Poppsie answered Friday May 20 2005, 11:52 am: Theres not a rule that says you must say i 'i love you' at a certain time. So its up to you when your say it, or when the time is right. You should say it when you feel is the right moment but that moment is up to you becuase it should be when you feel that you love the person. You shouldnt b worried if you dont hear i love you because your girlfriend might also be not sure about when to say 'i love you' just like you are. I would just not worry abotu it and only say the 'i love you' saying when you feel that its true and when your comftable about it. Just dont worry about ti will probally come natural to you. Hope this helped !!! [ Poppsie's advice column | Ask Poppsie A Question ]
FunnyCide answered Friday May 20 2005, 10:57 am: It is acceptable to say "I love you" as soon as you feel it. If you don't love her, don't say it. If you're wondering (worrying) because your girlfriend hasn't said "I love you", it's probably because she wants you to make the first move. I know that I was scared to say it first, and she probably is too. Just whenever you're talking to her, and you're about to hang up the phone, or leave your computer, or part ways in person, just say something like "Alright, see you later, I love you". Kinda just throw it in there. She'll probably be shocked (and relieved!) and say it right back to you. Now, I wouldn't recommend dating a girl for like, two weeks, then throw that in her face. That's TOO SOON. She's going to think that you're just wanting something out of it (probably thinking that you want to have sex, nothing more - when that's probably not true at all). You have to wait, build the relationship, grow together as friends, as more than friends. Be completely comfortable around each other so that you can talk without being afraid. Only when you can do these things is it appropriate to say "I love you". Don't be shy, though. If your relationship meets the above recommended qualities, don't hesitate to say "I love you"! It's worse not to say it when the time is right than to say it when the time is all wrong.

dqlovesu answered Friday May 20 2005, 9:52 am: i love you.. the words everyone fears and worries about.. there is no acceptible time to say i love you.. you just know when and where and why.. once you feel it.. It can never be too soon to say it either.. as the saying goes.. "It takes a minute to have a crush on someone...an hour to like someone... And a day to love someone... But it takes a lifetime to forget someone".. if u dont hear i love you and you been together for awhile.. dont stress.. some people are afraid to show those feelings to someone.. and for others it takes a lot longer to love.. if you love her.. then tell her and dont wait two minutes.. just run over to wherever she is.. and tell her right now.. and if she doesnt love you.. give her time.. she will eventually say it if u guys were meant to be.. i hope this helps.. take care.. and good luck [ dqlovesu's advice column | Ask dqlovesu A Question ]

i think you should only say it when you mean it. for instance an infactuation with appearnace could be considered love, like i love the way you look
if you love someone are you in love with that person ? well if you are and you want to let the person know how you feel i say go for it
there isnt any timescale on how long or how little if you are sure that what you are feeling is love not lust or based on physical appearance
