I love you

I love you ! The three words I have longed to hear from a handsome prince charming who claims he will adore me forever. I am only 20 years old , and have only had 2- 3 serious boyfriends/boys i dated for long term ( the titles of relationships seemed to get confusing and more complex in college ) . No boy I ever dated has said these words . The hottest of the 3 came close , we created our own term known as "lovike". It was cute and innocent , a great example of two people waiting for the right moment.
All my friends I have said I love you to their boyfriends, and have heard it often enough. Some girls after six months , others only three , but if the relationship was going on its "one year" you better believe that boy was saying it ! I never thought it to be not normal for not exchanging these words, don't get me wrong I the boys I dated were amazingly hott and nothing more would have made me happier than to hear their sweet lips move those words to me .
I am a sucker for Romance novels by Nicholas Sparks . His books are filled with passionate examples of love. They almost seem unreal to me. My favorite kind of music to Jam out to , would be a love song. Even when those Jerks broke my heart, all I wanted to do was Crank up "I melt" by Rascal Flatts . I would not imagine those particular boys singing it to me , but just a man I know will come into my future. The feelings in these books are so strong and so amazing sounding , I almost cant comprehend loving a man that much , or knowing someone feels that way about me. Do my friends feel that way about their boyfriends? Do my married couples feel that way about each other? Will I ever know ? Im glad I never heard these words said to me . Im glad that I chickened out on saying them . I don't know what love actually feels like. I know that the boys have came close to the rascal flatts words , but not 100% .. Does this mean my Prince Charming is still out there?

Im wondering If someone could tell me who claims to love someone exactly what it feels like , and if Nicholas Sparks and country singers are true to their words ? or is it just to entertain Broads like me ? And please elaborate <3 Thanks !!
