​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
I concur it is also a Great month to get married especially on Thanksgiving Day......

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.
People get married that quickly in your country? It's kind of important to also get to know your loved one in person. Marriage is a serious commitment. Many things to think about, discuss and pray about together and individually. It's quite possible to enjoy each other very much and still need to do these things. But cheers for being part of our cheering squad. :) :)

Okay, I'll send you to her 'school'. Haha! Good luck.

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
You are right sometimes actions do speak louder than words.

Anytime between the third date and the restraining order is a good rule of thumb.:D

tourist-
The time to say "I love you" is when these words are written in your heart.

This is the best answer.

Anytime ;D

Nah, I'm a bit trigger happy with affection... when it comes to liking a girl... I think its best to restrain yourself until your absolutely sure your willing to make a long term commitment, such as marriage... or maybe that's too far? Either way, I think you should be in a sure standing about that person.

Just to correct myself.. I meant its good to restrain yourself about saying I love you, not affection in general.

Say it when you mean it.
My policy is this, but slightly more specific: Say it when you are 100% certain you mean it. Kind of along CatHerder's line of making sure you're actually speaking from LOVE and not INFATUATION.

(I've written very extensively on the difference between the two in this forum some time ago, and I don't have the inclination to do so now...but I'll throw out a couple of my thoughts in brief.)

I think the word "love" is too easily used, too easily abused, in our society today. Too many people don't know what LOVE really entails.

I have been involved with a fair number of women in my lifetime. Only two of them have I ever truly loved. Only two of them, did I ever say that word to.

But then the question becomes.. how do you know that you're 100% certain?

I could give some advice, but why would you accept advice off of someone who has failed more than once in that department.

The only success I had was over 20 years ago and with my athiest ex wife and someone who had mental health issues and had long term commitment issues. With both women it was similar situation, got to know each other over a short time, then went for a walk along the shore, resulting in holding hands, that is a good indication I think, just slip your hand in her hand as you walk, then we just smiled at each other, stopped looked into each others eyes and kissed, then I told her she was beautiful and I loved her.

After my Divorce and my body has now become hideous and repulsive to women, I ended up in same situation as TinTin, met a fantastic young lady in a Christian chat room, ended up calling each other every night and spent like 6+ hours just talking, we even watched TV together, it was fantastic! After a few months she said she would love to spend some physcial real time with me, so she drove down we did stuff, had lunch.

Came the time where I felt so right with her, it was fantastic, we had that eyes engaged look with a huge tension, as I stared into her eyes I told her how beautiful she was and I loved her, then she broke off and said "I have to go home now" and she departed, I never heard from her for weeks, then I got an Email saying she did not want to see me again and we were finished, no real explination as to why.

I have a number of other similar stories after that, but I do not want to come across as a complete and utter reject failure.

When you've practiced your performance enough times that you can hit all the high notes without your voice cracking. Because the best way to say I love you is through song.*

When your "Fruit of the Month" subscription is about to expire and you need someone to take over the payments for the next 12 months because you are a little short on funds.
