I'm going to say...March?
​LOL. It's always cold in March. How about a nice Autumn month like November? ...it's all peachy sweet with a Turkey included and stuff. :p

Well, seriously! There´re too many ways to "say" it NOT verbally.

"I love you" is said by the way we look at the loved one.

"I love you" is said by the way we chat, our voices are changed and our boy speaks volumes.

"I love you" is said by too many deeds confirming us (and the other) we feel we´re in love and that is more than a like.

Of course, there´re too many chances to "feel" groupingly there´s no real need to verbalize it and, as far as I know, it walks alone to say: I love you.

:p

when the "newness" of the relationship has worn off a little bit...and you have waited long enough to determine that the feeling is something other than hormones.

For me, it was at the end of the first day we met in person. That felt right. Prior to this we had worked on our spiritual and emotional(?) foundation over the phone etc for 100 days. We talked about anything and everything - the silly, the godly, the mundane, the exciting, the easy and the challenging things, our interests, families, lives in general. We prayed for each other and challenged and encouraged each other. It was all very new and exciting, but saying, "I love you" didn't feel forced or weird, it came naturally.

Sometimes people are friends and in time one or both may feel more, so it can take time. I've never been a mushy fairy tale believing person, so I never expected anyone to be dumb struck in love with me that they'd say it right away. I agree with Cat Hearder, many people think that topsy turvey feeling is love, when it's hormones.

It came naturally for me too. The love that I have for my wife came from the Lord. I am sure that is true for you as well. We are both two blessed men for God providing the women of our heart's desire. For me personally, this is no longer a dating site as I have found, with the grace of God, what I was searching for.

I'm really happy for you, brother!
Only 20 days until I see my lady love again! 2+ months is a looong wait.

Zero this is sad. I mean this when I say I love you as a brother in Christ and not to worry I cleared this with tourist who is fine with me saying this to you as he knows when I say these things I mean it.

For this thread that is when you say I love you when you really mean it. I only say it when I mean it and I can love Zero as a brother in Christ. He is a good man and would make someone a fine husband some day. He can also be romantic as I have read some of his poetry. Ladies take note... and yes, I know it is not a dating site.

School holidays's idea! Certainly not ours!

Also, you might be interested to hear that 100 days (almost 3 and half months) passed between the time we became official and the day we met in person. We got to know each other really well (spiritually and emotionally) prior to her visiting my city, but dang, the wait almost killed us! :D

Don't know if anyone posted this. Say I love you when your heart is strong enough to withstand the sentiments not being returned. Say it when you believe there is a mutual feeling, but let it be your love that is important, not the validation. Well, it's just my opinion.

I thought that the 100-day wait was going to be the only long wait. Seems like I was wrong. :p

Anyway, the next time you need to meet her send me a ticket to her school. "Grizzly runs amok in school. Government orders closure for 2 weeks." :rolleyes:

Back to topic - nw2u, I like your point. We must either be strong enough to handle a rejection or be sure that the feeling is mutual.

Blond wipes away tears mourning the loss of kittens killed for fur....Fine if no one else will stand for them I will as I love the feline four legged furies. They have wrapped themselves around my heart sorry the rest of you can't stand them..... Believe me I can take a joke about them but there will be no kitten fur slippers or purses under my Christmas tree this year or any year. They cats/kittens will be the ones playing with the ornaments knocking them off the tree to roll and play with on the floor....

Carry on kitten killers don't let me stop you.... that is all Blond out.
