Have you ever annoyed someone by saying 'i love you'?

sometimes i get annoyed, but its because i feel obliged to say it back and its not that i don't love my boyfriend but sometimes it feels like it may be perceived to be insincere when your the one who is always saying it back instead of initiating it, just let him to be the first one to say it sometimes, plus less is more, makes it feel less common place if you dont say it 'every 10 mins', more special and means more :) thats how i feel about it anyway.
