So, told my girlfriend last night that I loved her for the first time.

It didn’t go as planned. I mean…I spent most of Thanksgiving weekend with her. We ate dinner with my family, and visited Binks, Danger and Stew for a brief jaunt of video game playing. And I was with her all Monday, October 13th, which was the pseudo-anniversary of our first kiss (read: It has been three months since I first worked up the courage to kiss her).

Yeah. Told her that I loved her…but her response wasn’t what I expected. She did tell me that she loved me, but after acting like what I said wasn’t a big deal. And I don’t know. Maybe it wasn’t. Maybe she could tell already. But it kind of kicked me in the chest for about three minutes between me saying it and her saying it.

:S

How does one properly handle the “I Love You” situation? I mean…I’m beginning to think I went about it in a poor fashion (and I hope this doesn’t damage my relationship, as Katie is pretty much perfection in my mind).
