From experience, don’t say “we should see other people” at that time. It doesn’t end well.
-tlh, used to wear Magnums.
I knew I was in love about 3 weeks after our first date. I told him the next day.
I told my husband that I loved him after we’d been dating for a month and a half or so. And a few months after that, I knew that I wanted to marry him.
And I did.
There’s actually a dating coach out there that actually says this was a good example of how to respond to this. He’s firmly in the “Don’t let on that you like them too much” camp.
Then again, he also says the types of jokes Melon makes are perfect for picking up dates…
Just fyi, it’s worked for me.
I know it, it just isn’t right to say it yet. I knew it ages ago.
My current boyfriend waited until maybe 4-5 months into the relationship, on a night when I was so drunk I’d already puked a few times on the way home. (Long story.) He tucked me into bed - I was half crying because I was so miserable and I felt somewhat humiliated by my disgusting state (I get melodramatic when I’m drunk) - and for some reason he felt like this was the perfect time to tell me “I love you.” Hah. I said it back to him on the spot but I think he felt like it didn’t count because I was rather inebriated. :dubious: But we’ve said it enough times since then.
