How much do you love me?

[DrPhil]

Anyone else get this from their other halves?

Is it just me or is it an utterly pointless and stupid question, inspired by bloody Twilight novels and glossy magazines?

She doesn't ask it like that, but more often than not, if I tell her I love her, the reply is "how much".

I make no bones about the fact that I'm not the most poetic or gushing chap around, so it's a question I find hard to answer. That's not because I don't love her, I just think it's a stupid question.

 

[Thug]

Yeah get it all the time, I just say 'more than chocolate'.

It's a very stupid question. This was me 2 weeks ago. On the way to the airport.

Don't think she was impressed.

 

[Dancook]

"i'm not feeling very loved over here"

.. "me neither"

She's all for equality (as am I), so I won't put up with that you're a man, I'm a woman bs

Don't answer the question. Take a long pause.

When they ask why you've not answered their question say "words cannot describe".

then cry

"...clearly not enough to satisfy your ego, go fish elsewhere."

 

[Egg White]

"more than salt"

 

[Adcook]

"...about the same amount as I love silence"

 

[GaseousClay]

"Enough"

 

[DrPhil]

My response is always "more than" whatever is relevant. If I'm eating a steak it's "more than all the steak in the world" etc.

Doesn't cut it.

I was passing a field with grazing cows, and thought of you.

Ha ha. To be fair, replying with a thank you when someone says they are going to miss you is never what a woman wants to hear.

'I love you'

'Cheers, bye then'

To be fair she always says I give the incorrect response, it's not that I don't like her, it's just me lol

 

[NewMan]

'I love you'

[Kailash]

Where is @dudeness

We need a female perspective!

My gf often just gets upset because I 'haven't said I love you for ages' Read: that day. Not into all this emotional and heartfelt stuff (which she knew when we got together) but still have to say it to keep her happy. I do love her obviously, but turns out she wants to hear it every 5 minutes.

Not had this one yet though, if she asks, I'll probably just shrug

indeed...and what is the correct answer to say? - I suspect it's something like - "more than I've ever loved before.." etc...

 

[Kailash]

I think , To the moon and back, is a commonly accepted reply

 

[IronGiant]

"more than your mother"

Can be taken in more than one way

Gheyist thread since 'I actually started crying'

I only say that on re-entry

I'm here all week, try the buffet.

 

[Adcook]

Borrowing from the only acceptable answer to "how long is a piece of string?"...

"Twice as much as I love half of you."

Edit, it might depend which half

 

[BB3Lions]

"more than the last one"
