Somebody on another forum just pointed out that Gary is being simply factually wrong here; even within the comic, his first kiss wasn't with Dillon, it was with DiDi. Indeed, that was what led to him kissing Dillon. And if the DiDi kiss somehow doesn't count, why should the Dillon one?
Perhaps the Dillon kiss counts because it was a mutual exchange, rather than Gary being caught unaware by an apparently very early-on delusional DiDi?

Maybe, but that needs an awful lot of special pleading. And Gary acknowledged after the event that he had kissed DiDi; he just got depressed because he thought that he'd made a pig's ear of it.

...wow, hot boyfriend or no, this seems pretty insultingly dismissive.

I honestly never realized no one had said "I love you " to Gary before this.
His parents were monsters, clearly.

This is a surprisingly nice conclusion to the "Dillon loves Gary"-subplot. ^_^

Yuki has not said that she loves him in person, even in Japanese, but she did presumably send a text that she does.

Gary's mom, however, did not say that she loves him during their phone call.

I think we can assume that this has to be “I love you” in the specific, romantic tone. I wouldn’t assume that his mother had never said the words, but that’s not what he’s talking about here.

(And Yuki seemed more focused on complimenting his lingual dexterity than saying she loved him in that strip.)

EDIT: Apparently, Yuki did text “I love you” to Gary in that strip. But it was in Japanese, so it’s possible that Gary never found out what the words meant.

An anime-lover might have a better chance than some to recognize certain stock phrases like "suki".
