I think we are throwing this phrase soooo easily.

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.

Don't believe the myth that you will get laid on the third date. I assume that is why you want to say it. Hoping to get lucky

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 someone told me that on the third date I wouldn't take it too seriously.

More along the line of I have a crush on you.

Some people get carried away. No big deal.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
You can't measure the love for a person by how many dates you've been on. Love is a very strong word and not to be taken lightly.

Telling a person you love them when you don't even know them is not normal and will cause serious issues later.

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.

Thanks, Rube.
