How soon is too soon to say “I love you”?

The first time I said I love you to someone took me 6 months which needed up being a one sided love, but with my current boyfriend it took maybe a month before we both said I love you! Given we spent so much time in that first month together with a month before that of texting each other everyday!

But I heard of people saying it within the first hour of meeting someone or the first day and I was like woahhhh maybe that’s a bit too fast??? But truthfully I guess it depends on the situation and stuff… so how do you feel about it?? #GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #falling in love #fallinginlovewithyou #iloveyou

I don’t think there’s a universal “too soon.” It really depends on intention and consistency. Saying I love you should feel aligned with actions, not rushed or pressured.

A close-up illustration from Jinx manhwa shows Kim Dan's emotional face, with sweat and a pained expression, as he is embraced by Jaekyung. The image captures his internal struggle and sadness.
Please let them talk soon
My prediction moving forward is that Jaekyung will ask Kim Dan is he still wants to leave. With Kim Dan not feeling secure in this relationship because he doesn’t know how Jaekyung feels, he will say he’s still leaving. He probably still views his feelings as one-sided, bothersome, and pointless. H
