Revealed: What 10PM On A Saturday Night Means For The Average Irish Person

Those three famous words... when are you most likely to hear them being uttered?

According to a study,10pm Saturday night is your time if you're waiting to hear, "I love you".

The study showed that people are generally in a good mood on a Saturday night, feeling relaxed and romantic, enough to whisper those famous words.

However, it's not guaranteed either as it's also reported that one in 10 of us never say "I love you".

The survey, carried out by TV channel Sky Living to launch its new show It’s Love Actually, also revealed the other times we're feeling the love are before we fall sleep, after sex, on our birthdays and when someone else says "I love you" first.

So we've to wait for Saturday for the fireworks to happen... 

The study was completed by 2,000 adults. It also showed that some prefer to show their love with actions, more so than words. Cooking and cleaning were top of the list as shows of affection other than the usual cuddles and whispers of sweet nothings.

But four in ten admitted they sometimes say "I love you" without really meaning it, with the average clock up being up to nine times a week. Awkward.
