How many people have told you they love you?

I mean genuinely and romantically. I just got like my sixth declaration of love ever today and I really don't know if this is normal for a girl my age (21). Only two of the people who've ever said it I have actually been in a relationship with. I'm worried that either I'm really bad and always lead people on without realising it, or that people use it so casually nowadays that it doesn't mean as much as it should. I feel like I'm almost becoming numb to it now.

So I'd be interested to know about how many people have actually said "I love you" to you in the past, and whether you believe that they meant it? Somehow I'm also inclined to believe girls get this more than guys. Would be interested in knowing whether this is true. Also how many people have YOU said it to and do you think you meant it each time?

I'd say you're leading people on. That's not normal.

I've only said it to my bf...and mean it with all my heart
I've been told three times, once by my bf, the other two were admirers and they both became creepy and stalkerish and I believe they meant it...sentiments weren't returned.

I've said "I love you" to two guys, my boyfriend now ex and my best guy friend. Yes I meant it.

I have exactly the same problem! But I don't think about it all that often. Mine is probably around 6 too, two of whom were actual boyfriends. The other 4 were guys I was kind of flirting with over a period of time, or we'd gone out a couple of times after being mates for a few months. I think they thought they loved me, but I never took much notice. It's easy to get caught up in a whirl when you find someone you really really like and sometimes things like that get said. They might even say it because they think that's what you want to hear, I don't know. I don't think I lead anyone on, it's not like I stand there chanting "do you love me? do you, do you??? because I have feelings for you".

None. Of course, family and friends but I don't think that's the question being asked here. None from boys/boyfriends.

I've said it to my boyf and i've said it to my ex boyfriend when i was with him. I hate it when people say it to me if i don't feel the same way it makes me feel really awkward and they seem to expect me to say it back and i can't, thats happened with a couple of my one night stands, who really shouldn;t even think of saying that kind of thing to anyone.
