I was wondering from you ladies, how soon would it have to be for you to be freaked out by a guy saying "I love you"? I was thinking about this the other day. I don't know if it's just me but it seems like when i'm hanging out with my boyfriend, every time he does something cute in my head I just think it. I don't know if its from being in long-term relationships it's just kind of habit now? But its only been about 3 weeks. Granted, in 3 weeks weve not so much as even argued about anything, fought, or even had a misunderstanding. Its actually quite the opposite. After only 3 weeks we can already finish each others sentences lol Its actually kinda creepy how alike we are.

Well anyways, I can tell in his eyes he wants to say it and Ive caught him kinda slipping up then correcting himself by saying something like "I really like you a lot" or something along those lines. I'm just wondering if it would weird you guys out to hear it after only 3 weeks even if everything has been awesome? Ive always wondered about people's opinions on how long to wait before throwing the L word out there.

Some people seem destined for love, some take longer. Personally before dropping the L bomb, I would make sure that its been a solid month or so (or even longer) to really be able to say you know that person on a different level, etc.

My boyfriend and I waited four months. He said it first, and I think he wanted to wait until he could say it in person. Actually, even though it had been four months, I still really freaked out. (Mostly about whether or not I loved him and if I was lying when I did say it back; silly stuff). But then, I knew someone who had said "I love you" to their SO after only two weeks.

Since you say you guys are so alike, I wouldn't be suprised if he's having the same debate in his head. But, I agree with BalishBun, and you should wait a little longer (maybe get a little further away from your previous long term relationship?). Let us know how it turns out!

Happy Valentine's Day

I would say three weeks is a little to soon for most people to say "I LOVE YOU" and mean it...... give it few months and see what comes.
