How long would you wait?

Hi! How long would it normally take someone to say that they love you? (After having started dating properly)

739.4 days, depending on the lunar cycle.

Good question. My instinct is that this is often said in the first flush of romance ie first few months rather than waiting long enough to know if it could be true..
Depends on how much you like them I guess, for me it was quite quick as I fell for her so quickly

2-3 months, not that I ever said it. I think I wouldn't believe it sooner.

How quickly?
When you love them, and not before that.
A month.

Well the second day we spoke I started texting her all day and it was just amazing... we could talk so easily and I sorta knew how I felt the next day... it wasn't long after that that I actually told her I love her.

Six months, having known her for about a year beforehand. Not fallen for anyone since.

This. I don't know how or why people refer to time scales when it comes to love. I would rather it came from the heart, whether that is a week or a year into a relationship. I don't wanna hear my partner say they love me for the sake of it or because we've hit the 3 month mark or whatever.

Did she say anything that made you know you loved her? Hope it's going well with her! :smile:
It all depends on the relationship and how close you both are I think. Me and my bf said it within a month of the relationship but we were friends before going out and had already confessed how we felt before going out so it felt natural to start saying it early on in the relationship.

If I were in a relationship with someone I wasn't too close with before and hadn't known them for a while, I wouldn't have said it so quickly. I imagine it would have been a few months before either would say it but I suppose you just know when the time is right.

Good question.... I can't really think of anything specific... it was just the way we talked and then hearing her voice just made it easier. Yeah it's going great thanks :smile:

I'm guessing you're going out with her now based on what you said?:tongue:

This. There is no other answer. There is no time rule when it comes to this.

Some relationships you may end up never saying it because you may never love them, others you may fall in love with quickly. Some may take longer or never at all.
