How soon can you drop the L-word on your girlfriend - is 2 weeks too soon?

How old are you? This sounds like junior high school romance.

Junior in college.

Have you ever been in love? I am not going to ask her for marriage......yet. This girl is AMAZING and I do believe she will someday be my wife. She's the one.

We hit it off amazingly well. Yes I am exuberant. I am not ashamed of it.

Its all good.

I am sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this. Some other posters have too.

I will wager that, even if you tell her you love her and she is happy about it, that in less than 3 months you will be on the message board talking about the b*tch who broke your heart and who won't give you a reason why.

Just GO FOR IT! Ignore the naysayers. I felt that way once. Just the same as you do now. And it worked out pretty pretty pretty good.

I would suggest you don't tell your girlfriend you l--- her unless you have a settled conviction that you would gladly marry her and be faithful to her alone for the rest of your life. I'm not sure 2 weeks allows enough shared life experiences to determine that. People can hide who they are for a good amount of time.

Go ahead and spend a lot of time with her; get to see her in many different situations and social settings. Ask questions to gauge her level of interest in you. Make sure she is seeing the real you, so if she falls in love, it's actually with you.

Enjoy!

Yes that is very logical, but did "logic" ever dictate to you when to tell a girl that you loved her?

I hope not.

The dude in the other thread banged a lesbian. Was that your gf?

How could you possibly even consider proposing to this woman before you've seen her mother's body?

You kids today lack foresight.

1 week wrote:

1 week for me and proposed 1 month later-still very happily married for 16 years and never any doubts. Sometimes love is, actually, quite easy.

YES!! I believe this to be true.

If only it could happen to more than 1/1000 people.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

If it's real, just relax and enjoy. Have fun.

Wait. You enjoy her company.

You don't know what love is.

Sometimes you just know when you meet the person. I did and even though we have only been dating 2 weeks, we have been spending every free minute together.

Just pointing out the obvious.

Get help.

Don't worry, bro. It gets worse.

Tell her via email

It was about 2 weeks in when I first said it. She just stared at me like I was insane for saying it so soon. But that was 10 years ago and we're still together (married now, of course), so I guess it all worked out!

of course, now she said it to me and I stare at her like she's insane. Do you know how long 10 years is?! If I had committed manslaughter, I'd be out by now. Instead I'm stuck married forever.

I kid, I kid... Mostly...

That, dont worry it gets worse post was for you. I

I hope there was some logic involved. Otherwise humans emulate their parents very well. Nut does not fall far from the tree and all.

Decent troll job.

But on the off chance this is real:

Don't rush it. You could very well scare her off. For me it was three or four months. Maybe start out telling her you're "in love" with her. If that goes well, saying "I love you" will come a lot easier down the road. That's how I did it and we're now married.

Man why did you doubt yourself? You called it right but then blew it on your next post.
