How long were you in your relationship before you said "I love You"?

The first person I loved I never told, I was 15 at the time. The second I told after 10 months (20 for that one), the third after 2 years (27). I will not say it unless they do so first or they are leaving me. I am too afraid to put it out there, the people who love me leave and the ones I admit to loving leave faster.

You know, it's all in your own time. I'm not sure there is or even should be a "typical" timeline for love. I may wonder if two adults spend a year or more together and don't feel ready to say it....but that's just me.

We had been dating for about 3 months. I knew almost immediately that he was special and that I wanted to marry him, lol!! But I managed to keep a lid on that and just enjoy spending time with him. I'll never forget the night he just burst out with "I LOVE YOU!" It was so cute. And of course I felt comfortable letting the floodgate go, at least regarding my feelings for him. ;) I didn't want to pressure him about marriage!! We did begin to talk about it later; it just naturally came up. He asked me to go ring shopping after almost a year together, and we married nearly two years into dating. Our 4th wedding anniversary is in January! Six years total time together this May. I am 26 and he is nearly 25, and our daughter just turned 2.

Said I love you after 6 weeks - relationship lasted over 2 1/2 yrs. I was 19.

Said I love you after 4 weeks - still in the relationship. I'm 25 now. Been together over 2 1/2 years going on 3.

I did not tell my girl friend i loved her once in the year and a half we dated.... Partially because of my lack of emotion i guess... I think thats what we broke up over too was because i didnt care... Oh well, when you are ready you will know until then hold off

well me and my bf have been talking for like 2 months and have been going out for 2 an a half weeks. we just said i love you to eachother yesterday. i do love him bc we got to know the real us first. im 17 and he is 20

we where dating for 2years!!! and he told me he love when we at summer school during our jr.high school years now we are in high school and we are just friends but.... the thing he still love's me but i move on so do not worryy!!
