My boyfriend told me last night 'Im in love with you" but not "i love you". I think he said that he didn't mean he loves me but he's in love with me, what could that mean? I said Im in love with him back and the people i've told said it's too early. Is it? We're best friends, see each other every second, and I've sure felt it for a while now. Is 3 months too early?
"I'm in love with you" says more than "I love you".
He's completely into you.
He chose to say that cos "I love you" can also be perceived as more friendly. It sounds more casual. "I'm in love with you" is deeper, cos he's aware of that love for you.
You should say it if you have an enormous urge. There's no timeline for love. I held mine back for a hell of a long time. And one day I just whisper-blurted it out, and he heard it. LOL. and then I got scared lol >.>'

To say "I love you" is a mutual thing. If you love him, he loves you, than you say I love you. But he doesn't know how you feel so, he says "I'm in love with you" as an idea instead of a statement. And 3 months is not too early. I have had boyfriends say it before that, and I have actually told it to my fiancée three weeks after we met. Everyone is different. Every relationship is different. There is no too soon, but there can be a too late.
1.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. If you have only known each other for 3 months, then yes, I would say it's a bit too early. But if you knew each other really well prior to dating for a longer time, it wouldn't be too early.

It's not necessarily too early depending on the two people and the chemistry between those two people. You can make the case that saying "I'm in love with you" is more intense than just "I love you." But certainly if you say the first, you should also be able to say the second.
There is no set time on when to say it but it's hard to know someone completely in 3 months. I'm not sure you both are being truthful. The question you should ask yourself is do you care about his well being more than you care about you being happy being with him.

I don't think so. It depends on the person. I would think it isn't common, but if he means it, then it's never too early.
And I'm "in love with you" is much better than "I love you". He cares very deeply for you to the point that he doesn't want to be with anyone else and no one else is on his mind.
Aww... Good for you. :) -
No time limit really, unless it's like 3 weeks. The most important thing about the word love is endurance. True love can endure all kinds of obstacles and come out changed, but only for the better. If the two of you haven't gone through anything it could be he is falling in love. Love shows a process of undying progress.

I try to use less intense phrases such as " I'm crazy about you! " or " You make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside" I try to reserve the big L word for when it can be more believable and accurate. After a few months you really don't know everything about the person so how could you know you "Love" him. I think what your feeling is not per say love, but infatuation, lust, chemistry etc . just my opinion.
871 opinions shared on Relationships topic. If your heart says you love him, it's never too early... I don't mean when you just find him attractive, but if you'd really go through fire for him, you can say "I love you".
Be it after a month, two months or a year :-)382 opinions shared on Relationships topic. If both of you are at the same point feelingwise it's not too early.
There is no deadline or timeframe to falling in love.
If you feel it, that's it.
We said "I love you" somewhere at the 2 or 3 months mark.- Anonymous(30-35)
Do you guys know each other well enough to be in a relationship? If yes then no it's not too early
But there was this friend of mine who said she loved me and I accepted her the next morning and it turned out to b the worst and even our friendship got ruined
In short it depends -
it isn't too early to be in love. just don't rush into any big life decisions together, it's too early for that. (:
462 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I think it is sort of early, but each situation is unique. It is certainly enough time to begin to suspect that you could fall for someone which is exactly what he said he is doing.
Like my mother always said: 'Follow your heart.' The intensity and feeling of love is so strong that at times it is impossible to suppress. It's never too early, and never too late.

Lol I've dropped it way before then. I don't believe in holding in feelings.

No aslong as it's not uncomfortable saying it to eachother or awkward. If it is uncomfortable or awkward then it probably is too early:)
817 opinions shared on Relationships topic. There's no set timeline for it.. some people feel it in a month others feel it a year down the road.

I think what he meant to say was, "I'm falling in love with you." It's nearly there, but not yet.

If the feeling is mutual then its never too early.
Love=1 person
In love =2 people -
Not necessarily too early to say I love you. If you found the right person for yeah, then it's the easiest thing to say.

Considering nobody knows what love really is anyway, it's never actually too early or too late,
it's a decision to be made by everyone for him or herself, not influenced by third parties. Its long enough even the First day can also be possible to really fall in love specially when you find what you have looking for its possible he just need to prove it sincerely that's is in love with you
My boyfriend said he loved me after a couple weeks so you're fine hahaha.
It's always different. There is no time limit on love.
If you love someone, you love them.. no need to say "it's too early", it's never too early.there's no right time to say I love you, but you shoul only say it when you really mean it

short answer: 3 months is too early.
