CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

With my ex-girlfriend it took me 8 months. She was literally dying to hear those words but I wasn't ready to say them yet. I guess I don't take saying those 3 magical words very lightly.
With my current girlfriend, well we've only been seeing each other for a month or so. I have no idea how long it's going to take but I'm in no rush. Sometimes I think she playfully fishes for it by saying, "You can't resist me. You love me." I just grin and say, "I'm getting there..."
When I say "I love you" to someone, it means I accept anything and everything about them, good and bad. That's a pretty heavy expectation in my book considering that some people don't even accept things about themselves, let alone of other people.
Just my thought.

We had known each other for about five months. It almost slipped out over the phone a couple times, at least on my part, but we wanted to wait until we met in person.

Well since we were in an LDR it was about five months after we met online, and about one or two days after we met in real life. I said "I think I love you" first and then somehow that just evolved into saying "I love you"

Two months but we both knew the other person felt that way maybe 3 weeks into the relationship. We're getting married in a little over a month

I was acually going to start this same topic today because I have been wondering myself.
I've been with my boyfriend for almost 3 months and we haven't said it, I don't know that I'm ready to yet either. I guess we've kinda hinted at it a little, he made a comment a while ago along the lines of 'but you love me anyway' or something like that after I called him weird for doing something and I responded with yes. That's the closest we've come though.

Awesome stories guys! Thanks for sharing 
My bf told me he loved me like, 2 nights ago and we've only officially been together for a little over a month (known each other for nearly 3 years now) and I was able to say it back and truthfully mean it.
It's just kind of weird for me to be on the other end of the spectrum. Every time I heard of a young couple being together only a month or so and already believing they're soulmates and saying their in love, I wondered how they could get that far that fast. I guess now I know lol.

we've been friends for sevenish years
he's been interested in me for 2 years... and very hard to explain but he's very very far from the type to hold back any feelings
he started telling me he loved me about a year or so ago, and regularly, and seriously meaning it
we became official a month ago, and i started truthfully answering a couple days after that
i was just kind of slow to come around for being together, i wanted to make sure i loved him before i did...
just the way i am.

That's awesome!good question
Probably with a good answer..
Though I just don't have one for you
"I just knew" is unfortunately the only way I can describe it. Of course I have this story to go along with it: I was still working my restoration job at that point, and I was talking with a co-worker. I was talking about Jordan. In mid-conversation she piped up "have you told this guy how much you love him?" and I said "I didn't tell you I loved him though.." and she responded "You didn't have to tell me, isn't it obvious?"
She was right. I had already figured out by this point that I did indeed love him, but when she said it out loud, I knew it was probably time to tell him if it was getting so obvious that -other- people knew

I know, you can't really say anything but "I just knew". There's no other way to describe it!
I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between love and supercharged infatuation

Me and my boyfriend knew each other for a few months before we started going out, and we didn't actually become a couple until we were both definitely in love. We told each other on the day we started going out

Almost the same story. The only difference is that my boyfriend and I had known each other for 2 years before we started going out. But we also told each other on the day we started going out

We both fell hard and fast, I guess. We had been dating for about two months, but we weren't an official couple yet. One night as we were walking in a forest with a full moon and lightning bugs glowing around us, I was dying to tell him, but I held back. I said I loved his hair, his smile, his sense of humor, but I was too afraid to say that I loved HIM. But then about a week later, he poured his heart out to me and said "I love you." the next day we were an official couple and have been for almost 2 years.

My bf told me he loved me four days after we started "dating". I waited a fair while (can't exactly remember how long >_>), because I wasn't totally certain, and I didn't want to say it until I meant it.

My boyfriend and I have known each other since we were in junior high, but we were never more than acquaintances (sp?) until around April of last year. We officially became a couple around June (no specific date, it just kinda "happened" as we grew closer ). Both of us loved the other for a looonnnggg time before telling each other on the night of December 10th. I had been waiting for him to voice it first, and I'm still so glad I did. I will never forget sitting across from him (at McDonald's, of all places, hehe) and hearing him utter those three precious words. Good, good memories!
