QuestionHow soon is it too soon to say I love you?Sarah Schewitz, PsyDSarah Schewitz, Psy.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist by the California Board of Psychology with over 10 years of experience.

Licensed PsychologistThat’s really an individual question. As long as you’re unattached to the outcome, and it won’t completely change your view of them if they don’t say it back, then anytime is fine. If you’re really invested in hearing “I love you” back, you might want to wait longer, probably a couple more months after you start feeling the love.
