My boyfriend and I have been going out for 9 months now and he said he loves me..How long do you have to be going out to know if you love someone. Or is it not time constrained??
Vikki27 answered Friday July 7 2006, 2:03 pm: To be honest, time really doesn't have much to do with it.
My boyfriend and I had been going out with each other for just over a month when he told me he loved me and it really took me by surprise, because nobody had ever said it to me before (other than obviously family!). I waited a month before I said it back, because I was worried he didn't mean it and I didn't want to say it back without knowing for sure I did. But I realise now that I loved him long before we started going out and over 3 years later, we're still together.
However, I tend to be suspicious of anyone who confesses to be in love within the first couple of months, when you are still going through that 'Honeymoon Period'. As you have been going out for 9 months, I reckon there's a very good chance he means it. Lucky you! Now all you need to do is work out how you feel about him and if you are ready to say it back.
I would warn you though that you shouldn't feel pressured to say it back. If you know you don't love him, don't say it but if you know you do, shout it from the rooftops and be very happy together! [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

You'll know when you love him to, it seriously is a gut feeling. like when you know you can be completely comfortable in front of them. I dont know if you've ever read the quote like saying something like wanting a boy you could go to in sweatpants, makeup running, hair a mess or something like that and he says he loves you. I think really thats how its gotta be, be able to wear no make up, a old t-shirt & sweats & your hair just dryed from being wet. Completely natural, and he still thinks your beautiful.
As for you knowing when you love him. Its def. not if your questioning yourself about it. I mean you probably REALLY like him, but you'll know when you love him.
Aw! Well hopefully that helped! & i hope your in love&hearts :] [ BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx's advice column | Ask BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx A Question ]

I have been going out with my boyfriend for 2 months and i knew after half the first month i knew i loved him so no there is no time to start loving him..only when you feel attraction and safe and you have fun with him. good luck!

merecedesxlove answered Thursday July 6 2006, 4:19 pm: Umm theres no specific time that you have to be going out iwth someone to love them.You ould be going out with them for 2 years and not love them or you could br going out for 2 months and love them.It all depends.Some people could say they love you and not really mean it or they dont really know how to use the word love in some cases.It all depends on how you feel for each other.Trust you would know if you loved someone.
xosweetiepiexo answered Thursday July 6 2006, 10:13 am: when you love someone, you just know, there's no second guessing it. Love involves two people, and it has a very deep meaning.
Since you guys have been going out for 9 months, i would think that you two love each other, otherwise why would you have stayed with him for so long right?. Plus, you are the only one who knows if you love a person, no one else can tell you that you do love him, or that you don't, only you know what you really feel.
hope i helped =] [ xosweetiepiexo's advice column | Ask xosweetiepiexo A Question ]
