Is 3 weeks to soon to say "I love you"?

I have been having a relationship with my partner now for 3 weeks yesterday, and for the past I have actually had to stop myself form saying it! But yesterday I said it and he said it back! He said he has been feeling the same and there have been loads of times he has had to bite his tongue.

I haven't felt about a guy like this before. He's perfect! I could list all the qualities but I'd be here all day :p: It just feels soo right every time I say it to him!

Do you think it was too soon?

Considering we have been talking from February and got really close like a month before we actually started seeing each other.

If it feels right for both of you then great, its only soon if you feel its that way. You have a history so its not like you only met three weeks ago!
My fiance texted it to me after our first date, he didn't really mean it, but eventually he said it to me, and I felt the meaning, and was happy to say it back, which was after a month or so. If you're both prepared to say the words and mean it then its not too soon!

Yeah I really do mean it! :biggrin:

Congratulations on the engagement!!! :party:
umm well my boyfriend said it to me after a month, at the time it did scared the crap out of me.. but we're still together a year on so I recovered from the shock I think :p:
Well if someone said i love you after 3 weeks to me id run away but seeing as you feel the same.
However early on in the relationship people think they are in love normally its just the "honeymoon period" but seeing as youve known each other beforehand... it might be different
unlike stupid girl on my corridor who knew this guy for less than two week and is now apparently "in love"
lol sorry for being so cynical :biggrin:

three weeks does seem a bit quick mate but if he said it back then no worries eh?

I think it is different for everyone, therefore can not say whether it is too soon or not. I would however advise you to be cautious, and listen to your head as much as your heart.

I think that 3 weeks does seem a bit soon, but some people just click together and seem just right together. If that's how you feel, then lucky you! Especially as you've been speaking for a while, it's not like you've only just met!

I knew pretty much after our first kiss that I loved my fiance and I told him a week after we started going out (ie a week after that kiss) - and he said it back. Nearly six years later I feel exactly the same and we're getting married next year, so don't let jealous or cynical people convince you that you don't feel the way you feel - just go with it!

My bf told me he loved me the morning after we met! And hasn't stopped saying it since :love:

Although I did laugh in his face when he said it:smile:

Well, who believes it after you've only known each other for less than 24 hours?!

Maybe love at first sight really does exist- well I hope so :love:
There is no set time for when it's right to fall in love with someone. Some people wait years. In my case, given my situation, we said it before we got together.
My husband and I said "I love you" to each other after three weeks.. and obviously we're now married!! And still very happy. So I don't think that it's too soon - I think that it shows that you've really clicked with each other.
It's different for everyone - I didn't say it to my boyfriend til after about 7 months..! it's not that we didn't click but I just wanted to make sure I really did love him.
I've never said 'I love you' to someone until I was certain that I loved them. With me, that's taken anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months.
