Say, “I love you.” When the two of you are alone and the moment feels right, muster up the confidence to tell her, “I love you.” Look her in the eye, smile, and tell her, “I love you.” The timing doesn't need to be perfect and the moment doesn't have to be accompanied by a grand gesture, it just needs to be genuine.
Either partner can say “I love you” first. If you're feeling it and want your partner to know, it's OK to be the one who takes the plunge. In 2011, a study on relationship commitment among college students found most of them believed women generally say “I love you” first.
While men tended to consider confessions of love acceptable after about a month or so, women tended to say it was better to wait 2 to 3 months or so. Confessions of love generally inspired feelings of happiness, but men felt more positive about confessions that happened before the relationship became sexual.
When you love a girl, sometimes it is best just to tell her, even if you are not sure if the feeling is mutual. Gain the courage to express your feelings by building a strong relationship and keeping communication open and respectful. Love may be hard to say but it can easily be expressed.
According to one survey, men take an average of 88 days to tell a partner "I love you," compared to a woman's 134. Moreover, 39 percent of men say "I love you" within the first month of dating someone, compared to just 23 percent of women. Personality differences also cause people to fall in love at different paces.
In fact, researchers found that men thought about confessing love six weeks earlier, on average, than women. The general consensus among studies on love is that men fall in love faster than women.
Either way, here are a few ways to say “I love you” to your bae to help you express your feelings. You're the light of my life. I love you more than coffee, and that's saying a lot. I'm head over heels for you.
The question of when to say “I love you” in a relationship is a contentious one. In the many conversations I've had on the topic, the consensus seems to be that three months in is the sweet spot.
How do you know if a girl loves you without telling you?
You should remember how she acts around you. The girl who is in love would not interrupt you, talk only about herself, or ignore what you are saying. If she is truly in love with you, she will be a very attentive listener and pay close attention to your words.
“If she's nodding and smiling, but not really contributing to the conversation, she's just being polite,” says Tessina. “If she's leaning back and not really engaging you, she's just being polite. If she's glancing around, she's just being polite.”
