Ok You're the Love Dr. 💯 Tell me: When/How soon is it appropriate to say (I love you) ? 🤯
She has to say it first or I will never ever tell her, never!!!
Dr Love here, telling all you cats and kittens out then to profess your love whenever you feel it in your heart! However, 'I love you' is a powerful phrase, so it needs to be built up to - show you care, give them affectionate acts, playfully tell them how much you mean to them - let your eyes show them how much you love them, and when you've given your actions time to breathe and its clear they are liking them... tell them you think you love them :)
It is appropriate when you feel it. But it might not yet be the right time and place. In general I would say you can tell it when should have already an established basis of trust and attachment. But you cannot know basically as there is no telepathic mind reading. So it always comes with a risc. Be prepared to confront the other person with this when they are not yet ready for this. In general I assume it typically takes some weeks or months until you can assume your emotional basis is ready for this. But it also depends strongly upon your personality. Also there are attachments that are based on mutual trust, liking and understanding without big love. This type of relationship is not a minor thing. It is also worth being kept and cared for. Also there is a love that just exists based on physical attractions. This is not just the friends with benefits-thing. You should know what type of love you got. It is up to you to talk with your friend about it. More than half of a working good relationship is good communication with your partner or maybe future partner as well.
Well back when I was in love med school I learned that this is not an exact science, the truth is that you should say it when you feel it, with the caveat that you have to be ready for the possibility that the recipient of your love isn't ready to reciprocate - it's actually pretty uncommon that two people love each other on identical levels, especially early on
I honestly have no idea. I actually doubt there's any specific thing that should happen or amount of time that should pass first, you just have to play it by ear. Of course, if you say it within like 3 days it may scare the other person away.. I think people are easily weirded out by people saying "I love you" too soon, I guess because a lot of people are desperate. Also, you should probably only say it when you feel like the other person is ready to say it too, because otherwise it makes things awkward if they can't respond with an "I love you too." But I wish "I love you" didn't have to be so political. I wish you could just say it when you feel it.
