is it too soon to say “I love you”?

r/

me M17 have been dating this girl F17 for almost a month now and i really care about her. It may sound stupid but i ask her sometimes how much she likes me out of 100, 100 being love, she says 98 i usually say 99 because im scared how she’ll react when i say 100. There was a time about a week ago where i wanted to say it while we were cuddling but i knew it was too soon. i feel like i love her and im willing to fight for her because i do. I js wanna know if its too soon to say it next week in her bday, because i know im going to her house and playing were not really strangers couple edition (which is a bday present) her friends say i should do it but idk if she will say it back or if it is too soon. what do you guys think?

    Man honestly do what you feel like doing, it does not matter as much as you might think

    My bf and I said “I love you” before we even got together… if you feel like the time is right, go for it!

    Someone saying it back or not is the risk you take with love, it’s scary but a big part of love is a willingness to be vulnerable and putting yourself out there, so do what feels right to you. If she’s not ready to say it back then that’s ok, love isn’t transactional, when you say it it needs to be because you feel it, not because you expect something back straight away. Though it sounds like you guys are already basically admitting it with the numbers things.

    Good luck dude!

    I guarantee you’re both just afraid to say it first

    I don’t think it’s too soon.

    My husband and I are high school sweethearts of 18 years. We both felt we loved each other after a few weeks, and about a month in we started saying “ I love you”.

    Honestly, if you’re worried about her reaction, just include a ‘99.9%’ option in the game for the ultimate safety net. That way, you can say it’s a ‘scientific approximation’!

    I think if her friends know, she knows. Go for it.

    This is going to sound like the opposite but bear with me. Sometimes in life you’re going to have some really s***** times, and maybe you don’t think you will make it through it. That could be internal or external but the thought is there. You beg your soul to get out of this mess, but you must pull yourself up, especially the internal. When I realized that, I also realized that everyone’s worst day probably felt roughly the same. The rich kid who wrecked Daddy’s car, the parent whose house burned down, the loss of your best friend, these are things that we can get over in time, but how we all felt in that moment is approximately probably the same.

    Now let’s flip it

    Right now love is to you probably something closer to you really enjoy this person, this person makes you feel special, this person makes you smile all the time, and you enjoy doing things with each other. For someone who has been in that game for a longer period of time, love has reached much further. This person was willing to put themselves in danger for me, this person was willing to have a child with me, this person held my hand when I had cancer. I imagine both of you feel about the same where the endorphins are concerned, but love is actually more than that. Love is a choice that we make, to do things when we don’t want to do them. Yeah it’s okay that you’d love her that hard, you go get it, and you keep that ball rolling as hard and fast as you can. You bring her coffee, you rub her feet, you make her a sandwich, and you make her feel special. Just wait and see what happens back. If nothing happens back, they don’t really love you, they want to, but it’s okay for some of us to be broken and need healing. It’s okay for some of us to be “unequally yoked,” but it is not advised because one of you will be carrying more of the burden than the other.

    There is no such thing as too early, if it is genuine, speak up!!

    Na say it, you won’t be together next year anyway, so it won’t matter. And then you’ll say it again to another girl who you won’t be within two years after that, so say it then. And then say it again when you’re about 22 and you might mean it then, but probably not yet, but say it anyway

    My boyfriend said it after our 2nd date, sometimes you just know. We’ve been together for over a year and live together for more than half a year

    Just be ready that she might not be ready to say it yet, because I myself wasn’t even tho we had instant connection

    You’re never going to know if she is going to say it back. That’s how life is. So you have to put yourself out there and give it your best shot. Hoping nothing but the best for you.
