Honestly, I don't think there's a time frame you can put on telling someone that you love them. I think that when you feel that you are ready to express your feelings to that special person and tell them you love them, then you will know in your heart that it's time; whether it be 1 week or 100 years.
9 months, 4 days, 7 hours, and 34 minutes. Its a secret dont tell anyone else.
Love doesn't come with a project plan - you feel it when you feel it, but it's one of those weird foibles of humans that telling someone you love them can have a negative effect. I can't wait until the next time someone says it to me and means it, but only if it's the person I want to be saying it to me.
Worst case scenario, by the way, is when you tell someone you love them and they say "Thank you". Eesh!
Say it when you love them. Granted if you honestly think you love them if you've been dating them a week, you probably don't know what it's really like to love someone. Your initial pull to someone is just infatuation. Infatuation lasts for about half a year. If you still have feelings after that amount of time, then it's really love.
If somebody told me they loved me after a few weeks, I would laugh in their face.
Either you say it really early in a strong relationship. Such as waiting only 2 weeks to 5 weeks. After that you must wait until you both are stable enough to hear it.
Peace
Two phrases that mess everything up:
1) I Love You
2) I do
Men strike these words from your vocabulary!
Instead say:
1)I rub you
2)I U
I'd recommend saying it when it's true, but also when you think the other person feels the same.
A girlfriend I once had said "I love you" to me early on in the relationship. I said "I really like you, but I can't say that to you yet". Her face was so miserable, and basically for the next week she was miserable. In the end I caved in and lied to her and said I loved her, just to get things back to normal. That's why I'd recommend only saying it once you think you'll have it returned, because otherwise you can put pressure on the other person and hurt yourself if they're just not 'there' yet. You're also more likely to get an honest answer back if you're almost certain they feel the same.
There isn't a time frame. Whenever you fall in love, you know for sure. And when you know thats when you can tell them.
Right after I had my very first kiss at 17 (with tongue too) I told the girl "I love you". She said it back too :)
no time. you should only say I love you if you truly do love them. not because you've been with them for a certain amount of time
saying it too soon, and your either lying or your infatuated and confused.
You can't measure these things with time. My advice is say "I love you" when they're ready to hear it.
Once I said "I love you" too soon (Too soon = 3 months of a relationship) and I lost complete control and was miserable for the remaining 2 weeks of the relationship.
i dont know, i want the guy to tell me he loves me soon and keep repeating it, but i never like saying it myslef and i wonder why no guy has noticed it that if he says he loves me once and i asked him to say it to me a thousand more times and yet i said it like just one time its weird..men!!!!
