| | How soon is too soon to say "I love you"?Page 1 of 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) | | Can someone clarify this for me? If I feel (what I think is love) love for someone, I'm always afraid to tell them. I never know if it's too soon and they've given you all the signals that maybe, just maybe, they feel the same for me. The last time I did that, I was dumped. Any help out there? | |

Saying "I love you" means little, it is easily said...LOVING then actively, now that is what love is...its quiet and it doesn't advertise itself...they just see it in your actions. There is never a threat in being loved...but words can frighten us.
If they can't hear it/accept it...guess what? They were never yours anyway. | |

| How soon is too soon to say I love you? Posted: 11/4/2005 7:21:28 PM | | It'd depend on how many times you'd seen each other, and how you genuinely FEEL about the person. I'd also make sure that he felt the same way before saying it if I were you. There's nothing more awkward then saying it and not feeling the same thing and not wanting to "just say it back" in return. I'd say it's a safe bet to wait until you both feel it, and discuss your feelings about one another, prior to spouting out those 3 magic words. | |

Posted: 11/4/2005 7:23:52 PM | | You can't actually really love someone until after the infatuation phase is over because love isn't a feeling, it's a commitment. The infactuation phase is over when he farts in your company and takes a leak in the bushes while going for a walk with you. It's over for you when you don't shave your legs and armpits before a date. If you still feel like saying it then, then it must be love. | |

| How soon is too soon to say I love you? Posted: 11/4/2005 7:24:51 PM | | Now I have had one person that told me that he loved me after talking with me once online. Then he begged me to take his "cashier's check" from Africa to get him out of the country. Needless to say, I told him to get lost. | |

The only thing I will say about "I love you", is too many times with OLD people will say it without meeting face to face and actually spending quite a bit of time together. I do believe that real love, in the romantic sense, does take several months of spending time together, seeing each other in your best and worst, when you're healthy and sick. If you want love to last, you really should begin it with a good friendship. | |

| How soon is too soon to say I love you? Posted: 11/4/2005 10:17:15 PM | It's too soon if you haven't said "You are sweet", "You are adorable", or something like that ... and if you haven't heard similar words in return. Start small and feel the other person out.
Saying "I Love You" is almost a question: ("do you love me?"), even when you're saying it to someone you KNOW loves you back.
Also, some people are a lot more reserved about saying those three little words than others, but it doesn't necessarily mean they don't care about you deeply | |

Posted: 11/4/2005 10:27:31 PM | | You should be able to express yourself to that person before saying those 3 words ...as yes if they dont say them back it could hurt and then if they did and were only saying them cause they felt obligated to you would be hurt even more. i think the suggestion saying other things is a good idea. like your a sweetie, etc etc.. and by the way good luck.

| How soon is too soon to say I love you? Posted: 11/5/2005 2:10:27 AM | That's a good question. For me I allow it to fester trying to deny it and it builds and builds; I then ask to meet with her and 'confess' what I'm feeling - always thinking she may respond negatively.
I know....weirdo! | |
