Currently have the 3rd date coming soon

How soon is too soon to say I love you?

It depends. First date may not be too son. 10th date may be way too early.

It would be unusual on the 3rd date.

How can you possibly love someone you barely know?

If you say it on the first few dates you'll probably send her running if she has any sense. That I think would be a major red flag.

Why the rush? You're not on The Bachelor.

Three months, not three dates. I'd run for the hills if someone told me that after 3 dates. lol

Wait until she says it to you first. Otherwise, it sounds like you're a narcissist trying to lovebomb her. If you are really set on using the L word, say it about an attribute of hers, as in, "I love how dedicated you are to animal welfare," but only if it is true, otherwise - lovebombing.

I have never told a girl I loved her during any date.

Why wait? I always was the first, usually the girl follows. But besides the fact I think 2nd date or 5th date is way too soon to know if you actually love vs just want them, I believe firmly you should always speak your mind and not play games in relationships.

When you feel like you love her.

In my experience, I never rushed into such things and I've never felt like the woman was expecting it until things have progressed to the point it was obvious.

For me, 3rd date is rushing it.

The woman I eventually married, we didn't even have our 1st "official" date when I told her I was falling for her. We had been friends for well over a year and always hung out with each other in groups. Things just happened over a night of partying and drinking. We always assumed we were incompatible because we are so different; so after that we took it very slowly.

It is her you actually love? As a person?
Or did you find someone who fits your criteria from your other thread, and you love that about her?
