How long do you take before you tell someone that you love them? The reason that I ask is that one of my friends seems to say it after about three dates and he does mean it. He falls in love very easy and has to always be in a relatiosnhip. Another of my friends was with his girlfriend for 5 years and he never once told her that he loved her (now his ex gf) How long do you take before you say those words?

Well, I don't know exactly how many days but if I know that I am already sure that I love that person already then I will tell him the way I feel for him.. But of course, if that person isn't know me or we are not that close I won't tell him how I feel for him 'cause it is very shameful on my part to approached him and tell him that i'm in love with him.. I think he will just laugh at me.. I don't want to look by the other people that I'm "flirt".. Well, it is not that easy for a girl (especially me) to tell someone that she love him if the girl knows that the guy isn't love her because we all know that "boys should do that".. It is not good to look to a girl courting to a guy.. Anyways, I know that there are some girls who are doing it..

Saying you love the person and letting him feel that you love him are a different story. There are people who would actually want to hear it while for some, it is better to feel it than hear it. For me, both are important. The first time I told my boyfriend I love him was when we were about 3 months already. I just felt like saying it because it was what's really inside me and I thought I was ready to tell him so. He said he knew it. So I think he feels it. There are some people who are just quiet and never say "I love you" to their partner but what's important is that he really loves the person, it is pure and true.

I guess it is different for each one of us depending on the relationship and the nature of the person whom we are. I am a very shy person and don't normally tell anyone how much I love them because it is just plain embarrassing to me. I know people whom I love would love to hear those words from me, but they most probably are expecting a huge miracle if it is from me they expect that... They should know me better..

I haven't count these days but it was only 4 days. My hubby proposed with in four days that we met. And that was amazing to me. I accepted him because there is no reason to reject.

feelin' of love is not as simple as we think.Sometimes it takes years to express and sometimes it happen all of a sudden. myself bein' a shy guy ,already taken 6 months and still mot findin' apt words to express my feelin'.she is a gud friend of mine and i dunno whether this is true love or just attraction towards a old friend.
