“Saying 'I love you' first is bold and should always be celebrated regardless of the response”
Agree
- Takes courage to be vulnerable first
- Honesty about feelings is always admirable
- Better than playing it safe forever
- Someone has to go first eventually
Disagree
- Timing matters more than who goes first
- Can put pressure on the other person
- Wait until you're both clearly ready
- Bold doesn't mean smart in this case
