Today, I worked up the courage to tell my girlfriend that I love her. She made a face like she'd just sucked on a lemon and said, "Um... yay, I guess...?" and awkwardly left the room. FML

Wow. She could have been definitely more polite about the situation, it took a lot for you to say that to her and to react like that is uncalled for. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, it could've been handled way better.

That's incredibly rude of her. The first "I love you" is an important and HUGE part of a relationship. All she needed to say, was that she was not ready for that step yet.

Awe so sorry! Must be an awful feeling

Well, the first time someone said they loved me, I kinda blinked and said "Thank you..." It was with the guy I'm in the picture with. So, it could turn out amazing in the end (we were 16, now we're 30)..She just sounded shocked.

You're sure she's your girlfriend though, aren't you? FYL if it's a case of unrequited love..

My friend also recently said that to her (now ex) boyfriend. He made a fake vomiting motion.

Girls get freaked out when they hear the L word sometimes.... When my husband and I first got together I emphasized how much that word scared me and you wouldn't imagine how long it took him to tell me he loved me. Let her dwell on it. Surely she will have something to say later, it probably just took her by surprise

How is she your girlfriend if she didn't even know you love her?

Well usually you aren't "in love" at the beginnings of a relationship. It's generally something that develops over the course of the relationship.

I wonder how long the OP was dating said GF. The way it comes across is that it was way too soon and freaked the gf out. If that's the case I don't blame her, but some are just uncomfortable saying/ or hearing it in general. Too many Fml's involve someone "declaring their love" for someone that they barely no or have been given little reason to return the sentiment.
