When did you say "I love you" for the first time?

[lunelys907]

I feel like I want to say it to my Daddy but feel it might be too soon. I know everyone is different but I wanted to hear when others said it.

[Foxcatcher]

I don't.

 

They might say it to me, but that's her desire to do so.

3 weeks for my current relationship!

 

Although it was fast, 3 months later and things couldn't be better.❤

I think we were together 3 months. I also told him there wasn't any pressure to say it back, that I just wanted express my own feelings. I think it took him about a month longer.

It was 2 months into our relationship I think? 2 or 3. It was after we had sex and Daddy said it first. Super romantic and cute! Edited January 26, 2018 by neko

there is no rule as to when to say it but generally you shouldn't say it until you really know someone and actually feel that you love them and are being loved back.

in my last relationship that took us 11 months

I've never yet been comfortable enough in a relationship to say it. 

 

In as far as my experience goes, I think when a person is 'ready' to say it varies a lot - on the intensity of the relationship, and what each person is ready for. I know of one couple in particular (who are now engaged) and have never said it yet to each other (because it doesn't even need to be said - according to my friend).

i knew i loved Him very early on, but decided to wait until He said it first. He made a point of talking to me about it, saying He had to be absolutely sure before He said it. It was more than a word to Him, as it is to me. So after a few weeks, He told me He loved me. i wasn't sure i had heard Him right, so said "sorry?". He said it again, and i crumbled and said it back to Him.

I knew he already felt it and wanted to say it to me, but last year I was going through a lot and wasn't ready, so he waited for me to say it first. I said it in October, we had been seeing each other for about 8 months at this point but weren't exactly a couple then.

 

I feel there's no right time to say it, it depends entirely on how comfortable you two feel toghether.

It took me 8 months this time, but my ex told me he loved me when we had been together for a week and it felt right.

When you're ready, you'll know.

My Daddy said it about 3 weeks after we started talking. He didn't say "I love you" instead he said "I <3 you" and asked if I "<3" him back and I said I did and that I didn't think I would so quickly, but I did. Now it's 8 months later and each day I love him more and more.

[star-strucky]

My daddy has been hurt in the past and has been reluctant to use that word because of how it's been used in his previous relationships...

I was ready to say it around month six but wanted to wait until he was comfortable enough to hear it. He said it first around month 7 or 8. But now we are celebrating our anniversary on Monday and we say it all the time!! There's no set time you're supposed to say the big three words, just do what feels right Good luck!

[Guest Arc]

I think we were together for maybe four months. I was sick and feeling super low mentally. He told me it'll be okay because be loves me and will always be there. I said it back the next day.

My daddy said it too me first on accident before we were even official lol it just kind of slipped out and he felt really bad about it. About 3 months into our relationship, we went to the beach in the early morning to see the sunrise (we were on the east coast) and he said it to me when we were in the water it was amazing and the most romantic experience of my life.

When it feels right

[LittleKitten13]

We were friends for awhile before we started dating, and said I love you to each other platonically.  It wasn't too much of a shift when we started dating.

[lunelys907]

Thank you all for the responses. I like reading all the differences in peoples timing.

This is a little different, since my Daddy and I are non-romantical (Dunno if that's a word), but he's one of my best friends and I've always had deep love for all my closest friends but I still felt a little awkward with wanting to tell him that. On New Year's Eve, at this point we had been friends for a few months, I was really drunk and messaging him and I told that I love him, but obviously as a friend. I believe that friendship love is the best kind and I'll always stand by that. He wasn't my Daddy back then but it definitely makes me feel comfortable now to be able to say it, now that he's officially my Daddy I'm so awkward with human interaction so it's nice to feel comfortable with something so important to me.
