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.

Trust your feelings, but let the relationship grow a bit before saying those three big words❤️

Is this too soon to say “I love you” ?
When my husband and I were seeing each other but not in a relationship, he told me he was falling in love with me. I was very freaked out at first and definitely thought it was too soon! I didn’t say it back for months. But somehow I managed to keep dating him and eventually we became a relatio
