musicalsteve82 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My girlfriend of one week told me she loves me. It's only been one week since we started dating. That being said, she has KNOWN me for five years. Given that, is it still too soon? I mean, we've known each other for half a decade.
smackie9 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 She's probably had these feelings for you for years. So no it's not too soon for her anyways. There are guys on here that want to profess their love to a girl they have never dated before but have been their friend for years. My guess why you are here is that you are not there yet and yes it's real awkward not to say it in return. You are just going to have to let her know you are not ready yet, and need more time. I know she will feel hurt or embarrassed but oh well she probably has been wanted to tell you for a long time and just needed to get it out there. 1
Author musicalsteve82 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I'm ok with it. I was just wondering if that should be a red flag. Often it is, but I wonder if it's different since we've known each other for a long time.

Often it is, but I wonder if it's different since we've known each other for a long time. i think the idea of caring about someone to the point of telling them you love them shouldnt be a red flag ....unless of course.....you dont know that person at all..and met them at a bus stop.....then yes...possible red flag.....be honest with her tell her the truth.....she wanted you to know...doesnt mean you have to say it back like a parrot and mimic her feelings....thats not honest or true...........love doesnt have time limits.........deb
preraph Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 She's known you so long that it's okay. Now, that doesn't mean that now that you're dating her, things won't change because she may have projected some things onto you that make you seem perfect or something, as we all tend to do, but it's not a red flag since you've known each other forever.
d0nnivain Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 If you had only known her for the time you have been dating, I would agree that it's too soon. Given your lengthy history she does not appear unstable simply because she voiced her feelings.
Author musicalsteve82 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 She also said she's wanted to date me for a long time if that affects anything.
d0nnivain Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 It just solidifies that her feelings have been there for longer than you have been dating. 1
