drop the L-bomb



drop the L-bomb

To say "I love you" or a similar expression of love to a romantic partner, especially unexpectedly and/or for the first time. We'd only been dating for a couple of months when he dropped the L-bomb on me. I was so shocked that all I could think to say back was, "Thank you!"
