I'm 16 and I've been dating the most amazing girl for about a month now. We both feel just as strong towards eachother, but we don't know when it would be right to say "I love you". lol Usually we just say "I like you", but those words don't even come close to how I actually feel about her. So, when is alright to say "I love you"?

Those words are very powerful and deep, and can evoke alot of hidden feelings that neither of you knew existed.  They can be a very good step towards a deeper relationship, but at the same time, they can be a factor that can pull you apart.  You have to know the right time to say them, and know that, honestly, there is no rush to say them, and sometimes actions speek louder than words if those words are just not ready to be said. You have to ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT FOR SURE before you say it. Don't be afraid of a little romance though.  Buy her a rose, call her randomly during the day just to see how she is feeling, treat her to a nice dinner, invite her over and have a candlelit pick-nick in your back yard, courtesy of your cooking (Granted you have some culinary abilities.)  Those kind of things are almost always appreciated and can mean a lot when you put your heart into the planning.  \n\nHope this helps,\nRespectfully, \nAndrew V.

That depend on the age of the man. A man of seventeen saying I love you tranlates into "when do we have sex?"\n A man of say 45 who says I love you, generally means it, although it can tranlate into "do you still love me?"

Because you have been friends for so long, he probably loved you before you started dating.\n\nIf you don't want to tell him you could say:  "I feel really strongly about you and I am so happy right now,  I just don't want to say I love you quite yet."\n\nI was in love with my husband before we ever kissed.  It worked out.

hey hun... i think saying i love you should be said when the person really loves u. ur friend gt her guy to say it in  6 weeeks.. i am sure he has said it loads of times after that.. but when ur boyfriend actually says it to u it would mean a whole lot more than it wld mean whenhe says it when u want him to. you need to do anything to make him say it. you just wait till hez comfortable enuf to say it. at least he is not mis-using the word love.

Get him to define "I love you",\n\nnot everyone that say I love you means it\n\nnot every I love you means what you think it means\n\nYou might be speaking a different language using the same words so don't fall for it sister

no... ur kinda young... wait till ya get older, its so easy to say ur in love with some guy at ur age, when really its probably an illusion, u probably think im wrong, but ur probably in denial, so basically its no ok, ur way to young.

Nothing special as my hubby and I don't believe we need a special day to show our love to one another. Or a commericial reason to buy something. It is actually our rule to not buy flowers during the months of Feb and May as they jump the price so much as to make it ridiculous..Why does everyone have to have a special day to say I Love You! Should not this be done daily in a relationship? This is a day to make those with no partner feel alone and I think it is so sad to see so many feel like that because so many fall for commericial bulllll.

"Love" after 2 weeks?  No way can love develop that quick.  \n\nWhen he tells you that, you can reply "thank you" or "I have feelings for you too".

try talking to him again, on how he feels about love. ask him when he think its a good time for a couple to say those words. \n\ni know how your feeling, I've been their. with the boyfriend i am with now. i wasn't for sure when to tell him i loved him too. we live in different countries so he wasn't sure if we would even work. \n\nits been a year now and where stronger then ever, even going to move in together. the moment i told him i loved it was about last fall or winter. he eventually saw how great and wonderful of a person i was and with him. he couldn't help but say those words back to me. \n\nyou pretty much just have to guess when to say it. you can't ignore your feelings, no matter if they get hurt or not. if you love him, tell him and then tell him why you love him. show him how you make him feel, by your words. \n\nif he can't appreciated that, then he's a loser lol. you've been together long enough to start talking about love. if you were to tell me you just been together for a week or two, then i would say no and wait more.

the best thing to do is sum up all the courage and see how she feels for you, if she feels the same way, what's wrong with telling her you love her? if you really love her and she likes/loves you back, let her know and then you can have a great relationship. if not, then at least you told her.

I have been successful, but I've waited until I felt really right.  There is a differnce between LOVE and INFATUATION.  You might have said "I love you" to a guy, when really you were just still in the infatuation stage.  If you have been with your current boyfriend for almost 2 years, I think it is time for you to say it.  He might just be waiting for you to say it first.  Maybe he feels the same way as you do about saying I love you.  Either say it, or actually TALK to him about it.  Be like "I really feel like I love you, but I don't want to say it and make you uncomfortable.  How do you feel about it?"  Hope this works!

Do you love him?  If you do, you shouldn't have a problem saying it back unless you're harbouring intimacy issues.  If you don't love him, you need to tell him that.  He deserves to be loved, or at the very least he deserves the truth!\n\nIf you do love him, perhaps you need to look within and discover why it is you have trouble expressing your feelings.  Has somebody hurt you?  What was your parents' relationship like?

Lexie( cute name)\n\nLexie u said that u  really LOVE him, but he LIKES u\n\nand that u he's an amazing, trustworthy all around  great guy( I can understand why u love if he's all that) but since u and he have been friends forever then u can say it in a friendly way 1st to see how he reacts. If he says it back in return, then theres ur opening.\n\nAsk him how he really feels about u after all these yrs ask him if he loves u in a friendly friendship way or in a girlfriend way? \n\nAnd base it on that.

I understand what you are saying to an extent. I like to say, "I love you," but I don't want it to be an automatic response, either. I don't want to say I love you, just because he said it. When I say it, I want to say it because I mean it and it doesn't have to be prompted!\n\nI don't know if that's your case or not.\n\nIf it is, just find ways of saying I love you first that are comfortable for you, such as writing notes, saying it when you wake up in the morning, or just before going to bed at night... Plan how you are going to say it, if that makes you comfortable (like the reasons you would give, if you want to say more than just I love you) or just make it spontaneous - say it before you lose the nerve!\n\nIf responding with "I love you, too," doesn't suit you - then what you need to do is find some way of saying "I love you" that makes you comfortable.\n\nBut, YES, it is important to say it, because it makes the other person feel good. If you really love him, isn't this important to you? Sure, I know what you're thinking: they should know it already, right?  Consider this: if your boyfriend thought you were beautiful, intelligent, wonderful, whatever nice thing you can think of - wouldn't it feel better to hear it than to just assume he thinks that because you are dating?\n\nLook, it's the *easiest* way in the world to make your partner happy, because it just requires you to say three little words... Think about making the effort for it.... It's not just important to him, but I think it's important to find a way of expressing your feelings, too. Maybe you could try keeping a private diary for a little while, so that you can get used to the idea of expressing your feelings? If you're just expressing it to a diary, then you can say whatever you wish - no judgments - and it's preparation for opening yourself up emotionally to a real person.\n\nI hope you find something that works for you!

I agree with what the others said earlier, it dosnt matter how u say it as long as u mean it.\n\nBut your question was, which is more.  So i would have to say "  love you till infinity".  You cant beat infinity, it is huge and never ending! So infinity would be more.  But as the others pointed out earlier, its not how u say it that counts, its if u really mean it deep down in your heart.\n\nBut sometimes when u love someone soooo much u just want to let them know exactly how much u really do love them.  So thats when u could say " i love u till infinity!" (so they understand exactly how much u really do love them!)

I have gone through the same problem as you, my boyfriend sometimes sweet talks to me and other times he doesn't, but i'm the same to him. In this way i feel that when we do tell each other that we love each other it is always special. I don't know but it makes the relationship more exciting. I just love my boyfriend and he loves me, sometimes we don't need to say "I love you"  to now that we love each other, just by the looking into our eyes, or the things that we do for each other, we know that we do. You should talk to your boyfriend and tell him exactly how you feel.  Good luck!
