A new study has revealed that both men and women are guilty of saying those three magic words, "I love you", in order to get something else.
The annual Romance Report conducted by Harlequin Enterprises revealed that a staggering 55 per cent of men and 41 per cent of women admitted to having made the momentous declaration in the hope that it might lead to sex.
"Many people perceive 'I love you' as the secret password that gets them into the bedroom," said Marleah Stout, senior public relations manager at Harlequin.
"But telling someone you love them because you think that's what they want to hear is not romantic - it's cliched and outdated, and these days romance is a top priority."
So now you know ? honesty really is the best policy when dating!
