Is a month and a half of being in a relationship too soon to say “I Love You”?
I met this guy about four months ago and at first we were really good friends. I was dating other people at the time and nothing was really working out for me so I decided to give up, but then he asked me if I wanted to go out with him romantically. It clicked instantly for us and I just enjoy spending time with him every chance I get.
I’m just not sure if it’s too soon to be saying that these feelings I have for him warrant love, or infatuation. He asked me to be his girlfriend a month and a half ago. I’m wondering if there is a certain amount of time someone should wait, I’ve only had one boyfriend in the past and I’ve never felt like this way before. I’m scared he’s going to think I’m a weirdo.

It’s not unusual for people to wonder about this. We always wonder if our relationship is on track—progressing at a normal pace. My feeling is that there is no such thing as “normal.” Everyone’s relationship develops differently, so there is no need to worry about passing certain milestones, such as saying “I love you.”
According to surveys I’ve read, most people say “I love you” about five months after they have been dating. Some people wait until six months. Many milestones, other than “I love you,” also appear around the six-month mark. For me, it was breakup with my ex because we realized that there would be no future for us. We weren’t able to Imagine being beyond the romantic phase.
The six-month mark is also the first time when you will begin to see your partner for who he really is, along with his imperfections. You decide whether you can live with those imperfections, or you break up. You may also have your first fight.
My feeling is that I know you’d love nothing more than to express your affection for your guy, but “I love you” is a group of words that you can save for now. If he doesn’t feel the same way, he may be feeling pressure to say those words just because you have. “I love you” is best shown through actions more than words. Trust me when I tell you that he can tell without your words that you care a great deal about him.

I think it's different for every situation. In one relationship, I said it 2 or 3 months in. In a 6 month relationship, I didn't say it once. Unless you are in highschool, I think you know your feelings well enough to decipher if it's love, so if you believe it is then you can either wait a little longer or let it out.

Well...first of all...what's the END GAME HER HONEY BUNS? You sound stupid...which means you are YOUNG.
We date people to determine their suitability for these other people to be a MATE and to be a PARENT. In other words...the ONLY real reason to date is to get married. The only reason to get married...is to start a family and RAISE CHILDREN. If you don't want kids...NEVER EVER EVER EVER (can't say it enough) get married.
SO...end game. What is YOURS and what is his? Love has NOTHING to do with it. (its all fine and dandy...but completely irrelevant)
Love...you care....blah blah blah. Being 'IN LOVE"...a whole "nother" BALL GAME. It makes you feel and do STUPID things. So which is it? Are you IN LOVE or are you just at a caring stage?
Too late BTW...you are a WEIRDO...you are female. Oy veh...good luck!
