If we’ve been friends for years, is it too soon to say I love you after weeks of dating?

Let’s say you been knowing each other for many years but been dating for a few weeks now. The vibe is just different and everything else. Then that person tells you “I know it’s probably too soon but I love you”

My aim on GAG is to help you decode love, red flags, and all the delicious mess in between 💋

If you’ve been friends for years, saying “I love you” after a few weeks of dating is not too soon at all. You’re not falling for a stranger, you’re leveling up a bond that already existed. That “I know it’s too soon” line is vulnerability, not lovebombing.

If you feel it too, lean in. If you’re not there yet, respond with warmth like “I really care about you and I’m getting there.” No need to panic– this is more green flag than red flag.

So what's the point of dating, really?
And it sounds like one of you sees this as a friends with benefits situation, while the other one caught feelings.
If you're still thinking about it this way, then y'all need to define what this relationship actually is, because things are clearly evolving.

Um no we don’t see it as a friends with benefits situation

You say it when you can say it and actually mean it. Anyone can blab words. Men are the kings at saying junk they don't mean.

[Asker]

Yes you right about that lol

I would much rather say,, "you've known each other" it's MUCH MORE grammatically correct! It's also quicker than, "You been knowing each other".
As for when to say it, just speak your heart when you need to and, hopefully, they'll feel the same way.

Okay thank you

Depends on the kind of person your partner is. Some will find it fine. Others may find it too soon

Everything is possible between two different gender people
