Saying "I love you" is overrated. SHOWING them you love them is better. I wait 'til they say it, then I say it back.

Sounds to me like hes pretty serious if he says hes always thinking about you and that statement to me means that he loves you. Tell him how you feel hunx

ANY time is a good time to say "I love you", if that's what you feel. And watch for their response (don't be too wrapped up in your own feelings).

it took me quiet awhile to feel comfortable saying i love you for the first time. i think for me, because its not something i say to my family, it was really hard for me to say. i dont think i have ever told my family i love them, so for me it was almost a foreign word. for my bfs family, they tell each other they love each other lots

it's always hard to put your feelings out there - but I think if that is what you feel it's best to tell.....life is short and bad things happen - so live in the moment

Some simply take a long time in making that distinction of being in love. You can't rush it. I think it's best to just let it happen naturally. Don't think about it. There'll come a time when it just pops outta your mouth. :)
After that, any old time is fine... as long as he reacted well to the first time you said it! lol

If you love him, say it. If he doesn't say it back, don't take it personal and give him the chance to eventually say it. Love is a splendid gift, there is nothing small about it.

You say it when you want to, when it feels right. 6 months isnt too soon. My bf said it to me after 3 days. I wanted to say it to him 10 minutes after I met him. And we both just said it last night. It's pretty bitchin'.

I think if you love someone you should let them know. Earlier on here Koolman said that showing someone you love them is better.. I agree that sometimes showing it means more then just saying the words, but to be honest it is nice to hear those three little words every now and again. They dont hurt thats for sure! lol

My bf said I love you first and it caught me by surprise because I had just been talking to my best friend a couple days earlier saying that I think I love him and asking her if I should say anything. We had been going out for about 7 months when he told me. Right after he said it I knew I wanted to say it back because I felt it. Maybe its the same situation... he could be thinking about it but is worried ur not. If he doesnt say it its not a big deal. Some guys are more reluctant at first just the same as some women.

Hope it all works out. Love is a splendid thing as Kevmar said and it's great when you find love that you can share with another person. Sounds sappy but its true!! lol

Good luck!

If you feel it say it...my bf said it after a month and a half. I didn't reply right away but it was mostly out of shock. He got nervous and started to feel rejected but he didn't have to because I did love him; I was just scared of moving too fast. I didn't want to make the mistakes I had with other guys. But he said it again and so I finally said it because I really did love him.

Say it if you really mean it. They can tell if you're just saying the words. When the warmth pours out of your heart, say it. Hopefully they'll show you their love and say it and mean it back.

Thanks for all your great comments and advice. I haven't said it yet but I will ( I may have to take a couple of glasses of wine first lol) and I know he does too because I can see it in his eyes. Maybe we're both being too cautious.

I was with my man only 3 weeks when we said it to each other, we made a big song and dance about it in a way both skitting around it without actually saying it like children until eventually i just said to him say it because i feel it too. There is no right time hun if you love someone you should say it life is too short and you never know what the future holds. good luck hun.

Update: I told him and he said it back!!! wooohoooooo!

I love you all LOL.
