I'm just asking because my friend has been dating someone for 2 months now and already told her he loves her.
Personally, I've never said "I love you" to anybody that wasn't a family member. As a general rule, I feel that saying it before a year of dating would dilute the meaning of the word. Same concept goes with saying "I love you" too often (ie. every time you say goodbye) however I can totally understand people who think the opposite (that you should always say I love you when saying goodbye)
So how long were you dating your soul mate before saying "I love you?" If you're in the same boat as me and have never said it, what are your opinions?
EDIT: moments after posting this I realized I should have put it in the relationship advice subreddit. Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk! I'd still appreciate your feedback!
EDIT 2: Wow, so it seems a lot of you guys said "I love you" relatively soon in your relationships. This is pretty interesting to me. Thanks a lot for all the input guys, I really appreciate it!
