But you know what? I said those three words to a boy who didn’t love me back, at least not in that way. He casually dropped a “love you” later on, and in a platonic ‘you have impacted my life’ way, he was telling the truth. But I knew. He had given it thought, and we were not on the same page. I built up all this courage to say “I love you” for the very first time, and I said those words to a person that couldn’t reciprocate them. But guess what? I don’t regret any of it.","author":"Stephen Lovegrove","tags":["courage","i-love-you","love","love","personal-growth","regret","relationship","risk","self-help","vulnerability"],"id":7925,"author_id":"Stephen+Lovegrove"},{"text":"You are mine my precious.","author":"Eyden I.","tags":["dating","i-love-you","love","precious","romance"],"id":13612,"author_id":"Eyden+I."},{"text":"If you walk in any direction walk in the direction toward your greatest dream.","author":"Shannon L.

The Star Wars movie? That's not romantic!' Schuyler huffed, fiddling with the air conditioner controls.Au contraire, my dear, it's very romantic.

Remember?'Schuyler mmm-hmmmed.And Leia leans over the ledge and says, 'I love you.''That's cheesy, not romatic,' Schuyler argued, although she did like that part.Let me explain. What's romantic is what Han says back. Remember what he says to her? After she says 'I love you'?'Schuyler grinned. Maybe Oliver had a point. 'Han says, 'I know.''Exactly,' Oliver tapped the wheel. 'He doesn't have to say anything so trite as 'I love you.' Because that's already understood.
