Rinas Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Whether it was in your current or prior relationships, how early did you say those three words? Were you the one to say it first? Were the feelings mutual? I realize you should only say it when you mean it, and there is no specific "right time" for this. I had a girlfriend who had only been seeing her guy for two weeks, when he blurted out "I love you." Her response was "WHAT?!" He brought it back up again a month later. (They've now been together for 14 months.) Another girlfriend of mine had her boyfriend tell her that he loved her after two months. She left him the next day. So why not share your experiences?
tonyp56 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Well, through experience, you learn that those feelings early on, though they may feel like love, just mean you like the person and that you feel a connection with them on some level. Truth is, real love takes a long time to develop and though your one friend had her bf tell her after 2 months she left and the other one after 2 weeks didn't it just means most likely the one that waited 2 months to tell her she didn't feel the same and so she left him because she realized her feelings weren't the same. If you told a woman or man the day after you met her/him you loved him/her and felt the same thing it would be no big deal, but most likely she won't (or he won't) that quickly and run for the hills. I think, if you are around someone everyday and feelings are strong, two months is about right to actually "LOVE" them not just like them or be really interested in them etc... Though you could probably tell him/her sooner and if him/her felt same it would be mutual and no one would run! I've told after about a month before. Current GF I loved her before we got romantically involved for 3-4 years as we were friends only and got really close and my feelings changed for her. Edited August 20, 2011 by tonyp56
