How did your SO say I love you for the first time?

I’m just curious 🤷🏻‍♀️ my bf and I had been dating for about 2 months. We were just laying in bed and he said that he needed to tell me something. Anyways I’m like alright just tell me. He said no I’ll tell you later (he was scared). We started making out and one thing led to the next and all of a sudden he said,” I have to tell you this I have herpes”. I pushed him off of me and was like what the hell! He started apologizing and said that he didn’t mean to say that and he meant to say that he loved me. He got scared and that was the first thing that came to his mind 😂 Also, no he doesn’t have herpes. I give him shit to this day about it.
