Nick said "I love you" a week after we met. I was shocked. He seemed needy.
"It's too soon to talk about love," I replied. I felt pressured.
In past relationships, I waited approximately six months to a year before saying "I love you." Building trust takes time.
Your thoughts?
yes there has to be a comfort level and on going affection for quite a while to make sure the chemistry is accurate,,i agree saying it too soon scares the other person and may cause a break off of the relationship,,so best to take it eay and enjoy life,,the right moment will come along in the future
So kind of like an impulse control thing? Not being able to control expressing things at appropriate times?
Yes. You get carried away in the heat of the moment and you engaged your mouth before consulting your brain. Yes impulse.
Yes, totally agree. There is no need to say anything like that when you are just getting to know each other and barely got a start on that just after a week. One must actually like someone first before even thinking about taking it to the next level.
IMO, way to soon! After one Week of having met. I agree with the needy assessment and not sure I could ever trust the person. Unstable comes to mind.
It's too soon for you but it wasnt for him. You have different backgrounds and experiences. It doesnt mean he is needy . And it doesnt obligate you to say anything.
"I love you" shouldn't mean "I think we need to be together forever"...
Exactly.
That sounds like love bombing to me. I had an ex that started talking about our future and if we were to be exclusive and about the future after just 1 date. It seemed bizarre then, but he was using it as a manipulative tool since he was a narc. Now I would be leery of any man that professed seriousness so soon.
You have to feel it to say it...there is no time limit...
I trusted the man I love very quickly so it was easy for me to say I love you in a short time...
