how long do you date someone before they say I love you? or what do you do if you havnt slept with each other after going out for a few weeks?

someone has already told me he loves me within the last few weeks of dating him. and we havent even attempt to sleep with each other yet. I am going crazy.

I ask if I can drive his car to the store.
Then I take the keys to get a copy for his house.
The next day, I slip in and leave "love notes" everywhere.
It works every time!

I have never slept with a woman whom I have not first told I loved (in roughly half of the cases, it was them who said it first). Consequently, I can Also still count all of my sexual partners on one hand (which I HEAR, is impressive at my age).

I hate to say this but WAY to many people try to watch the clock when they should be watching the speedometer. In other words, I consider that QUALITY should over rule quantity and thus 'the time spent' should weigh more than 'the spent time'.

Maybe he means it. The question is...are YOU capable of feeling that way without sex, and has the time spent been QUALITY enough to come to that conclusion?

If not...best not to lead him on.

32 weeks, 6 days, 14 hours, 6 minutes and 32 seconds. WTF? There is no schedule for this. It happens when it happens.


or what do you do if you havnt slept with each other after going out for a few weeks?
Keep masturbating.


someone has already told me he loves me within the last few weeks of dating him
The last few weeks or the first few weeks? How long have you been dating exactly?


and we havent even attempt to sleep with each other yet.
Not sure how you tied these two separate things together like this or why you thought the having sex should come first. To many guys say they love just to get the sex.
I am going crazy.
My advice for you right now is buy a vibrator. Not a battery powered one either. Insist on a corded model. Your frustration has pushed you past the practical limits of any battery powered model OK lets get serious here...

I am going crazy.
I can see that Sugar. My advice is just boink his lights out already. Dont worry about all the "I love you" drama right now. If you are ready to boink him then just do it.

Good Luck

In my opinion, there is no set standard approach. Everything now is based on history and how others have chosen to lead their lives.

Some people are more affectionate and sensitive than others. Its all about communication. Obviously he loves the idea of being around you and what you offer as a person. True love comes with time and obviously hardship. But you have to communicate with him and ask him what he really means when he says "i love you".

Sometimes, it maybe at the tip of the tongue and a person doesn't know of a better way to express his/her affection.

I think when someone makes you happy, and you catch yourself grinning , just thinking about the person... you feel safe to say it.... though a few weeks is not enough time to know a person well enough to love most things about the person.
.. then there's the playa..If you are the reason for not having sex yet, he may think that will speed the process

~OP~ I say it when I feel it. Which is rare rare rare in my world. It's been fast once or twice in my life, but more often, not at all. JMO

Wow OP.

When someone is quick to say I Love You, I know they say that to everyone they date for a week or two. I know they don't know me and that they don't love me, so I know they are lying to me, them self or both. I know they place people into roles that they've made up to feel good, and I know I'm not playing that game. If a man hasn't taken the time to get to know me, he does not love me. He probably doesn't know what love is and he probably thinks lust is love, and that I'll be interchangeable with the next woman who dates him.

Cawkblawker is such a smart @ss. Can't really love someone until you've slept with them. You can really like someone, be in lust, but love? Nope, not until the deed is done.

Op,there's no time frame on those 3 little words and im not sure why you're tying that in with the fact you haven't slept with him yet?
So,are you waiting for those 3 lil words.................???
As Cowboy said,a lot of guys will say that to try and get into your pants.

Ive only ever said that to two guys in my entire life!!!!
A lot of people bandy the word around willy-nilly til it loses all meaning.
*I* have only ever said it when i really mean it.

I usually say the words while I'm asking for the first date. "Hi would you like to go out together sometime... because I love you."

If an individual has set their mind set to think they love you, and maintain it constantly, regardless of when, is it true or not?....

My question would be why does the fact that he says he loves you, even though you 2 haven't had sex yet, trouble you? Do you share his feelings, or do you feel it's too soon? Is he the same age as you, btw? Every person is different granted, but my personal experience is that someone younger & less experienced, is more likely to & more open to falling in love, easily. As they have less experience of being hurt, to make them more cautious. It's only a problem, if your perceptions are so different, that it becomes a problem for you. Or if you know already, that you do NOT (& can't) share his feelings.

Some men believe the "key" to your vagina is in those 3 words because they have been "trained" by other women to believe it works.

He may be 'in lust' or 'in fatuation',but he's not in love.
