I think it's right to say it after a few months, let's say 2. If you say it early, for me, it's a massive let down because I feel that person is not thinking it through. Saying in the hype of the moment.
That is why it lost it's value for me. You cannot love someone after three dates. You might be infatuated, yeah, but love? No way.
You have to know her in order to love her; the third date is too soon, no doubt about it. In fact, if the woman is smart, she’d recognize it as a red flag i.e. immaturity, neediness, manipulation or whatever.

You can hook up on a third date sans having to lie or force an expression of love, lol.
I would be much more comfortable with a guy trying to get laid on a 3rd date, than one who proclaimed his love.
I'd run for the hills.

If you've known her as a friend for a year or two and are starting to date her, I can see how you could be falling in love with her after a few dates.
If you're just starting to get to know her by dating her, you're in lust, not love. Love is intentional and intellectual, lust is emotional and physical.
Strongly advise against using the L word, express your attraction in different ways, smiles, tender touch on the arm, observations of what you like about her. Enjoy her company.
Rube-ster, I think you nailed it, once again.
What I bolded, yup, Yup, YUP.
if you've just met the other person 3 dates ago, don't go with the "L" word on the third date.
On the other hand, if you've known someone for years...and you feel like the other person is feeling it too, don't miss the opportunity.
