When in a relationship should you say "I love you"?

Post by Martha »

I feel there's no time limit as to when you should say it. The heart knows what it wants. I do believe in love at first sight. However I also know that infactuation can come in especially when you have been longing for a deep connection with someone. Therefore keep focus on your feelings and how your partner is feeling. Always speak your genuine feelings but be ready for the response. Sometimes one partner will reach that level before the other. It doesn't mean they won't get there. So it's ok if you have and want to express it. This may even trigger your partner to see what they have is genuine. So say it! When in a relationship do you think you should say "I love you"?

Tell your partner that you love him/her when you mean it and you are willing to be committed. It is not really about the time, but whether you are certain about it emotionally or not.

No, there is no particular time to say it. just say it when you feel that love and when it is not impulsive or forced on you. It's a very strong word that shouldn't be used carelessly. It means a lot to tell someone that love him/her

Absolutely but I wouldn't say it right away though. It's best to wait a little bit to tell your significant other that you love them, I waited a little bit before I told this to my wife when we started dating back in 2008.

I wouldn't say it right off the bat, but as soon as i feel it, I'll tell my partner that I love them.

You will know it when the time is right.

Yes you should say it – otherwise the other person will think you might not love them anymore.

You should say it when it's there.

You'll know when you love someone and you'll know when they love you back.

Don't procrastinate. Show them your true feelings just incase the other doesn't agree. Get hurt then rather than later once you're truly invested into a relationship.

Not just once a year nor once a month nor once a week – EVERY DAY.

I agree.

I tell my wife I love her every day. She does the same. We also kiss in the morning and before bed at night.

Not just once every 24 hours – at least once every morning then once every afternoon then once every evening.
