Would you tell a partner you loved them as soon as you felt it?

Or wait it out
PinkMoon · 26-30, F Best Comment
I'd wait it out,give myself some time to investigate my feelings. They have proven over time to be fickle and flimsy. Falling in love is easy, stupid actually. One can rarely ever really know a person and when those stupid rose coloured glasses take over we can barely see any fault in the person we "love", truth is we probably love a version of someone,the version most appealing to us,the version we create in our minds so I would wait. Wait to actually get to know the real version of someone, not the one we fell in love with. The real leap is learning to love the person that actually exists.

NO tell him!

@Adelh91: 🤔 Maybe you should tell him how you feel I have to admit I lie and hold some things back from him in fear of him breaking up with me

@BlackAphrodite: well it has to be better than walking on eggshells I guess

@Adelh91: I guess if you tell him how you feel I'm pretty sure if he's understanding he'll listen and tell you how he also feels

It depends on how long we've been together. If I feel like it's too early, I'll wait a little bit so I'm less likely to freak them out. Unless I'm sure they feel the same way.

Yeah the earlier it is the crazier you seem. I wait it out now

Same straight I would, the second I felt it, darn straight I would, she dea DVDs to know how I feel and make her own dagon desicion.

Wait it out. I feel like in previous relationships I said the phrase too early.
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
Yeah me too, that's why I hold back now so I can be sure in myself

I only say it when I mean and feel it, I don't place a deadline on it.
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
I mean I do have feelings for him but personally think it's too early to say, from experience of past relationships anyway

Well...all I can say is that I've seen way too many relationships fail or not be realized due to words unshared or spoken too late.

If you can't be and show everything you are to someone without restraints, is it really ok to be together? If he's the type to get scared or use it to his advantage, why would it be any different saying it now or later?

I'm a blunt, do or die kind of guy so I'm merely sharing my opinion. In the end, you're the one that knows him and yourself and has to deal with the consequences. Asking different opinions before taking action is the mature and responsible way to reach a decision you can be comfortable with.

Of course I would.. I would love to be told so as soon as they felt it as well

well if its my partner yeah
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
Even if you thought it was too early to say?

@Adelh91: i wouldnt really consider them my partner at least romantically unless we loved each other. or at least liked and trusted each other alot in which case i wouldnt feel weird about admitting to them that i loved them.
Wait ,why give them the power
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
Very, very good point. My heart tends to get trampled on when I give it away so I'll wait it out
@Adelh91: good call ,let them say it first and often before you do
IntentionallyLonely · 36-40, M
Say it when I feel it. She may not reciprocate it later...
No
I wait for them to say it first.
I tell my friends I love them all the time, but only ever told 3 men that I love them in that way
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
I always tell friends I love them, but this is a different kind of love I guess
@Adelh91: it is different
