What length of time is appropriate to say "I love you"? Is one week too soon if you feel it?

Their isn't an appropriate time length on love. If you feel it then you feel it, and that all their is to it. Although if you do say it, you have to be ready for whatever she is going to say. Remember their isn't a time length so she might not be ready. So don't get hurt or anything like that if she doesn't say it back. You also don't want to scare her off, so make sure you know what your doing. Good luck!

When it feels right.  This is not something people online can answer for you.  You have to make sure you are sure.  That can be as soon as 6 months but as long as 3 years or more.  Good luck!

If he loves you he will wait for you :) 7 years can feel like a day to one who is in love! personally I absolutely would :) no biggie.

If you're asking for a way to say that without hurting her, unfortunately there isn't one. Do it like pulling a band-aid. Anything you tell her will break her heart. Say it soon, so you aren't leading her on, and be ready for the question "Why not?", because it usually comes up. If you don't have a reason why not, are you sure it isn't worth a shot? Good luck with that, it's a hard situation for a nice guy to find himself in.\n\nIf you're not such a nice guy, just ask her if she can wait for six weeks because you're having a "flare-up". That'll do it!

YES!!!\nI don't want to be the barer of bad news but you probably don't really love her. Real love takes time to develop. That being said two days is way too fast to tell someone you love them. You probably scared her away. Next time wait till she tells you that then at least you are only reaffirming her feelings.\nThe best thing to do to try to work things out again is to tell her that you said that because you thought that she wanted to hear it. Or you were mistaken about your feelings because of the history between you two overwhelmed you at first. Then invite her out for drinks or something AS FRIENDS ONLY. Work on your friendship and maybe it will have another chance to blossom. But even if it doesn't you can never have enough good friends.

if you really love him, just say it, it might be hard to start but when you say the first word, you won`t be able to stop, besides it feels good, and he will feel good as well. good luck!! make sure you say it not over the phone;)

theres no right time as in weeks, months or wotever. It's when you feel right! A good tip though, and trust me on this one-the longer you wait the better it wil be. If he's really interested time isnt important. it's good not to plan these things as it will come natrually!

Looks like you already did. \n\nNow that you realized you know "how" to say it, think on this question: to whom should I say "I love you" and why?\n\nand eventually you will think:\n\nwhy did I say I love you to that idiot? Was that such a good idea to ask for advice from those blokes in yahoo?

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!

Time's been going just right for me lately...a week feels like a week, and I'm not trying to rush it or slow it down. I'm just enjoying it while it lasts because it won't. Life either goes by too fast or too slow, so when it finally balances out for a quick second, ENJOY IT.

Hi,\nhen I wanted to tell my bf the first time how I felt, It has to be the right moment, my moment was walking through a fair holding hands and then I just looked at him and it came clear this was the time to tell him, so all I said was, 'you know what...I love you'\nand then it was just fine after that, he picked me up in his arms and twirled me and then said I love you too.\nIt was great, but like I said it has to be the right time.\njust say it like you mean it, ok?\nGood luck! (^_^)\n\nCowgirl In Need~

I love you. That took about 1.7 seconds. But he just won't say it, huh. He may say it tomorrow or he may never say it, that isn't exactly the strongest sign that he honestly loves you. There are many factors at work and it will be up to you to muddle your way through it all. Let me see if I can help you do that.\n\nYou will find as you age that Love will take on many faces. \n\nAt times, Love will make you feel like the happiest girl in the world. You will be so filled with It that Love will spill over and get on everyone around you. The whole mood of a room will change when you walk through the door.\n\nOther times, It will take your heart and stomp it into the ground. Just when you think it is done, it will turn and spit on you.\n\nLove will be the thing that defines different periods of your life. Love is better as a group activity but that doesn't mean you can't be alone in your feelings of Love also.\n\nWhat you have to look at here is your boyfriends comfortable zone. In some families the word love is used in everyday language. The children and the parents are quick to assure each other of Its existance. \n\nIn other families, It is said only at times when someone feels a strong need to assure another that they do indeed feel love for them.\n\nThen there are those families where speaking the Word is a bit uncomfortable and is almost or totally absent from their interactions. So...\n\nWhich of these fits your boyfriend's experience. Is the word so common to him that he might find it easy to say even if he feels only a little bit of it towards you? Is he someone that understands his feelings enough to say it only if he is sure of it? Or could he feel an overwhelming Love for you but still not vocalize it? \n\nHere is the defination of "what love is" as given in the Bible. It's not a definition of being in love. It gives a definition that defines what will be present if love is present. Even if the word Love is never said, this is how you will recocnize it.\n\n"Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,  \nit does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n\nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails... So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love."\n\nDon't try to force the Word from him. Don't think that hearing him say the Word is the definitive event that proves It's existance. Actions speak so much louder than words ever will. Instead, look for the signs of Love. Now you know what those signs are.

hi girl,\n  well for me it does not matter on how many times you say i llove you to him. the best way to capture his heart is to show him that you really loved him like that you cared for him, understand his weaknesses and loving him as what he is. remember that action speaks louder than words. if u let the person feel how much u loved him then he would certainly say that u reallly love him.....thanks...hope u like it.

Well if the guy is your friend (real friend) ...either if he loves you that way or not ( bf/gf) ....he will still respect you and talk to you ... he might ned time or feel unconftable for the frist 2 weeks but he will get over it if hes not interested...\n\nThe best thing tell him alone ...so no one else can laugh or say stupid stuff ( your friends can be your friends but sometimes they lack brain cells in situations likes theses)\nTell the guy you like him and if he doesnt feel the same way as you its fine, that you dont want the fact that your feelings might hurt the friendship you all have ...that you will survive if hes not interested...that you will not try to make him unconftable...or stalk him ...but if the feeling and similar...it would make you happy...
