I'd say about two weeks. I'm stingy with the first ILY. After that, it's all the time. But, barring zombie attacks, which obviously speed things up, I'd say about two solid weeks.

Disgusting, yes.

Hmm... Zombie attacks and money make people love you? Good to know.

You know... for research.

I have no answer to that...it really just varies. I am here to laugh at Prof E though! lol!
ianrose
ianrose on Feb 04 '08 at 11:27pm
Zombie attacks don't make people love you ... they make people pretend to love you so that they don't die (and so on) alone.

Holy crap, two weeks? What's wrong with you people?

A couple of months, at least.

Second question: Is the first "I love you" accompanied by a heart shape box of chocolates, flowers or a plush animal of some adorable variety?

Generally the best answer is to leave it at least a month, even if you do have the feelings. People are freaked out easily.

That said, not the approach I took - which was what worked best for me.

Yeeea. 2 weeks is a little middle school-esque.

you say it, dear people, when you FEEL it.
there isn't a time constraint on that it could take weeks or months or minutes, even. it could take years.

I've never actually said it. Because I've never actually felt it.

What's love got to do with it? What's love but a second hand emotion?

are you confident in the I love you return?

because if you don't get that return, that's a pretty big matzo ball hanging out there.

Well, it probably makes a difference if you were friends for a long time first or if you just started dating right after you met.
ianrose
ianrose on Feb 04 '08 at 11:48pm
Nowhere. Nowhere.

I said I love you to Jeffrey like less than an hour that we started dating and I actually meant it. It was the greatest feeling in world to sincerely say it to someone for the first time.

Now here I am 14 months and 1 week later.
3 days later
