Yes..when you love him but it tends to frighten them off a bit because they think they're expected to say it back to you.

Hi Abby,

You should put out a few feelers before you say the magic 3 words. jmo.

I wouldn't tell him anything to soon until you find out for sure of whether or not he has the very same kind of feelings for you.

Otherwise you may be making a complete fool of yourself if he doesn't feel the same.

Well, for most of us who never get to meet a living human being beyond the virtual world

I would say saying "I love you" can be in business like 7/11

Anytime you want, say it.

I love you Redex

Cal,

yes,that is a big reason why so many relationship have problems and sooner or later broke up....my Ex from Indonesia,with who I was together fore 13 years, did say it only one time and when she did not say it more in all these years,it build up in me,that she was cold and did not have feelings and when we got more serious problems,I was leaning on that opinion and it make me also cold and then convince me to broke up our relationship,what I then did also.

I think your "gut" will let you know if it is too soon or not.

If you haven't dated that long, it probably is.

However, don't play a game and withhold feelings (i.e. if he shows signs of awakening interest don't throw cold water on it...just don't overwhelm him with the waves of burgeoning affection).

Give love time to blossom like the flower it is.

I've never dated a man but according to PG Wodehouse a man in love looks like a sheep. So when he starts to look like a sheep it is probably safe to say it.

Some would say, that when a man gets married, the ring goes not on the finger, but through the nose. There's so much we don't know about just what is love, and whatever it is is burried under so much emotion, perhaps we should avoid using the term altogether. Just be in caring loyal relationships uncluttered by jive. "You are the best thing in my life, and allow me to be so happy being myself with you", for example. D.

It's beyond 'dating' .. It's when you are exclusive and you've arrived at that moment when no one else matters and the world outside doesn't exist for either of you.
