Love
 

Here's a topic for y'all...

How soon is too soon for someone to say "I love you" in a relationship?

If I heard that in the first month or two of a relationship, I'd go running for the hills. But that's just me. :)

Absolutely.

Gimme 8 months to a year before the LOVE word.

After 4 or 5 months is OK, but better after 6. Hubby thinks a year.

I used to know this guy in HS that used to tell a girl "I love you" right after she agreed to date him. :rolleyes: Hope he got out of that habit.

What is WITH you people!?
 

I think it varies. I have known I felt that way within about five minutes. Others, it took much much much longer :laugh:

I do think it is possible to love someone without knowing them, which is what happens with love at first sight, which IMO is diff than a crush or mere infatuation which I have had as well. Then, once you get to know them, the bad can outweigh the good.

Personally, I'd say six months minimum. Even if I felt it before then, I wouldn't say it so early in the relationship. :nod:

Yep - I say in my 38 years on this planet - that is some VERY good advice!!!!!!!

Hmm...

Well, the context might help (or maybe it doesn't matter). We've been dating for a little over a month, and this was more like a quick "love ya" at the end of a conversation, not a lingering, romantic "I love you." Although, there was a bit of a pause before he said it. It made me wince a little bit, because I know this guy has been developing strong feelings (from his perspective) for me, but has been biting his tongue.

Ut oh. Sounds like he is reallllly attached already.

I don't know...he hasn't been clingy, or anything like that. I still feel like I'm getting to know they guy, and deciding how I feel about him (although, I do like him a lot), and he loves me already?

Well, first and foremost - what's not to love about you :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo:

Secondly - some people just fall fast - some take more time :shrug: I think the important thing is to after say three months or so - make a list of the things you like and the things you do not and go from there. It is actually frightening sometimes when you look at that list :laugh:

Best of luck to you!!!!!!

If it works out - let me know where to send the blender :laugh:

the only advice i can offer is to NEVER say it too soon and only when you mean it

way too destructive to give so easily only to take it away

I think it's okay whenever you want, but my rule is: NOT UNTIL THEY SAY THEY LOVE YOU FIRST! :lol: :lol: :lol:
It's nice that guy loves you, though. And I don't think it's too serious that he said it. And if you don't love him yet, you just don't. :shrug:

hey heartbreaker...you suck :lol: :shocked: :D
