Another sort of poll
I seem to be in the minority on how quickly I say "I love you" to someone. I have a coworker that was talking to me today about loving the guy she is dating after about a month. Nobody else involved in the conversation thought it was a little quick. How quickly do you tend to fall in love?

Re: Another sort of poll
A month of dating sounds fast to me, too. I don't know. I think you can love things about a person after a month, but I personally have to spend more time getting to know someone before I can definitively say I'm in love.
That said, I'm not above giddy, giggly thoughts. But it's infatuation, it's excitement, it's new-ness. That's not real love, not for me.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
This weekend it will be three months with The Artist, and I still don't feel an overwhelming urge to say it.
I do like him more and more as we continue to spend time together, but I'm still not ready to say "I love you."
It's always depended on the guy. With XH I said it after 4-6 months, but he didn't say it until 8-9 months, and even then I sometimes doubted if he really did (yeah, I settled, I know).
With BF I started feeling it around the 3-4 month mark. Love is a process for me - falling in love is the beginning, but it takes me about 6-8 months to be IN love. Does that make sense?
