So last weekend, after several glasses of wine, the girl dropped the L bomb and apologized. But the it happened again later in the night. Hasn't happened since but I am curious on everyone's thoughts.

How far into a relationship is it acceptable to drop "I love you"?

i need to get back into TOTK. when it first came out i only got as far as the first dungeon (the ship in the air) but i couldn't beat it. started again with Switch 2 and now i'm just about to reach the rito village. haven't played it in a while.

i'm no expert in the dating/love game but when it feels right to you. not too early on in a relationship though. i don't think there is a right or wrong answer. only you can answer it. if it seems wrong or causes issues then in a way it's the right time to say it because you either work on it or realise it's not gonna work.

speaking of dating. i've been single for a very long time now. wasn't interested in a romantic relationship. starting online dating about 6 months ago and it has been an absolute waste of time had maybe 2 matches that went no where

Not after 2(?) weeks that's for sure. Is she a narcissist? Are you getting "love bombed"?

Ai says:

There's no universal timeline for saying "I love you," as it depends on individual feelings, relationship dynamics, and emotional readiness.

General Timing Insights:

• Many people feel ready to say "I love you" between 3 to 6 months into a relationship, which aligns with research showing men average around 3 months and women around 5 months.
• Some say it as early as 2–3 weeks, especially if the connection feels deep and authentic, while others wait 6 months to a year or more.
• A 2021 survey found that 25% of people say "I love you" within the first two to three months, and 16% do so within the first month.

Signs It Might Be the Right Time:

• You feel emotionally secure and deeply connected.
• You've shared meaningful experiences and personal details.
• You've discussed the future together and feel committed.
• You're not saying it out of loneliness, infatuation, or pressure.

Key Considerations:

• Infatuation vs. Love: Early strong feelings may be passion or infatuation, not deep love. True love grows through trust, vulnerability, and shared experiences.
• Avoid Pressure: Saying "I love you" should come from genuine emotion, not a desire to make the other person say it back.
• Be Prepared for Any Response: If they don't reciprocate, stay calm and respectful. It doesn't mean they don't care—some people express love more slowly or differently.

Bottom Line: Say "I love you" when you truly mean it, feel it in your heart, and believe it's the right moment for both you and your partner. There's no rule—only your authentic feelings and emotional readiness matter.

You must never show affection. Always leave them unfulfilled and wanting more.

Alternatively, when they hit the prostate.

It just depends on what you're both comfortable with. When I met my wife, I sprung it on her after two weeks and immediately thought "jshackles, you're a fucking idiot" but her response was "thank god you said it first because I've been thinking it and didn't want to spring it on you this early". We've been married for over 20 years now.

Other past relationships I've had? If they had said it to me after just a few weeks I would have bailed so hard.

I'm zero deep so far, both in terms of wine and little printed dudes. I did print a playable Bb bugle last night though lol.

I have 3 more meetings today, and 2 of them are important, so I can't get sloshed for another few hours.
