Saying I Love YouSaying I love you for the first time can be scary and nerve wracking. Knowing if you should say it or not and when to say it can help you have this big moment not be as scary. Tip number one is to operate from the heart. If you feel strongly that you love this person then take the courage to express your feelings. When Should You Say the 'L' Word?The dreaded 'L' word. For some people it can be the best moment of their relationship when they finally speak the words; I love you.But for others it can be devastating when the words are finally spoken and there is no response. Or when out of the blue the person your dating utters this words to you and you don't know what to say. So let's deal with first things first. When should you say I love you? When you feel that you love the person, sounds logical right? Well it may sound logical and natural but it's not always the best course of action. You need to think about the other person. Are they ready and open to hearing it? Is the relationship at that point? How will you feel if they don't say it back, are you prepared for that? Think Before you SpeakBefore saying I love you it's important to think through the effects of those three little but powerful words.A friend of mine recently started dating a man, it's at a relatively seriously level despite the fact that it's only been a month. When he dropped the L bomb my friend was not ready for it, she had just gotten out of another relationship. Although we may feel overjoyed with our new found love and want to shout it from the rooftops sometimes we need to censor ourselves. Besides, what's the rush? keep it as an amazing secret to yourself until the time is really right. And if someone tells you they love you and you don't feel the same way don't say it back just to be polite. You owe it to yourself and the other person to be truthful. That doesn't mean you have to be hurtful you can say for example Thank you for telling me that, I really care about you. Saying I Love you and other love advice
