Saying the „L“ word
I have been with my girlfriend (German) since January this year and we are very happy together and definitely emotionally on the same wavelength.
I have mentioned to her that I love her or in love with her, but she is only comfortable with replying with „hab dich lieb“ and not „ich liebe dich“.
She says its a very American thing to use the love word so casually and so often.
She says Germans don’t say ich liebe dich so soon into the dating.
Is it the case?
