Responses To "I Love You" When You Don't Want To Say It Back · The Cubby and Christine Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Kiss on my list. What about a text you didn't
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: ask for?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Light FM. It's Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen. Go ahead. What happened?
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Or even in person, Cubby. What's a good response when
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: somebody tells you I love you and you don't love
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: them back?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. This didn't happen to anybody in the room, but
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it's a story that.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, it didn't?
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: So these are some of the suggestions. This is what
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: people say. Think about it.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Somebody's told you they love you. They're really putting themselves
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: out there, but you're not feeling, you're not quite there.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: You can simply say, thank you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: That is very cold, and that's not good.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: You can say, that means a lot to me, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful for your feelings.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've seen all these before, by the way.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: You have? Or heard?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Before I got married. Yeah, they just weren't there.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: We're reading the same book, but you're a few pages
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: ahead of me.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Now, that's actually kind of encouraging if you're dating somebody
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: and they say that.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Because they're kind of saying there's a chance.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: You're saying there's a chance.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Dumb and dumber.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Thank you. I feel very loved by you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I mean, that's nicer than just thank you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The one I think you never want to say, I know.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: That's a suggestion, too.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: How about that we're at, in this day and age,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: a fact that it's all about texting and how it
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: comes across on text.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It should be in person. It should be on the phone.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: You shouldn't have to worry about how you're going to
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: respond to a text. If someone says, I love you,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: but you're not in love with them, what do you
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: say back? You know, you could send maybe a tumbleweeds gif.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But it should be in person. It should be on
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the phone and not on text.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Well, of course.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Of course. Like, do you even remember.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: The first time you said I love you to Eric,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: was it on text or was it in person?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: No, it's in person.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, and how did it go?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So, you know how I said the one thing you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to say back to somebody if you're not
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: there yet.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Is I know. That's how it went in person.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He said I know?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, so bear with me.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Set this up for me. Hang on, let me get
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the right music.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Cubby, we were.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It was clearly there. The feelings were clearly there between us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Because trust me, I'm not putting myself out on that limb.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to scare anybody either. We were
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: like six months.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Into dating, full on. He was like practically living at
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: my house.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: That's a good amount of time.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And I kind of half slipped, but needed to say.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I love you. And what does he do? He says,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I know. And he started crying. And it wasn't tears
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of joy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: That was my next question. It had to have been
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: tears of joy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: He started crying.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: He realized he was on the same page as you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: He's, he was on the same page as me, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: he had come out of a rough relationship and he
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was afraid of falling in love again. And like, that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: would be leading to hurt down the road. So that's,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: In hindsight, probably he would agree. Not the best response.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And did he walk away? Did he just get up?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, you did.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, that's not what I was hoping to hear.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Wasn't the response I was looking for. Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Well, now seven years.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: We worked it out.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It is true love.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It is a risk, though, when you're the first one
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to say it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't know
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I was feeling it back.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: So it was there. He just had to come to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: terms with it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And again, you can laugh about it now and all
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is well. How about a group that sings good love songs?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Like You and Me. That's a great song.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And All of the People.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And All of the People.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And Hanging by a Moment. The group is Lifehouse, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we have tickets right now.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can see them on Tuesday, October 20th at
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Gramercy Theatre. Tickets available now at Ticketmaster.com or give us
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a call.
• 3:57
