How far into a relationship is it acceptable to say those three words

Strings

Been in a relationship for the past five months, girlfriend

little miss

It varies from person to person and relationship to relationship. I knew I loved my ex very early on, but that love grew so much over the three years we were together. I said it after 3 months and never regretted it, but I'd never said it before even though it was said to me as I just didn't feel it. I wouldn't be freaked out over this if I were you. But don't feel pressurised to say it back if you're not sure yet. But if you do feel it, do say it.. .

There is no right time, my gf said it before that, much before, scarily before! :P
If you do you do, if you don't you don't.

Eh, 5 months nine days and four hours!!!! Come on OP, whenever the time is right, it's right. There's no rulebook to this, just go with it. But just be honest with yourself, and your partner!

Myself & my bf said it after a couple of weeks & meant every bit of it!!

In fairness, there's a long history between us, so it was right for US!

That's the point, every couple is different. There is no right time to say it, just say it when you mean it.
Enough with mind games.
A week, a month, a year, whenever you're comfortable with it & whenever you mean it.

Your gf saying it after 5 months is not at all strange.
It's defo long enough for her to be able to guage her feelings for you.

plain and simple... if she said it to you and the first thing you thought was "oh f**k, what do i say" then you might wanna give it a second thought or clear your mind when she says it to you again... it's a very instinctive feeling so you'd know when to say it or not...

There is no perfect time, its right when its right.

It is too early for you (hell, you cant even mention 'I love you' in your post ) It wasnt too early for your gf. If youre not ready for whatever reason, dont say it just to please her, but make her feel wanted just the same. She might just be feeling a bit iffy having told you she loves you and not hearing it in return.

Do u think about her all the time, cant get her out of ur head and want to spend time with her and no other girl....??Does she treat you as a person and not an object and trust you??

The answer is yes to this,

lol some creative editing there OP!

Well as everyone else has stated, there are no rules, when it feels right for you, you just won't be able to hold it back, you'll just say it and... it'll feel good

Lol, class editing there mate. Why change it, even if it was a great change.

My boyfriend and I said it after about 8 weeks.

OP: as you can see others have different time spans before saying it.

I guess my advice is if you don't actually feel right saying it, then it isnt the right time.

Otherwise, indeed its just words. When it hits you will undertstand just how much more than words it can be.

tbh there comes a point in the relationship where you both know it, and don't need to say it. though saying it is good, nice and important, there's always a fear that the first time you say it there'll be a response like "me too........ *cough*" etc.

Well its different for everyone. With my first serious girlfriend we said it after about a year and to be honest I meant it at the time but knew she wasn't "the one" for want of a better word.

Next significant girlfriend I had we said it after two weeks meant it and are now married with two kids.
I suppose what I'm saying is that there is no wrong or right time to say these things it just happens and if it does and both parties mean it game on.
