him yet either. We're still getting to know each other and he's not the kind of guy to have feelings like that so soon.

 

But I'm wondering what people think about drunk "confessions" like this. Do you think there's a hint of truth behind it? Was he just saying whatever stupid thing that popped into his head? It's not a big deal, and we've already joked around about it, but I'm curious what everyone thinks of drunk "I love you"s!

I think he cares about you, but when you're drunk you're not gonna say "I care about you"

 

Its like when you've met someone at a party who seems cool as a friend and by then end of it you're professing your love for each other (usually this is just for girls haha)

Actions always speak louder than words...

 

So if he treats you with love and care...then he loves you and he cares about you...

 

The drunk dialing is just extra extra...

I wouldn't think much of it the either way, if it comes out of his mouth while he's drunk it may or may not be true. I would talk to him about it. Tell him it confuses you when he does that and that you need him to ensure that doesn't happen until he's told you sincerely when he's sober. Thats immature of him. I've loved a lot of people when I was drunk - believe me. And yes - my drunk mind told me I loved them and they were my best friend but my sober mind was like "who was that person? do i know them".... no love there. promise!

I need duct tape when I'm drunk, I become too honest and say things best not said. In my case I would of meant it if I'd said it while drunk but then I'm daft as a brush

hahaha I told my bf I loved him when I was drunk too. Did it again when I was high. Then again when I had a couple to drink. Have not told him that once while sober. TBH, I don't really mean it. I tell everyone I love them when I'm drunk. Hell, I'd tell the homeless down the street he's the bomb if I'm drunk enough.

I know for sure some guys need to be drunk to have more courage. I think your bf loves you but not sure how you feel and afraid of getting reject or you don't say it back.

I think what you should have done when he said that, was "thank you". Why did you have to say it's alcohol talking.

If you're curious just ask him when he's sober, "hey, do you remember when you're drunk you said you love me?" and see his reaction/body language. If he blushes or edgy, my assumption is right. If he's calm and say, "Oh really?" yeah he didn't mean it at all.

 

btw, I got several drunk love confessions from guys. But they were not my BF and I know they didn't dare to confess it when they're sober because they're not man enough to face rejection.
