When Is It Ok To First Say "I Love You." by Arami92: 4:27am On Jun 05, 2015
Now I'm a Nigerian woman all the way, but I grew up mostly in America where saying I love you is a big deal...but in my experience with some Nigerian men (especially those who grew up in Nigeria) they will just drop the "I love you's" after only 2 weeks of knowing each other..is this how guys toast you to have sex?? Do some girls actually like this?? And if so how do you know when a man truly means it when some men say it so casually??

What's the quickest you've told a woman you loved her..
Do the words even really mean anything these days..

Personally, when a guy tells me he loves me too soon I cut that off right away, and let them know not to even think of telling me such until it is something genuine and serious.

I want thoughts tongue grin

So when Guys tell you they love you after a week of dating is definitely to have sex with you or it's what you think?

Personally, i think saying "i love you" to someone so soon like a week of dating is kind of weird, but if i feel like we are going somewhere with

the relationship, and can sense his feelings, No problem. I'm not saying, i will definitely rush to that, My feelings take a long time to show grin

Everyone is different. Some people might feel comfortable with "I love you" so fast, hence they feel the same way already. There is no right time, once you feel your feelings collide with the other person, you can say it!

I said most!

But why do they do it?? Do some women fall for that?! To me it's annoying and a big turn off.

......yeah,some women fall for it.
they do it because,some girls are gullible.
some may believe they love you.
but its mostly lust,or they are just highly infatuated!

We handle emotions on different tangents. A man or woman who is soft hearted may TRULY mean those words after a week or two.
There's no encyclopedia that fixed any time frame for falling in love.

It's the genuineness you should strive to spot.

Saying I love u to a girl is too risky for me Especialy to the singles and late twenties and early thirties ... it can mean a lot to them grin so I prefer I like you so as I won't be able to hurt them in future cool

who cares?







if u feel the same way, u just dive right in...








life in 9ja is (sadly) too short to be beating around the bush.

In Ameria, if sayinq 'i love you' is a biq deal, then here in Niqeria, sayinq 'i love you' is a biqqer deal and sayinq 'i love you too' is the biqqest deal.. you have to watch out for when you say it and who said it to you (coz they may mean it or just to hype).. you should say it who you love and believes that love you too.. but not too often.

Saying I love you to a spouse within one week of knowing that person is honestly not genuine.

Tho, guys are fond of it just to get what they want, cool the girls are just so naive they cannot see through the deciet of that word.

For me, 'I love you' take time to manifest.

Or how about I tell her this:


'I like you and I like the concept of 'us'. I relish the moments we share and I want to explore the possibilities this can lead to, with you at my side that is'.smiley



See? I didn't tell her I love her outrightly but she understands I care about her deeply enough to fall heads over heels in love with her when the time comes. If we do not work in the end, she'll it's not because we didn't try to and we were honest with our feelings.

I believe in love but you don't tell every Imaobong, Nneka and Tolu you date "I LOVE YOU".smiley

Are u kidding me? Ur feelings takes time to show? Well, by then my own feeling is fast dropping on er second billing, by then u would be loving the morafucker whoe feeling for u have declined, and just playing along for the punnny, don't cry fowl when he decides to move on without ya.

If you really do mean the words.... then say it. And don't always expect to hear 'I love you too'.
Re: When Is It Ok To First Say "I Love You." by phpNET(m): 6:15pm On Jun 26, 2015
a week to two all you can get fro me if I really want more of your friendship is" I think am beginning to like you!"

and when it becomes much then you get " I really like and am beginning to fall for you."

then even if " I love you" comes immediately after that then its very OK, cos am a very passionate Person especially when it comes to some one I really really want.

mind if am deeply inlove wit you I son think about sex. cos a blessed matrimony is not forbidden in my bible.

Cheers!
