The 'L' word?

I'm trying to get a general idea of when's a good time to say "I love you" so someone. I know it's different from couple to couple. But just say your gender (if it's not obvious), how long you waited before saying it, and how your boyfriend/girlfriend took it (run away screaming, loves you back, etc)

    My husband told me he loved me on our third date. I panicked. I told him we'd only been dating for a week and I was his first girlfriend and he was probably mistaking infatuation for love. We were dating about three months before I said it back to him, because that's how long it took me to be certain of my own feelings. It's my opinion that as soon as you are sure is the right time to say it, but do it in a way that the other party doesn't feel they're expected to say it back. And be sure. Those aren't words you can take back later if it turns out it was only infatuation.

    Joel you will know when the right time arrives. Some time when you are having some quiet time and she looks into your eyes, smiles, places her head on you would be an excellent time. Say I Love You soft and sweet. Never blast it out since this is a special minute when you have the feeling, there is no other. She may respond or she may just raise her head for a soft kiss. After the kiss, repeat, I Love You. She will hear you this time. If she says nothing just let it go for the time being. But now she knows and she heard you express your love to her twice. Always be loving, gentile, when you speak these sacred words to the love of your life. God Loves Joel. God Bless Joel to make wise choices.

    In both my Previous and current relationship the guy has said it first. The relationship i am in now, I honestly dont remember, we were friends for 15 years before we got together, so we had already said love, just in a different way. It just kinda continued and grew :)

    Just say it when you feel it, that's my advice :)

    Whenever you know and are completely sure of your feelings and emotions.

    When you can decipher between love, infatuation, & lust.

    They all feel almost alike, so when you want to throw out that L word, make sure you mean it for sure, otherwise the other party will think you're full of **** sometime down the road when you realize it wasn't ever love.

    well, my boyfriend told me he was in love with me after 6 weeks of dating. I didn't run for the hills lol we have been together for 1 1/2 years now. We are 23 and 24. You should base it off of your personal connection to her.

    With my current boyfriend I told him I love him about 4 months into our relationship. He was soo relieved and said he was too scared to say it first but has felt it for awhile. Just say it when you're ready if you think you love him then tell him!

    wait in till you actually mean it.. when you do take her some where she likes, and tell her. if she gets mad at least you can make her feel better cause she likes the place your at. like maybe a bowling alley or something.
