I think when you truly mean it is when you should say it and not because the other person says it there's five hundred different types of love so it can be said that any time I love your hair I love your shoes I love how kinky you are LOL or I love you I know what you're saying but I hope I don't have any deepest pits in my soul I hope I all I have is my heart and when I truly mean it is when I will truly says but I do love everything else LOL this is a hard question because of that factor but I do know what you mean. Good question

I would say anywhere before the 3 month mark is way too early.
At around 6 months it wouldn't freak me out anymore, and I would expect to hear it by the end of the first year.
Generally speaking, I think people say it way too early.
But at the same time I think that, at least in English, there is a lack of more appropriate words to use for different stages of affection instead of "love".
Seems a lot of people say that after they have sex - like after the first date. True Love takes time to grow so if you are blurting that out too soon you have an infatuation or something. Maybe confusing "love" with other words is why relationships don't last these days.
For me, I think it took me about 6 months to feel totally confident in my feelings. Anything before that could be lust or infatuation. I wanted to be sure it was more than that, so waiting until some of that initial excitement faded was important to me.

It is too early if you haven't had sufficient time to get to know your partner.
Do you think it’s a matter of time?
I don’t. Love isn’t limited to a time frame, as if you can only love the person after a certain amount of time. I just don’t use the phrase lightly, so therefore I don’t say it to many people. If I say I love you I mean it.You'll be able to tell when you wanna say it it. You'll really feel it and want to express it. Plus see if they feel the same way. I know it's scary, but just go for it! I wouldn't say it on the 1st or 2nd date though. That's a little early and you might scare them off.
So long as it's not the first 10 minutes of the first date, which would be creepy, it's really never to early to say "I love you." When a person realizes they love the other person, that's when it's okay to tell them.
none of these are the correct answer. When you feel it with the right person you can say it without feeling ashamed to do so.
There's no time period because it's different with everyone and every relationship. But, there will be no question I believe either. And if you are questioning it, then you aren't in love. You'll know.
the girl i like said it, but, in more of a "teasing" type way, like "ill love ya" or "i love ya".. which is different from the more serious "i love you"
Voted 3 months. It depends on a lot of things.
Say it, before or after 3 months, but say only when you feel like saying it has "weight" behind it.First we have to have a clear understanding of what love is before we can claim it. I will be hosting a lecture of Love on Tuesday.
I did it after a month once and it did not go as planned.
It's only too early if you don't really mean it. If somebody is scared off by love, then they are not the right person.
I think only you will know. There’s not really a time frame.
when it feel like you would die if they let for too long...
You say it whenever you truly feel it. There's no timeframe attached to it
I would say maybe less than a month if u get to really know the person
i think we need to spend more time and after take decision.
NOT before you find out how much money they have!
Say it when you feel it. 🤷♂️
There isn't a set time for falling in love.
