Picture this. You’ve been dating a new guy for a few weeks. Things are going amazingly well and you can’t stop thinking about him. You connect on so many different levels and you just seem to get each other. He is exactly what you’ve been looking for in a man and, not only that, he exceeds your expectations.

In other words, you’re in love with him and you’re wondering if you should tell him exactly how you feel. But before you go saying “I love you,” there are a few things you should know about saying these three little words too soon and why it might be a good idea to hold your tongue for a while.

Saying “I love you” too early puts intense pressure on the relationship. Suddenly, you aren’t just dating anymore — you’re in love. It’s more serious and often times, more limiting.

    how do you know when it is too early. after I said hello, the next thing out of my mouth was “i love you”. he took me at my word and we have been involved every since. maybe if i hadn’t of said it so soon we may have had a smoother more dreamy road to where we are today. when i told him “i love you” i knew that he loved me. he didn’t have to tell me but he did.

    Women think things way before they say or do them. So when you do act on your thoughts at least give men the courtesy of having some time to catch up and process what has already been on your mind for weeks/months. Men get caught off guard a lot of the times but women expect an immediate response or reaction.
