Today, I told my girlfriend I love her for the first time. She said, "Thanks." FML

Maybe she's just nervous. Give her a bit of time and don't bring it up for a 2-3 weeks, then ask if you said it too soon.

Just give her time, it's not always easy to say those words back, maybe she wants it to mean something important. I can be that way too, I don't want be be half assed about the word "Love". So just give her time :) Try again in 3-6 weeks, those who wait receives

Don't worry about it. I said that to my girlfriend with the same response over 3 years ago, we just celebrated our 4 year anniversary.

Would you have rather her lied and said I love you when she doesn't really mean it? If she doesn't cut and run she really cares about just not sure if she loves you. Be patient and keep being a good boyfriend she will in time either tell you she loves you and you will know she means it or hint that she wants to tell you she loves you but you need to say it first again. Bit if she doesn't care he will cut and run so either way at least she was honest ...

I didn't know what to say either the first time my boyfriend told me either. I really thought about it and it was 2 days later I said it back and made sure it was heartfelt and meaningful. Now we're making wedding plans. Don't give up on her OP. If it feels right stick with her, and she'll show how much she cares when she's ready.

Take it slow ,she will come around when she is ready .

Maybe she's just not ready to say that yet? Dumping her just because she didn't say 'I love you' back would be very stupid...

Bro I know exactly how you must be feeling, Fyl indeed :/

Maybe she wanted to here those 3 words so badly, that she nervously responded by saying thanks to you. It's normal-people say things like same to you on being wished Happy birthday :) Give her a day or two and her reply wot be thank you this time.

Give it some time, not every relationship is always on the same page. Talk to her about it and how you feel and felt in that moment and ask her where she is in this relationship and what she wants in the future from it. That will tell you I'd she is in it for the long haul. If not, sorry about your luck OP

Maybe she's not ready to say it back. Wouldn't you rather her say she loves you because she feels the same way, instead of feeling obligated? We also don't know the circumstance of you saying it. Some people throw those words around without truly meaning it. Did you say it after a few weeks of dating and it was too soon (for her) or right after you two had sex and she thinks it's a climate love?
