Your SO finally breaks down and says, "I love you." You like the person but do not honestly feel any "love." Do you reciprocate under false pretenses or do you come clean and admit to not being in love? Or do you have another strategey for such a situation?

If only it were that easy to be that logical.... |

Looks like you've still got to hit F's two to four. |

We had a frank discussion and, although feelings were hurt, everyone was on the same page. She stuck it out a while longer and I reciprocated when I felt the same. Done. I didn't think twice about it.

|  | The Lowdown Diggler | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Huntington Beach, CA | | | Depends if you're laying in bed naked or not. If it's going to get in the way of accomplishing your man mission then by all means tell her you love her and dive in. But if you're already done, you promptly roll over grab your cell phone and turn her entry in your phone book to "Uh oh!". |

In other words
"I love you"
"Me too"
Always seemed like when someone says they love you its like you saying "yeah I love me too"

I prefer the douchebag fingerpoint (illustrated below) with a wink and a hearty "back at ya". 
This should be quickly followed up with, "uh, yeah, so I* should probably get going."
*Replace "I" with "you" if you are at your place.
